Solution Overview

Problem

Existing interface displaying methods result in abnormal displays due to fixed lengths and widths of application interfaces, leading to incomplete or overlapping elements when transferred between screens with different dimensions.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that create a virtual display, establish a mapping relationship, and adjust the application container to fit within the dimensions of the target display screen, ensuring the interface elements are fully displayed without overlap.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the application interface is pushed to another screen with fixed length and width, then the interface can be displayed on a different screen, but the interface elements may not be fully displayed or may overlap with each other

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay compatibilityVSAvoidinterface element display accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the application container's size adjustable rather than fixed. The container dynamically changes its width and height based on the target display screen's dimensions, allowing the interface to adapt to different screen sizes while maintaining proper element display without overlap or truncation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameters of the application container by adjusting its width and height according to the target display screen's characteristics. This parameter adjustment ensures that the interface elements are properly scaled and positioned, preventing display abnormalities when pushing interfaces between screens with different dimensions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If the application container size is adjusted to fit the target screen, then the interface elements are fully displayed without overlap, but the container dimensions must be calculated and modified

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface element display accuracyVSAvoidcontainer size adjustment mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a virtual display as an intermediary between the source display screen and the target display screen. The virtual display serves as a buffer that receives the application interface from the first screen and then maps it to the second screen with appropriate size adjustments, simplifying the overall complexity by providing a standardized intermediate representation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-calculating the appropriate container size based on the target display screen's dimensions before actually displaying the interface. This advance sizing preparation ensures that when the interface is pushed, the container is already configured with the correct dimensions, avoiding the need for complex real-time adjustments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Embodiments of the present application provide an interface display method and apparatus, a terminal device, and a storage medium. The interface display method comprises: after detecting a first touch operation on an application interface displayed on a first display screen, creating a virtual display screen; establishing the mapping relationship between the virtual display screen and a second display screen, the mapping relationship being used for mapping the content of the virtual display screen to the second display screen; moving an application container where the application interface is located from the first display screen to the virtual display screen; and adjusting the application container, such that the length of the adjusted application container is less than or equal to the length of the second display screen, and the width of the adjusted application container is less than or equal to the width of the second display screen.
