Information Display Priority Segmentation for Electronic Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic devices struggle to display important information timely due to unimportant information occupying display space, causing important notifications like missed calls or SMSs to be hidden.
Innovation Solution
Implement a method to categorize and display information based on priority, using different display areas and effects for first and second priority information, along with distinct prompts to highlight important notifications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If information is displayed according to receiving time, then the display area is fully utilized, but important information may be covered by unimportant information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments information into different priority levels (first priority for important information, second priority for unimportant information). This segmentation allows the system to display multiple information items while ensuring important information is not covered, as each priority level has its own display strategy and positioning rules.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple information items are displayed in the specific area, then the display capacity is increased, but the visibility of important information is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by giving different display treatments to different priority levels of information. First priority information is displayed with higher visibility (e.g., larger icons, specific positions), while second priority information uses standard display. This ensures important information remains visible even when multiple items are displayed.
3Quantity of substance
If unimportant information occupies display space, then more information can be shown, but important information cannot be displayed timely
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary classification of information into priority levels before display. By pre-identifying important information (first priority) and unimportant information (second priority), the system can arrange them in advance to ensure important information is always visible, eliminating the time loss associated with searching for important notifications.

AI summary
The present invention discloses a method of displaying information by category and an electronic device. The method is applied in an electronic device including a touch display unit, the method comprising: obtaining M pieces of information to be processed, where M is an integer no less than 2; determining, based on a predetermined rule, that a display priority for N pieces of information of the M pieces of information to be processed is a first priority, and a display priority for K pieces of information of the M pieces of information to be processed is a second priority, the N pieces of information to be processed being different from the K pieces of information to be processed, where N is an integer no less than 0 but no more than M, K is an integer no less than 0 but no more than M, and a sum of N and K is no more than M; and displaying the N pieces of information to be processed and the K pieces of information to be processed on the touch display unit in different display ways.
