Solution Overview

Problem

Users face difficulty in identifying graphic objects such as stickers and emoticons when the display mode of their smartphones or instant messaging applications is changed, as the objects' colors may become similar to the theme color of the new mode, making them hard to distinguish.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that detect changes in display mode and adjust the color of graphic objects by displaying a color change icon, allowing users to select a new color or automatically changing the object's color to a complementary hue, ensuring visibility regardless of the theme color.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If the display mode is changed to reduce eye strain or power consumption, then the theme color is adjusted, but the graphic objects become difficult to identify due to color similarity with the theme color

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeye strainVSAvoidvisibility of graphic objects
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies color changes by detecting the theme color of the display mode and automatically adjusting the color of graphic objects (stickers, emoticons) to contrast with the theme color. This ensures that graphic objects remain visible and identifiable regardless of whether the display mode is light mode, dark mode, or any custom theme color, thus resolving the contradiction between theme color adjustment for eye strain reduction and graphic object visibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

2Use of energy by stationary object

If the color theme is changed to reduce power consumption, then energy efficiency is improved, but the graphic objects lose distinguishability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower consumptionVSAvoiddistinguishability of graphic objects
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by stationary objectVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects the theme color associated with the display mode and adjusts the color of graphic objects to maintain distinguishability. This allows users to change color themes for power consumption reduction without sacrificing the ability to identify graphic objects, as the system dynamically adapts the graphic object colors to complement the selected theme.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

3Difficulty of detecting and measuring

If the graphic object color is changed to maintain visibility, then the distinguishability is improved, but the device complexity increases due to color detection and adjustment mechanisms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedistinguishability of graphic objectsVSAvoidcolor adjustment mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Difficulty of detecting and measuringVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically detecting the theme color and adjusting graphic object colors without requiring user intervention. The processor autonomously identifies the display mode's theme color and applies appropriate color adjustments to graphic objects, eliminating the need for complex manual color selection interfaces while maintaining distinguishability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the color parameter of graphic objects dynamically based on the detected theme color of the display mode. By adjusting the color parameter automatically according to the display mode, the system maintains graphic object distinguishability without requiring complex user interaction or manual configuration mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Difficulty of detecting and measuring

If the system automatically adjusts graphic object colors, then the visibility is maintained, but the ease of operation decreases due to additional detection and processing steps

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisibility of graphic objectsVSAvoiduser interaction requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
Difficulty of detecting and measuringVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically detecting the theme color and adjusting graphic object colors without requiring user intervention. The processor autonomously identifies the display mode's theme color and applies appropriate color adjustments to graphic objects, eliminating the need for complex manual color selection interfaces while maintaining distinguishability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A method for providing a graphic object based on a display mode, may include receiving the graphic object, displaying the graphic object on a display of the user terminal, detecting a change of the display mode of the user terminal from a first display mode to a second display mode, and in response to detecting the change of the display mode of the user terminal from the first display mode to the second display mode, changing a color of at least a portion of the graphic object.
