Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Mobile terminals lack an engaging and efficient method for transitioning from lock mode to active mode, with existing solutions being cumbersome and lacking visual feedback.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for displaying a lock mode screen with a bouncing animation triggered by user input, where the lock mode screen moves relative to the edge of the display module a set number of times before stabilizing, providing a visually engaging and intuitive transition.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a traditional lock mode transition is used, then the system is simple and energy-efficient, but the user experience is boring and lacks visual feedback

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesimplicity of transition mechanismVSAvoiduser experience quality

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of manufactureVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The lock mode screen transitions from a static display to a dynamic bouncing animation when the device wakes from lock mode. The controller causes the display module to show the lock mode screen bouncing up and down for a predetermined number of times, creating an engaging visual effect that enhances user experience without requiring complex hardware changes

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The bouncing animation employs periodic motion where the lock mode screen repeatedly moves up and down at regular intervals. This periodic visual feedback provides satisfying user interaction while maintaining system simplicity, as the animation follows a predetermined pattern controlled by the existing processor and display module

Inventive Principle:

Principle #19Periodic action

2Ease of operation

If a bouncing animation is added to the lock mode screen, then user experience is enhanced with visual feedback, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser experience qualityVSAvoidenergy consumption of display module

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The bouncing animation is implemented as a limited-duration effect that occurs only when the device transitions from lock mode to active mode. The lock mode screen bounces for a predetermined number of times rather than continuously, providing visual feedback only when needed. This partial application of the animation effect enhances user experience during critical transitions while avoiding excessive energy consumption during normal operation

Inventive Principle:

Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Ease of operation

If the lock mode screen bounces for many times, then visual engagement is improved, but the transition duration becomes too long

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvevisual engagementVSAvoidtransition duration

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The bouncing animation parameters (number of bounces, bounce amplitude, bounce speed) are carefully controlled to achieve optimal visual engagement within an acceptable time frame. The controller is configured to bounce the lock mode screen a predetermined number of times, balancing visual appeal with transition efficiency. This parameter optimization ensures the animation is engaging without causing excessive delay in accessing the active mode
