Lock Screen Editing Interface Segmentation and Layering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in performing personalized editing of the lock screen interface due to obscured or insufficiently sized editing areas, leading to a poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for editing a lock screen interface that detects editing operations and displays a first page on a top layer with content options, allowing users to edit content based on selected options, ensuring that editing is not obscured and is easily accessible.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the lock screen interface is displayed with all content elements, then the information completeness is improved, but the editing area becomes obscured or insufficiently sized
Solution Approach 1:
The interface is segmented into multiple layers: the lock screen interface layer and the editing interface layer. The editing interface is further segmented into a first page displaying content options and a second page displaying detailed editing options. This segmentation allows different functional areas to be displayed independently without obscuring each other, resolving the contradiction between information completeness and editing area accessibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The editing interface is displayed in a pop-up window dimension, overlaying the lock screen interface without replacing it. This dimensional approach allows both the lock screen content and editing content to coexist visually, ensuring that the editing area remains accessible while the lock screen information remains visible in the background.
2Ease of operation
If the editing interface is displayed prominently, then the editing accessibility is improved, but the lock screen content becomes obscured
Solution Approach 1:
The interface is divided into distinct functional segments: the lock screen interface segment and the editing interface segment. The editing interface is further divided into a first page showing content options and a second page showing detailed options. This segmentation enables the editing functionality to be accessed prominently through pop-up windows while the lock screen content remains visible in the background, resolving the contradiction between editing accessibility and lock screen content visibility.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the display are assigned different functional qualities: the lock screen interface occupies the background layer for information display, while the editing interface occupies the foreground pop-up window layer for interaction. This local quality differentiation allows each region to serve its primary function without interfering with the other, maintaining both lock screen visibility and editing accessibility.
3Device complexity
If multiple editing options are displayed on a single page, then the interface compactness is improved, but the ease of selecting specific editing content deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The editing interface is segmented into a two-page structure: the first page displays content options (such as wallpaper, clock, greeting) in a compact manner, while the second page displays detailed editing options for the selected content. This segmentation maintains interface compactness at the overview level while providing clear, focused content selection on the detailed page, resolving the contradiction between interface compactness and content selection clarity.
Solution Approach 2:
The editing interface dynamically transitions between the first page and second page based on user selection. When a user selects a content option on the first page, the system dynamically loads the corresponding detailed editing options on the second page. This dynamic behavior allows the interface to remain compact at the overview level while providing comprehensive editing options when needed, resolving the contradiction between interface compactness and content selection clarity.

AI summary
A method for editing a lock screen interface includes: in response to detecting an editing operation to edit the lock screen interface, displaying a first page on a top layer based on a content to be edited corresponding to the editing operation, wherein at least one content option for editing the content to be edited is displayed on the first page; and editing the content to be edited based on selection of a content option from the at least one content option on the first page.
