Icon Position Interchanging via Sliding Vector Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for managing numerous application program icons on terminals are not accurate in recognizing user intentions, often leading to incorrect operations due to imprecise icon position interchanging.
Innovation Solution
An icon position interchanging method that determines whether sliding signals triggered by dragging operations over two icons are consistent with preset conditions regarding vector lengths and directions, ensuring accurate recognition and execution of icon position changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If simple sliding gesture is used for icon position interchange, then ease of operation is improved, but measurement precision of user intention deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameters of the sliding gesture by introducing vector length thresholds and direction constraints. It determines whether the sliding distance exceeds a preset threshold and whether the sliding direction aligns with the connection direction between icons, thereby transforming a simple gesture into a more precise control mechanism that reduces misoperation while maintaining ease of use.
2Reliability
If sliding distance threshold is increased to avoid misoperation, then reliability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent optimizes the sliding distance threshold parameter to balance reliability and ease of operation. By setting an appropriate threshold that is not too strict, it ensures that intentional sliding gestures are recognized while preventing accidental misoperations, thus achieving a compromise between accuracy and user convenience.
3Measurement precision
If vector direction consistency check is added, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a direction angle parameter to check whether the sliding direction is consistent with the connection direction between icons. By calculating the angle between the sliding vector and the icon connection vector, it adds a precise control dimension that reduces misoperation without requiring complex system architecture changes.
