Full-Screen Interface Display With Sensor-Matched Function Icons
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The issue of screen fragmentation and poor user experience in full-screen mobile phones due to the presence of front-facing sensor interaction components, such as cameras and sensors, which disrupt the seamless display effect.
Innovation Solution
A method that involves obtaining the display position of these components and matching it with a target function icon in a configuration file, adjusting the icon's shape and position to match the component's shape and position, and displaying them together to minimize visual fragmentation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of moving object
If front-facing sensor interaction components are hidden below the screen in full-screen display, then screen-to-body ratio is improved, but display uniformity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual display shape that copies the physical display shape of the front-facing sensor interaction component. This virtual shape is rendered on the screen at the corresponding position, making the hidden component visible through its display representation, thus maintaining display uniformity while preserving the full-screen design
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a display shape as an intermediary between the hidden front-facing sensor interaction component and the user. This display shape serves as a visual mediator that represents the physical component's position and shape without requiring the physical component to be visible, resolving the contradiction between hidden placement and visual uniformity
2Stability of the object's composition
If front-facing sensor interaction components are displayed on the screen, then display uniformity is improved, but screen-to-body ratio deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of displaying the actual physical component which would reduce screen-to-body ratio, the patent displays a virtual copy - a display shape that represents the component's position and shape. This copy maintains visual uniformity without occupying additional physical screen area, thus preserving the high screen-to-body ratio
3Stability of the object's composition
If display shape of front-facing sensor interaction component is matched with function icon, then display uniformity is improved, but processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the display shape of the front-facing sensor interaction component with a function icon. By combining these two elements into a unified display object, the patent achieves display uniformity while actually reducing processing complexity compared to managing separate display elements that would require additional coordination and rendering logic

AI summary
An interface display method and an electronic device are provided. The method includes: obtaining a first display position of a display shape of a front-facing sensor interaction component on a full-screen display; searching a configuration file for a target function icon corresponding to the front-facing sensor interaction component, where the configuration file includes a display position, on the full-screen display, of a function icon corresponding to at least one function in an enabled state, and a second display position of the target function icon on the full-screen display is the same as or close to the first display position of the front-facing sensor interaction component on the full-screen display; and displaying a processed target function icon on the full-screen display, where a display position of the processed target function icon is the same as or close to the first display position, and a display shape of the processed target function icon is the same as or similar to the display shape of the front-facing sensor interaction component on the full-screen display. In this way, a sense of fragmentation of a screen in a full-screen display technology can be alleviated, so that user experience is improved.
