Solution Overview

Problem

Existing in-vehicle terminal systems face challenges in efficiently transferring interfaces across multiple displays to provide users with an intelligent and user-friendly display experience that meets their requirements and habits.

Innovation Solution

The proposed control method determines the intention behind a user's operation to decide between cross-screen transfer and one-screen transfer, ensuring that the transferred interface is displayed in an eye-catching manner without interrupting ongoing tasks on the target screen. This is achieved by analyzing the sliding direction and speed of the user's operation and adjusting the display type accordingly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If full-screen cross-screen transfer is used to transfer interfaces between displays, then the transferred interface is displayed prominently, but ongoing tasks on the target screen are interrupted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay prominenceVSAvoidtask continuity
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the display screen into multiple regions, allowing the transferred interface to be displayed in a specific region rather than occupying the entire screen. This enables the transferred interface to be visible and accessible while other tasks continue to run in different regions without interruption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different display qualities to different regions of the screen. The transferred interface receives focused attention in its designated region while other tasks maintain their display presence in other regions, creating a localized display strategy that balances prominence with task continuity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Productivity

If multiple task interfaces are displayed simultaneously on the same screen, then task continuity is maintained, but the transferred interface cannot be displayed prominently

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask continuityVSAvoiddisplay prominence
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from a two-dimensional screen space competition to a three-dimensional solution by utilizing multiple display screens. The transferred interface can be prominently displayed on one screen while other tasks continue on the original screen or additional screens, adding a spatial dimension to resolve the prominence-continuity conflict.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Ease of operation

If the display type of the transferred interface is adjusted based on task information, then user experience is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary analysis of task information before the interface transfer is executed. By pre-determining the appropriate display type based on the nature of the task being transferred and the current state of the target screen, the system automates the decision-making process, reducing the perceived complexity for users while maintaining sophisticated display management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the display type of the transferred interface is dynamically adjusted based on real-time analysis of task information and screen state. This closed-loop approach allows the system to automatically optimize user experience without requiring manual intervention, managing complexity through intelligent automation rather than simplification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

This application provides a control method and an electronic device. In this application, when receiving an operation performed by the user for interface transfer, an electronic device like an in-vehicle terminal determines, by analyzing a specific intention of the operation, whether to perform cross-screen transfer or one-screen transfer, to provide a better intelligent interface display service for the user. For example, when it is determined that the intention is to perform the cross-screen transfer, based on an actual display situation before transfer of a first interface and/or an interface display situation on a second screen, an interface transferred from an original screen may be displayed on a target screen in an appropriate display type after the transfer.
