Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices lack an efficient method to quickly access and manage multiple electronic tickets, such as boarding passes and credit cards, which often have common data, leading to user inconvenience when trying to access or display these tickets.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device with a processor and display that identifies multiple electronic tickets registered in a second software application, executes the application, and displays a visual object in the user interface, including integration information for these tickets, allowing for streamlined access and management.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If multiple electronic tickets are stored separately in different applications, then each ticket can be accessed individually, but the user interface becomes complex and requires multiple user inputs to access all tickets

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of access to multiple ticketsVSAvoidcomplexity of user interface
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple electronic tickets from different applications into a single integrated visual object displayed in one user interface. This allows users to access multiple tickets (boarding passes, credit cards, etc.) through a single interface rather than navigating through multiple separate applications, thereby improving ease of operation while reducing interface complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal visual object that serves multiple functions by displaying different types of electronic tickets (boarding passes, credit cards, transit passes, etc.) within a single user interface. This multi-functional design allows one interface to handle various ticket types that would traditionally require separate applications, simplifying the user experience.

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

2Productivity

If electronic tickets with common data are displayed separately, then each ticket maintains its individuality, but the user must perform multiple user inputs to access and manage all tickets

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeed of ticket accessVSAvoidtime required to access multiple tickets
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-integrating multiple electronic tickets into a single visual object that is automatically displayed when the application is opened. The system proactively organizes and presents all tickets with common data in one interface before the user needs to access them, eliminating the need for multiple sequential user inputs and reducing access time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary visual object that acts as a mediator between the user and multiple electronic tickets. This visual object serves as a unified gateway that presents all tickets with common data in a single view, allowing users to access multiple tickets through one interaction rather than multiple separate actions, thereby increasing productivity and reducing time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If a single visual object displays multiple electronic tickets, then access is streamlined and user interface is simplified, but the visual design must accommodate different ticket types

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of user interfaceVSAvoiddifficulty of visual design
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the visual object into distinct sections or areas that can accommodate different types of electronic tickets (boarding passes, credit cards, transit passes, etc.). Each section can be designed to handle specific ticket types with their particular data formats and requirements, while the overall structure remains unified. This segmentation allows the system to maintain simplicity and ease of manufacture by handling each ticket type in a standardized manner within the larger integrated structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

According to an embodiment, a method for operating an electronic device comprising a display may be provided. The method may include identifying that multiple electronic tickets for multiple users, issued through a first software application, are registered within a second software application. The method may include executing the second software application after the identification. The method may include, on the basis of the execution of the second software application, displaying a visual object via the display in the user interface of the second software application, the visual object comprising integrated information of the multiple electronic tickets and being for providing the multiple electronic tickets in the user interface.
