Solution Overview

Problem

Existing Easter egg displays in visual interfaces of electronic devices often block user interaction by covering the entire window, leading to a suboptimal human-computer interaction experience.

Innovation Solution

Display Easter eggs superimposed on a specified region of the homepage in a visual interface, allowing users to interact with other regions during display, enhancing interaction through partial coverage and dynamic movement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If the Easter egg is displayed as a popup window covering the whole visual interface, then the Easter egg display effect is prominent and eye-catching, but the user interaction with other regions of the terminal is strongly blocked

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveEaster egg display prominenceVSAvoiduser interaction accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The Easter egg is displayed only in the specified region (such as the avatar region) rather than covering the entire visual interface. This localizes the Easter egg display to a specific area, maintaining its prominence and eye-catching effect while leaving other regions accessible for user interaction. The specified region occupies a relatively small area compared to the full interface, balancing visibility with usability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If the Easter egg is displayed in a popup window covering the whole window, then the Easter egg can be displayed prominently, but the interaction between the user and the terminal is strongly blocked

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveEaster egg display reliabilityVSAvoidinterface interaction flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The visual interface is segmented into multiple regions, with the Easter egg displayed only in a specified region (e.g., avatar region) rather than occupying the entire interface. This segmentation allows the Easter egg to be displayed reliably in its designated area while simultaneously preserving the flexibility and adaptability of other interface regions for various user interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of operation

If the Easter egg is displayed superimposed on the picture in the specified region, then the user can interact with other regions without being blocked, but the Easter egg display effect may be less prominent

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction accessibilityVSAvoidEaster egg display prominence
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The Easter egg is displayed with enhanced visual properties (such as animation effects, color variations, or scaling) specifically within the specified region to maintain prominence. The local quality principle ensures that while the Easter egg occupies only a portion of the interface, its visual impact is intensified through targeted design elements, balancing reduced screen real estate with enhanced local visibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
