Lock Screen Survey Interface Using Gesture Events
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional surveys are time-consuming and costly, and it is difficult for individuals to investigate opinions of people across national borders efficiently.
Innovation Solution
A user interface method that utilizes a mobile device's lock screen to display survey content on a split screen, allowing users to participate in surveys by generating gesture events, with cumulative results displayed before switching to the main screen mode, and answer data transmitted to a service server for real-time accumulation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional survey methods are used, then survey results can be obtained, but it requires a lot of time and cost
Solution Approach 1:
The survey system utilizes the smartphone lock screen interface that users already interact with daily, eliminating the need for separate survey participation actions. Users naturally provide survey responses through their normal unlocking behavior, making the survey process self-service and integrated into existing user routines.
Solution Approach 2:
The lock screen interface serves multiple functions: it provides security authentication, displays survey questions and answers, collects survey data, and maintains user engagement. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate survey applications and reduces overall survey time and cost.
2Reliability
If conventional survey methods are used, then survey results can be obtained, but it requires high cost
Solution Approach 1:
The system leverages the existing smartphone lock screen interface and user authentication mechanisms that are already paid for by users, eliminating the need for additional survey-specific infrastructure. This self-service approach significantly reduces survey costs while maintaining data collection reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The survey interface is overlaid on the existing lock screen visual interface, copying and reusing the familiar visual patterns and interaction modes that users already understand. This approach avoids the cost of creating new user interfaces and training materials while maintaining high user engagement and data collection efficiency.
3Adaptability or versatility
If conventional survey methods are used, then survey results can be obtained, but it is difficult to investigate opinions of people across national borders
Solution Approach 1:
The survey system operates universally across different countries and cultures by utilizing the standardized smartphone lock screen interface that is consistent across all devices. The same interface design and interaction patterns work globally, eliminating the need for localization of the core survey mechanism while adapting to different languages and cultures through the existing OS framework.
4Reliability
If survey participation requires complex procedures, then survey results can be obtained, but respondents find it difficult to participate
Solution Approach 1:
The survey automatically utilizes the lock screen unlocking action that users already perform daily to provide survey responses. Users do not need to take separate actions to participate in the survey - their normal unlocking behavior automatically provides the survey data, making participation as easy as unlocking the phone.
Solution Approach 2:
The survey interface and questions are pre-loaded onto the lock screen before users need to respond. The system prepares the survey content in advance during device initialization or previous interactions, so that when users unlock their phones, the survey is already ready to be answered immediately without any additional setup or preparation steps.

AI summary
The present invention provides a user interface method capable of survey, when a lock screen mode is switched to a main screen mode in a mobile device in which an unlock mobile application software capable of survey is installed, including a step of entering the main screen mode, when an input means of the mobile device generates a gesture event corresponding to a directional pattern on a second split screen, wherein the lock screen mode includes a first split screen and a second split screen separately divided from the first split screen, survey content is displayed on the first split screen, and two or more answer screens, each of which includes answer content matched with the survey content, and the directional pattern corresponding to the answer screens is defined and visualized on the second split screen.
