Interface Segmentation for Non-Blocking Voice Assistant Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic device interfaces are disrupted by applications like voice assistants or global searches, which float on top of the original interface, impairing user interaction and providing a poor visual experience.
Innovation Solution
The electronic device moves or scales down the original interface to reserve space for a secondary application interface, allowing simultaneous display without overlap, enabling interaction with both interfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If the application interface floats on the original interface, then the application can be accessed quickly, but the original interface is blocked and user interaction is affected
Solution Approach 1:
The screen is divided into two non-overlapping display areas: a first area for the original interface and a second area for the application interface. This segmentation allows both interfaces to be displayed simultaneously without blocking each other, enabling users to interact with both the original interface and the application interface efficiently.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the application interface floats on the original interface, then the application can be overlaid for quick access, but the visual experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of overlaying the application interface on top of the original interface in the same spatial dimension, the system transitions to a two-area layout where the original interface is moved to a first area and the application interface is displayed in a second area. This dimensional reorganization eliminates visual blocking while maintaining the ability to access both interfaces simultaneously, thereby improving the overall visual experience.

AI summary
An interface display method and a device are described. An original interface may be moved to reserve space for displaying an interface of a first application such as a voice assistant, so that the interface of the first application does not block the original interface. This helps a user interact with the original interface and the interface of the first application. For example, an electronic device displays a first interface. The electronic device detects an operation in which the user indicates to start a first application. The electronic device displays the first interface in a first area of a screen, and displays a second interface in a second area of the screen. The second interface is an interface of the first application, and the first area does not overlap the second area.
