Force-Sensitive Display History Output Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic devices that rely solely on touch buttons for force inputs result in reduced user engagement and satisfaction due to the lack of personalized content output, leading to infrequent use of force input features.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device and method that output history information and specialized content related to user device usage characteristics in response to force inputs, allowing for increased utilization and easier access to previously used or recommended functions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the device outputs simple touch button content for force inputs, then the device operation is straightforward, but user engagement and satisfaction are reduced due to lack of personalized content
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-stores history information related to user device usage characteristics before force input occurs. When a force input is detected, this pre-stored information is immediately output without requiring complex real-time processing, thus maintaining simple operation while providing personalized content.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically detects force inputs and outputs corresponding history information without requiring users to manually search or configure settings. The device serves itself by autonomously providing personalized content based on detected user actions, enhancing engagement while keeping the interface simple.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the device outputs specialized and summarized history information, then user engagement increases, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the most relevant history information related to user device usage characteristics and outputs it in response to force inputs. By selecting and outputting only essential information rather than processing and displaying all possible data, the system provides personalized content without requiring complex processing infrastructure.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the device stores and outputs history information related to forcing points, then user satisfaction improves through personalized content, but information processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system stores and outputs history information specifically related to forcing points (areas where force input is detected) rather than maintaining comprehensive system-wide information. This localized approach to information storage and retrieval provides personalized content while minimizing overall information processing requirements.

AI summary
An electronic device is provided that includes a memory, a display that detects a force input based on an external pressure, and a processor electrically coupled with the memory and the display. The processor executes an application that is operable corresponding to the force input, controls to store history information in the memory on use of the electronic device, the history information being related to a forcing point, to which the force input is applied, on an execution screen of the application, and controls to output via the display the history information to an area adjacent to the forcing point if the force input to the forcing point occurs.
