Looper Screen Shortcut Items for Music Pattern Reproduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic devices face challenges in efficiently controlling display screens for various touch operations, leading to low use efficiency and user convenience due to limited interaction capabilities.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a display unit, audio processor, and processor that displays a looper screen with loop items, allows selection of shortcut items to reproduce associated music patterns and apply audio effects, enhancing user interaction and music composition capabilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the electronic device provides basic touch operation control, then the device structure remains simple, but the user interaction capability and use efficiency are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is designed to serve multiple functions: it acts as both a visual output device and a tactile input device. By integrating touch-sensitive capabilities with the display, the screen can detect various touch operations (single touch, multi-touch, sliding, pinching) while still providing visual feedback, thereby enhancing user interaction without adding separate dedicated input devices
Solution Approach 2:
The display screen performs self-detection and self-response functions. When a touch operation is detected on the screen, the system automatically generates corresponding control signals and executes appropriate actions (such as opening applications, adjusting settings, or playing music patterns) without requiring external control mechanisms, thereby improving interaction efficiency while maintaining system simplicity
2Adaptability or versatility
If the electronic device displays multiple loop items and shortcut items on the looper screen, then the music composition functionality is enhanced, but the interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The looper screen interface is segmented into distinct functional zones: loop items are displayed in a first region with each item representing a specific music pattern, while shortcut items are displayed in a second region for quick access to frequently used functions. This spatial segmentation allows users to independently control and access different music composition features without overwhelming the interface
Solution Approach 2:
Shortcut items are pre-configured with commonly used music composition functions and effects. When users need to apply effects or modify patterns, they can directly select from the pre-prepared shortcut items rather than navigating through multiple menus or settings, thereby enhancing music composition efficiency while keeping the interface straightforward
3Productivity
If the electronic device requires detailed selection of each loop item for music reproduction, then the control precision is high, but the operation time and user convenience decrease
Solution Approach 1:
Shortcut items create simplified copies or representations of complex music pattern selections. Instead of requiring users to navigate through detailed parameters and settings for each loop item, the shortcut items provide direct access to pre-configured music patterns and effects, enabling quick reproduction of music while maintaining the ability to access detailed controls when needed

AI summary
A method for use in an electronic device, comprising: displaying a looper screen including a plurality of loop items; displaying, on the looper screen, a first shortcut item that is associated with one or more of the loop items; and reproducing a first music pattern associated with one or more loop items in response to a first selection of the first shortcut item.
