Folding Display Screen Shortcut Panel Layout
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing terminal technologies do not effectively utilize folding display screens to provide a convenient and unobstructed view of both the user interface and shortcut operation panels, leading to a less efficient user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for a terminal with a folding display screen that displays a user interface on the home screen and a shortcut operation panel on the auxiliary screen when it is expanded, allowing for easy access to shortcut functions without obstructing the main display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the shortcut operation panel is displayed on the home screen, then the user can access shortcut functions, but the view of the user interface is obstructed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the display screen into multiple independent regions: the home screen area for displaying the user interface and the auxiliary screen area for displaying the shortcut operation panel. This segmentation allows both the user interface and shortcut panel to be displayed simultaneously without obstructing each other, as they occupy separate spatial zones on the display.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes the foldable display's spatial dimension by displaying the shortcut operation panel on the auxiliary screen when the display is in the expanded state. This effectively uses the additional spatial dimension provided by the folded-out auxiliary screen to host the shortcut panel, preventing it from obstructing the main user interface on the home screen.
2Area of stationary object
If the display screen is folded to provide more display area, then the user interface and shortcut panel can be displayed separately, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the display screen multi-functional by enabling it to serve different purposes in different states: in the folded state, it provides a compact form factor, and in the expanded state, it provides increased display area for simultaneously showing the user interface and shortcut operation panel. The same physical display structure adapts to different functional requirements based on its configuration state.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a dynamic display structure that can transition between folded and expanded states. This dynamic capability allows the device to adapt its display area and layout configuration based on user needs, providing both compact portability and expanded functionality without requiring multiple separate devices or permanently complex structures.
