Solution Overview

Problem

Existing interface display methods require users to navigate through multiple layers and perform precise clicks to access detailed information, leading to inefficiencies in accessing and switching between interfaces.

Innovation Solution

A method where a first gesture operation on a specified interface determines a target information display area, triggering the display of a detail interface associated with that area, allowing faster access without the need for precise clicking, and enabling quick switching between interfaces using gesture operations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If users perform precise click operations on entries to access detail interfaces, then interface navigation accuracy is improved, but operation complexity and time consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface navigation accuracyVSAvoidtime consumption for interface access
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The specified interface is divided into multiple information display areas, each corresponding to a specific detail interface. When a user performs a gesture operation in a particular area, the system segments the navigation task by directly accessing the corresponding detail interface, eliminating the need to search for and click on specific entries.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The gesture operation mechanism serves multiple functions: it enables both navigation between interfaces and selection of information display areas simultaneously. A single gesture operation in any information display area triggers the display of the corresponding detail interface, making the interaction method universal across different interface states.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Quantity of substance

If multiple interface layers are used to display information, then information aggregation capability is improved, but interface switching complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation aggregation capabilityVSAvoidinterface switching complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The interface system dynamically switches between the specified interface and detail interfaces based on user gesture operations. The transition is fluid and context-aware, allowing the system to adapt between displaying aggregated information and detailed information without requiring complex manual navigation through multiple static interface layers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The gesture operation acts as an intermediary mechanism that simplifies interface switching. Instead of requiring users to manually navigate through multiple interface layers, the gesture operation mediates the transition by automatically determining which detail interface to display based on the location of the gesture within the specified interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Stability of the object's composition

If search area is fixed to interface changes, then interface consistency is improved, but search functionality accessibility deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface consistencyVSAvoidsearch functionality accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The search area is separated from the interface layer hierarchy by being displayed in a floating manner above the specified interface. This dimensional change allows the search area to remain accessible and visible regardless of interface transitions, as it exists in a different display layer that does not change with interface changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
