Location Sharing Layer Background Display for Session Screen
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current instant messaging clients consume many resources and reduce efficiency when users need to continuously switch between location sharing and session screens, making it cumbersome to view real-time geographical locations and chat simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
A screen display method where the location sharing layer is displayed as a background layer on the session screen, allowing users to view geographical locations and chat messages simultaneously without needing to switch screens, by generating a location sharing layer and setting it as a background display layer with a message display layer on top.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the terminal switches between location sharing screen and session screen back and forth, then the user can view real-time geographical locations and chat messages, but the terminal consumes many resources and the user needs to perform continuous switching operations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the location sharing screen and session screen into a single integrated screen by displaying the location sharing screen as a background layer and the session screen as a foreground layer. This allows both location information and chat messages to be viewed simultaneously without requiring screen switching, thereby reducing terminal resource consumption and improving user operation efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a single-screen display to a multi-layered display structure by introducing background and foreground layers. The location sharing screen is displayed as a background layer while the session screen is displayed as a foreground layer, enabling simultaneous visualization of both functions in different spatial dimensions of the display.
2Loss of information
If the terminal displays only one screen at a time, then the display structure is simple, but the user cannot view location and chat information simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a multi-layered display structure with background and foreground layers, allowing both location sharing information and session chat information to be displayed simultaneously in different layers. This resolves the contradiction by providing full information accessibility while maintaining a relatively simple display implementation through layer stacking.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the display into distinct functional layers: a background layer for location sharing information and a foreground layer for session chat information. This segmentation allows each layer to independently display its designated information type, enabling simultaneous viewing without complex integration.
3Productivity
If the user exits the location sharing screen to continue chatting, then the session screen can be fully accessed, but the location sharing function is interrupted and user efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the location sharing function and instant messaging function into a single integrated interface, allowing users to perform both activities simultaneously without exiting one screen to access the other. This eliminates the time loss associated with screen switching and continuously maintains instant chatting efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables continuous simultaneous execution of location sharing and instant messaging activities by displaying both functions concurrently in layered screens. This eliminates interruptions and ensures the continuity of useful actions, allowing users to chat efficiently while continuously monitoring location information.
Data Source
AI summary
A screen display method, an apparatus, a terminal, and a storage medium are provided. The method includes: receiving, by a terminal, an enabling instruction for activating a location sharing function; and generating, by the terminal, a location sharing layer according to the enabling instruction. The location sharing layer is used for sharing and displaying, on a map, a geographical location of at least one user in a dialogue session. The method also includes displaying, by the terminal, the location sharing layer as a background display layer of a session screen corresponding to the dialogue session. The session screen includes a message display layer and the background display layer, the message display layer being located above the background display layer, and the message display layer being used for displaying a session message between a local user of the terminal and a remote user participated in the dialogue session.
