Force-Sensitive Touch Feedback via Dynamic Loading Bar
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users experience poor user experience due to uncertainty about the validity or correctness of their operations on mobile terminals, as they cannot determine if their press operations successfully parse content for further information, leading to cumbersome and error-prone search processes.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal method that displays a loading bar representing the magnitude of a press operation's force value, loading the bar to a preset length when the force threshold is reached, and parsing the content, providing intuitive feedback to the user through the loading bar's progression.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a mobile terminal displays content without providing operation feedback, then the device complexity is reduced, but the user experience deteriorates because users cannot determine if their operations are valid
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a loading bar that provides visual feedback to users during press operations. The loading bar dynamically updates to show the magnitude of the press operation and indicates whether the operation is being processed successfully, resolving the contradiction by adding minimal feedback mechanisms that significantly improve user experience without substantially increasing device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The loading bar utilizes color changes to communicate operation status to users. Different colors indicate different states (e.g., processing vs. successful parsing), providing intuitive feedback that enhances ease of operation while maintaining simple implementation through standard display capabilities
2Reliability
If the mobile terminal requires multiple selections to avoid incorrect operation, then the reliability of operation is improved, but the productivity deteriorates due to cumbersome search processes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical touch input with force-sensitive touch detection. By measuring the magnitude of press operations, the system can distinguish between intentional user actions and accidental touches, improving reliability without requiring multiple selections. This substitution of force sensing for repeated mechanical interactions accelerates information acquisition while maintaining operation accuracy
3Ease of operation
If the mobile terminal provides detailed operation feedback, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional feedback mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The loading bar serves multiple functions simultaneously: it displays the magnitude of press operation, indicates processing status, and communicates success or failure of content parsing. This multi-functionality provides comprehensive operation feedback while avoiding the need for separate feedback mechanisms, thereby improving ease of operation without proportionally increasing device complexity

AI summary
Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose an information display method, an apparatus and a mobile terminal, which relate to the field of mobile terminal technologies. The method includes: receiving a press operation on a preset display content; displaying, based on the press operation, a loading bar representing a magnitude of a force value of the press operation; and loading the loading bar to a preset length when the force value of the press operation reaches a preset threshold, and parsing the preset display content. In this solution, intuitive feedback for the magnitude of the force of the press operation is made through the loading bar, so that the user can know the press process, improving the user experience.
