Icon Layout Migration Across Single- and Multi-Screen Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing icon data migration technologies fail to correctly retain icon layouts when migrating between devices with different screen types, leading to scattered, incomplete, or inconsistent icon data on multi-screen devices.
Innovation Solution
An icon data migration method that calculates actual icon data based on reference icon data and the device's display screen layout, using an icon mapping algorithm to align layouts between single-screen and multi-screen devices, ensuring consistent and complete icon data transfer.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If icon data is migrated from a single-screen device to a multi-screen device using existing migration software, then icon data can be transferred between devices, but the icon layout cannot be correctly retained and icons become irregularly scattered on the outer screen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by detecting the screen configuration parameters (single-screen vs. multi-screen, screen resolutions, quantities of screens) and adjusting the icon layout parameters accordingly. The system calculates target icon positions based on the to-be-migrated device's screen parameters, ensuring icons are correctly distributed across multiple screens rather than scattered irregularly. This resolves the contradiction by dynamically adapting layout parameters to maintain both accuracy and user convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the icon layout migration process into distinct phases: detecting source device screen configuration, determining target device screen configuration, calculating icon positions for each screen, and distributing icons to appropriate screens. This segmentation allows the system to handle multi-screen layouts systematically, preventing icon scattering while maintaining user convenience through automated processing.
2Measurement precision
If icon data is migrated from a multi-screen device to a single-screen device, then icon data can be transferred, but the to-be-migrated icon data expected by the user is inconsistent with actually migrated icon data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by detecting and analyzing the source device's screen configuration (multi-screen vs. single-screen, screen resolutions) before migration, and pre-calculating the appropriate icon layout for the target device. This preliminary detection and calculation ensure that the icon data migrated matches user expectations, preventing information loss and inconsistency between expected and actual migration results.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by comparing the detected source device configuration with the target device configuration, and adjusting the icon migration process accordingly. The system provides feedback loops to ensure icon data completeness and accuracy, verifying that the migrated icons match user expectations before finalizing the migration.
3Productivity
If icon data is migrated from a single-screen device to a multi-screen device, then icon data can be transferred, but the migrated icon data is incomplete or missing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dimensionality change by transitioning from a single-screen layout (one-dimensional display) to a multi-screen layout (multi-dimensional display space). The system calculates icon positions across multiple screens by considering both horizontal and vertical distributions, ensuring complete icon migration without loss. This dimensional adaptation maintains migration efficiency while ensuring data completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal icon migration system that can handle both single-screen to multi-screen and multi-screen to single-screen migrations, as well as migrations between devices with different screen resolutions. This multi-functional approach ensures complete icon data migration across various device configurations while maintaining high migration efficiency through a unified detection and calculation framework.

AI summary
An icon data migration method, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium are provided. A link establishment request sent by a migration device is obtained, where the link establishment request carries a device type of the migration device, and the device type includes a single-screen device or a multi-screen device. Reference icon data of the migration device is obtained based on the device type of the migration device and a device type of a to-be-migrated device after a link is successfully established. Actual icon data is calculated based on the reference icon data and an obtained icon layout of a first display screen. An icon corresponding to the actual icon data is displayed based on the icon layout. In this way, icon data migration between migration devices of different device types and to-be-migrated devices of different device types can be implemented, so that a use habit of a user and icon data are retained to a maximum extent, and it is more convenient for the user to organize and manage desktop icons, thereby improving convenience of using the icons by the user.
