Gestural GUI Navigation With Core Page and Secondary Sheets
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Navigating through multiple pages of a graphical user interface (GUI) to find relevant information is inefficient, consuming computing resources and network resources, and often requires unintuitive navigation due to lack of clear indications of content changes on tabs.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a core page with associated sheets that display filtered information from secondary pages, allowing gestural interactions to update the GUI dynamically, reducing the need for extensive navigation by displaying updated information directly on the core page.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users navigate through multiple pages to find relevant information, then complete information can be accessed, but computing resources and network resources are consumed inefficiently
Solution Approach 1:
The interface is segmented into a core page and multiple sheets, where each sheet represents a secondary page. The core page contains a subset of display elements from each sheet, allowing users to access filtered information from multiple pages simultaneously without navigating away from the core page.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple sheets corresponding to different secondary pages are merged into a single core page view. The core page combines display elements from multiple sheets, enabling users to access information from multiple pages in one location rather than navigating through each page separately.
2Ease of operation
If traditional navigation methods are used, then page transitions are possible, but the process requires extensive navigation steps and consumes network resources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent adds a new dimension to navigation by implementing sheets that can be swiped horizontally while the core page remains stationary. This creates a multi-layered navigation structure where users can access secondary pages through horizontal swiping gestures without traditional page transitions, reducing navigation time and maintaining context.
Solution Approach 2:
The core page pre-loads and displays filtered information from multiple secondary pages in the form of sheets. Users can access this pre-prepared information directly on the core page or swipe to view additional sheets, eliminating the need to navigate through multiple pages to find relevant information.
3Loss of information
If all display elements from secondary pages are shown, then complete information is available, but the interface becomes complex and resource-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
Different parts of the interface have different functions: the core page provides an overview with filtered information from multiple sheets, while individual sheets contain the complete display elements for their respective secondary pages. This local differentiation allows the core page to remain simple while maintaining access to complete information through sheets.
Solution Approach 2:
The core page displays a partial subset of display elements from each sheet, showing only the most relevant filtered information. Users can swipe to view additional sheets if they need more complete information, providing a progressive disclosure approach that reduces initial interface complexity while maintaining information accessibility.
Data Source
AI summary
In some implementations, a device may provide, for display via a display screen, a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes a first page and one or more sheets corresponding to respective secondary pages, wherein the one or more sheets include respective sets of one or more display elements from respective sets of display elements associated with the respective secondary pages. The device may detect a first gestural interaction in an area of the display screen that is associated with a portion of the GUI, the first gestural interaction indicating an action. The device may update, based on detecting the first gestural interaction and the action, the GUI to cause one or more other portions, from the first page and the one or more sheets, of the GUI to display updated information in accordance with the action. The device may provide, for display, the GUI indicating the updated information.
