Application Interface Display Adaptation for Flexible Layouts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current interface display modes lack flexibility, limiting user interaction and application functionality.
Innovation Solution
An interface display method that allows a first interface of an application to be displayed in two areas on a device's screen, with the ability to adjust the size and layout of these areas in response to user operations, such as gestures or control triggers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single area is used to display an application interface, then the display layout is simple, but the flexibility and adaptability of the interface are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The display area is divided into multiple independent areas (first area and second area), each capable of displaying different interfaces or different parts of the same interface. This segmentation allows the system to achieve flexible layout configurations by combining and arranging these separate display areas in different ways, thereby improving interface display flexibility without requiring a completely complex display system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic switching between different display modes (single area mode and multi-area mode). The system can transition from displaying an interface in a single area to displaying the same or different interfaces in multiple areas based on user operations or system state, providing adaptability while maintaining simplicity when the extended mode is not needed.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display area is fixed, then the device structure is simple, but the interface cannot adapt to different screen sizes and user preferences
Solution Approach 1:
Each display area is designed to be universally capable of displaying application interfaces. The first area and second area can both independently display interfaces, and their sizes and positions can be adjusted. This multi-functional design allows the display system to adapt to different screen sizes and user preferences without requiring hardware modifications, achieving versatility through software-controlled display management.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple areas are used to display interfaces, then the flexibility and functionality are improved, but the display layout becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a hierarchical display structure where multiple display areas can be nested or overlaid. The first area and second area can be positioned such that one is partially or fully contained within the other, or they can be arranged side-by-side. This nesting approach allows flexible functionality through layered display configurations while managing layout complexity through a structured hierarchical organization of display areas.

AI summary
An interface display method is applicable to an electronic device, and the electronic device includes a display screen. The method includes: displaying a first interface of an application on a display screen; and displaying a first area and a second area, and displaying the first interface in the first area and the second area, in response to detecting a preset operation, during the process of displaying the first interface, where both of the first area and the second area are configured to display an interface of the application. An electronic device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are further provided.
