Mapped Secondary Interface for Large Screen Reachability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Large screen electronic devices pose challenges in user interaction due to the extensive size, making it inconvenient for users to perform gestures across the entire screen, especially in multi-user interactions where traditional methods like walking or using multiple mice are inefficient.
Innovation Solution
An operation processing method and device that displays a secondary interactive interface of varying size, mapped to the primary interface, allowing users to execute actions on the primary interface by interacting with the secondary interface, which can be positioned closer to the user for easier access.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the screen size is increased to provide a large screen electronic apparatus, then the display area and visual effect are improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates because the user cannot reach throughout the entire screen
Solution Approach 1:
The screen is divided into a first interaction region (where the user is located) and a second interaction region (farther from the user). The system displays a first interface in the first region and a second interface in the second region, allowing users to interact with different regions independently based on their position, thus solving the reachability problem while maintaining large screen advantages.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mapping relationship between the first interface and the second interface. When the user performs a gesture in the first interaction region, the system translates this gesture to operate on the corresponding position in the second interaction region, enabling indirect control of distant screen areas without requiring physical reach.
2Ease of operation
If multiple mice are provided for multiple users to operate simultaneously, then the ease of operation for each user is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal interaction system where a single display screen can serve multiple users simultaneously by dividing it into multiple interaction regions. Each user operates within their designated region (first or second interaction region) using the same device, eliminating the need for multiple separate input devices while maintaining individualized control experiences.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a spatial dimension to user interaction by creating distinct interaction regions (first and second regions) at different locations on the screen. This spatial differentiation allows multiple users to interact simultaneously without interference, effectively multiplying the device's user capacity without adding physical input devices.
3Ease of operation
If the user walks near the location of the target to operate it, then the ease of operation is improved, but the loss of time increases due to ceaseless movement between locations
Solution Approach 1:
The screen is segmented into multiple interaction regions accessible from different user positions. Users can remain stationary in their preferred location and interact with targets in their corresponding interaction region, or use cross-region gestures to access targets in other regions, eliminating the need for physical movement while maintaining operational ease.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical solution of physical movement with a digital/gesture-based solution. Instead of requiring users to physically walk to different screen locations, the system uses gesture recognition and coordinate mapping to translate user actions from one interaction region to another, substituting mechanical displacement with information processing.

AI summary
An operation processing method and an operation processing device applied in an electronic apparatus include a display unit in which a first interactive interface having a first size is displayed. The method includes displaying a second interactive interface having a second size which is different from the first size and having a mapping relation with the first interactive interface in the display unit, detecting a first action executed by the user in the second interactive interface; and executing a first operation in the first interactive interface according to the first action. Thus, the first interactive interface can be mapped into the second interactive interface and the first operation that the user expects to execute in the first interactive interface can be implemented by the first action executed in the second interactive interface, so that the user can conveniently operate the electronic apparatus.
