Solution Overview

Problem

The efficiency of switching between function services in virtual reality applications is low due to the need for manual closure and opening of current and next function services.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a human-computer interaction method that displays a first application interface with a main interface display area and an associated display area, allowing for quick switching between functions in the form of 'tiles' by folding the current function page and displaying the target function entry in the associated display area.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual closure and opening of current and next function services is implemented, then function switching can be achieved, but switching efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunction switching efficiencyVSAvoidtime for manual switching operations
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by displaying multiple function service entries in advance within the current application interface. Users can directly select from these pre-displayed entries without needing to manually close the current service first, thereby reducing switching time and improving efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the function service selection interface with the current application interface by displaying function entries within the same interface space. This integration eliminates the need to switch between separate interfaces for service selection and execution, streamlining the switching process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of operation

If current function page is folded and function entry is displayed in associated display area, then smooth transition between functions is achieved, but interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesmoothness of function transitionVSAvoidinterface structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the display interface into a main display area and an associated display area. The main area shows the current function service while the associated area displays available function entries. This segmentation organizes complex information into manageable sections, improving usability despite the increased interface elements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes spatial dimension by folding the current function page and displaying the function entry in a different spatial location (associated display area). This dimensional transition creates a smooth visual effect for function switching while organizing interface elements in three-dimensional space rather than simple two-dimensional layout.

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

AI summary

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a human-computer interaction method, a display method, an apparatus, and a device. The human-computer interaction method comprises: when receiving an instruction of opening a first application, displaying a first application interface, wherein the first application interface comprises a main interface display area and an associated display area, the associated display area is used for displaying a plurality of candidate function entries, and the main interface display area is used for displaying a display page of a currently called function (301); in response to an instruction of opening a target function entry in the associated display area, closing the display page of the currently called function, and displaying a function entry of the currently called function in the associated display area (302); and displaying a display page of a target function in the main interface display area (303). According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, functional pages having different functions can be rapidly switched on the basis of triggering of the function entries, and the switching effect of different functions in a "tile" form is realized, thereby improving the switching smoothness and switching efficiency between the different functions.
