Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices with touch displays lack intuitive operation interfaces, leading to reduced operational convenience for users, as they often rely solely on cursor operations and graphical inputs without dedicated touch operation modes for specific events.

Innovation Solution

A control method that determines practical operation events and matches them with predefined operation events, displaying corresponding interfaces on a touch operation display to enhance user interaction, improving operational convenience by providing dedicated interfaces for key and application program operations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a touch display is equipped in an electronic device, then user interaction capability is improved, but operational convenience for specific events is not sufficiently enhanced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational convenienceVSAvoidtouch operation adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The touch display is segmented into different operational modes: general touch operation mode and instant operation mode. The instant operation mode is further segmented into different instant operation interfaces corresponding to different events (e.g., key operation event, application program operation event). This segmentation allows the system to provide specialized interfaces for specific events, improving operational convenience while maintaining versatility through multiple modes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If only cursor operations and graphical inputs are provided, then device complexity is reduced, but ease of operation for touch-specific events deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetouch operation convenienceVSAvoidoperation interface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The operation interface is made dynamic by switching between different instant operation interfaces based on the triggered event. When a key operation event occurs, the key operation interface is displayed; when an application program operation event occurs, the corresponding application operation interface is displayed. This dynamic adaptation provides touch-specific operations for each event type without requiring a completely complex static interface design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If dedicated instant operation interfaces are added for specific events, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevent-specific operation convenienceVSAvoidinterface management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The instant operation interface serves multiple functions by being dynamically configured based on the triggered event. A single interface framework handles different event types (key operations, application program operations, etc.) through event-driven configuration. This multi-functionality approach improves ease of operation for specific events while avoiding the need for completely separate dedicated interfaces for each event type, thus managing complexity effectively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

The disclosure discloses a control method. The control method comprises: determining that a practical operation event is triggered; determining that whether the practical operation event conforms to one of predetermined operation events to generate a determining result; defining predetermined operation event corresponding to the practical operation event as an instant operation interface, and defining an operation interface corresponding to the predetermined operation event as an instant operation interface when the determining result is yes; and displaying the instant operation interface on a touch operation display.
