Solution Overview

Problem

The setting of anti-interference modes, such as game mode, in existing mobile terminals is cumbersome, leading to poor user experience during full-screen entertainment activities.

Innovation Solution

A processing method for a display interface that allows users to quickly set running performance and/or preset interference events by displaying a preset switch interface with a configuration switch list upon a specific gesture operation during full-screen display of a preset application interface.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If game mode is set up before game starts, then anti-interference function is provided, but setting is cumbersome and takes a lot of time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-interference functionVSAvoidsetting operation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring the anti-interference function through a gesture-triggered configuration interface. Instead of requiring users to manually set game mode before each game, the system provides a gesture operation that quickly activates the configuration interface, allowing users to preset their preferences in advance. This resolves the contradiction by making the preliminary setup action much faster and easier while maintaining the reliability of the anti-interference function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts the configuration interface from the traditional multi-step settings menu and presents it as a dedicated gesture-triggered overlay. By separating the configuration access path from the general settings menu, users can quickly access and modify anti-interference settings without navigating through cumbersome menus. This extraction principle resolves the contradiction by making the setting operation simple and fast while preserving the anti-interference functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Reliability

If game mode is turned on during the game, then users can get anti-interference, but users need to switch from game interface to background which interrupts gameplay

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-interference functionVSAvoidtime to switch modes
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by enabling users to configure their anti-interference preferences before gameplay begins through the gesture-triggered interface. Users can preset which applications should be blocked or allowed during gaming sessions, eliminating the need to switch modes during gameplay. This resolves the contradiction by making the configuration action happen in advance, so the anti-interference function is already active when needed without interrupting the game.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a gesture operation as an intermediary mechanism that provides quick access to configuration settings without requiring full mode switching. The gesture-triggered configuration interface acts as a mediator between the user and the system settings, allowing rapid configuration changes during gameplay without leaving the game interface. This resolves the contradiction by providing a smooth transition path that maintains gameplay continuity while enabling anti-interference functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If traditional settings menu is used, then comprehensive configuration options are provided, but setting process is complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconfiguration optionsVSAvoidsetting process
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the configuration interface into a gesture-triggered overlay that presents only the most essential configuration options immediately accessible during gameplay. Complex settings are separated into secondary menus that can be accessed only when needed. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by making the primary setting process simple and fast through the gesture interface, while still providing comprehensive configuration options through the segmented menu structure for users who need detailed control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a processing method of a display interface and a mobile terminal. The processing method of the display interface includes: when a current display interface is a preset application interface, and a display mode of the preset application interface in the current display interface is full-screen display, receiving a first gesture operation on the current display interface; and in response to the first gesture operation, displaying a preset switch interface in the current display interface. A preset configuration switch list is displayed in the preset switch interface.
