Electronic Device Interface Display State Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for adjusting the display state of application interfaces on electronic devices, such as switching to full screen or icon display, are either user-unfriendly, aesthetically poor, or inefficiently utilize the display area.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for an electronic device to adjust the interface display state by determining attribute information during a zooming operation and adjusting the display state when preset conditions are met, allowing seamless transitions between full screen and icon displays without affecting the effective display area.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional methods (pulling bottom bar or clicking top button) are used to switch to full screen, then the display state can be adjusted, but the user operation becomes complex and the interface aesthetics deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects when the display interface touches the bottom edge of the display screen during zooming operation, and autonomously switches to full screen mode without requiring user intervention through buttons or bars. This eliminates the need for complex manual operations while maintaining simple user interaction.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical interaction system (physical buttons, pull bars) with an automated edge-detection system that uses display coordinate monitoring to trigger full screen mode. This substitution eliminates the need for visible control elements and simplifies user interaction to natural touch gestures.
2Area of stationary object
If traditional full screen switching methods are used, then display state adjustment is achieved, but the effective display area is reduced due to buttons and bars
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the bottom transverse bar and top full screen button from the interface, extracting the full screen switching function from the visual display. The full screen mode is triggered solely by touch position detection at the bottom edge, eliminating the need for visible control elements that would reduce effective display area.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides full screen switching as a self-service feature that automatically activates when the user touches the bottom edge during zooming, eliminating the need for separate control buttons or bars that would occupy display space and reduce effective area.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple control elements (bottom bar, top button) are added for full screen switching, then functionality is improved, but the interface aesthetics deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the full screen switching functionality from the visual interface by removing the bottom transverse bar and top full screen button. The function remains accessible through touch position detection at the bottom edge, maintaining adaptability while eliminating visual clutter that degrades aesthetics.
Solution Approach 2:
The bottom edge of the display screen serves as an intermediary trigger zone that mediates between user intent and full screen mode activation. This eliminates the need for separate control elements, maintaining interface cleanliness and aesthetics while preserving functional adaptability.

AI summary
Disclosed are a method for adjusting an interface display state, and an electronic device. The method is performed by an electronic device with a display screen, and the method includes: in response to a zooming operation for a display interface of a target application, determining attribute information of the display interface during the zooming operation; and in response to the end of the zooming operation, adjusting a display state of the display interface when the attribute information satisfies a pre-set condition.
