Home Screen Card Stacking for Efficient Push Information Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The limited display space on the leftmost home screen of electronic devices results in inefficient human-computer interaction and utilization of display resources, as users need to flip through multiple cards to access important push information.
Innovation Solution
Implement a method where cards are stacked and tiled on the leftmost home screen, allowing for efficient display of multiple cards within the available space, and users can stack or unfold cards with simple sliding gestures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If multiple cards are tiled on the leftmost home screen to display all push information, then information completeness is improved, but display space utilization deteriorates and operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the traditional single-layer card display into a multi-dimensional stacked structure. Cards are arranged in vertical stacks rather than flat tiling, utilizing the vertical dimension more effectively. This allows multiple cards to be organized in groups where only representative cards are fully visible, while others are stacked behind, dramatically improving display space utilization while maintaining access to all information through stack interaction.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the collection of push information cards into multiple stacks grouped by category or priority. Instead of displaying all cards individually in a single flat layer, cards are divided into logical groups (stacks), with each stack containing related cards. This segmentation reduces the visual clutter and improves display efficiency while maintaining information completeness through organized access.
2Loss of information
If multiple cards are tiled to show all information, then information accessibility is improved, but human-computer interaction efficiency deteriorates due to repeated flipping
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-organizing cards into stacks based on their relationships, priorities, or categories before display. Each stack is structured with a representative card on top that indicates the presence and nature of other cards in the stack. This preliminary organization eliminates the need for users to flip through cards sequentially, as they can directly access relevant stacks and see summaries of contained information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses copying by displaying representative or summary information on the top card of each stack that replicates key details of the cards beneath it. This allows users to obtain essential information from the visible representative card without needing to flip through all cards in the stack, significantly improving interaction efficiency while maintaining information accessibility.
3Area of stationary object
If cards are stacked to save display space, then display space utilization is improved, but operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling users to interact with card stacks through intuitive gestures that automatically perform common operations. For example, a single tap on a stack automatically expands it to show all cards, while a swipe gesture automatically collapses it back to the representative card. The system also automatically manages stack creation, organization, and updating based on incoming push information, reducing the operational burden on users.

AI summary
This application provides a card information display method, an electronic device, and a graphical user interface, and relates to the field of terminal technologies. A problem of poor human-computer interaction when a user views push information is resolved. When the electronic device displays the leftmost home screen, a plurality of cards of a same card type may be stacked for display. For example, the plurality of first cards may be stacked and displayed in the first area. Apparently, a stacking manner can reduce display resources occupied by the plurality of first cards. In this way, more other cards may be further displayed on the leftmost home screen, so that utilization of display space is improved.
