Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If materials are stored in different applications, then storage capacity is increased, but material location difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The first application is designed to serve multiple functions: it not only stores materials but also provides unified preview and management capabilities for all materials regardless of their source application. This multi-functional design allows users to access and manage materials from different applications through a single interface, resolving the contradiction between distributed storage and centralized access.
Solution Approach 2:
The first application acts as an intermediary layer between users and materials stored in different applications. It provides a unified interface that mediates access to scattered materials, allowing users to preview and manage materials without needing to navigate through multiple application interfaces, thus solving the material location difficulty while preserving distributed storage benefits.
2Adaptability or versatility
If materials are scattered across different applications, then storage flexibility is improved, but user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The first application provides universal access to materials from different sources through a unified interface. Users can preview images, videos, and audios regardless of which application originally stored them, maintaining storage flexibility while significantly improving ease of operation by eliminating the need to switch between applications.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the material management functionality of multiple applications into a single unified interface within the first application. By combining preview and management capabilities for materials from different sources into one interface, it preserves the flexibility of distributed storage while improving user experience through consistent and simplified access.
3Speed
If unified preview interface is implemented, then material location speed is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The unified preview interface is implemented as a separate functional module within the first application, distinct from the material storage functions in other applications. This segmentation allows the preview functionality to be independently optimized for speed while maintaining a clean, standardized interface that does not significantly increase overall device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
By implementing a universal preview interface that handles multiple material types and sources through a single standardized mechanism, the patent improves material location speed without proportionally increasing complexity. The interface uses consistent interaction patterns regardless of material source, avoiding the need for multiple specialized interfaces.

AI summary
A display method includes displaying, by a terminal device, a second interface, the second interface including: an icon of a first material and an icon of a second material, the first material being an audio, and the second material being an image, an audio, or a video; receiving, by the terminal device, a second operation on the second interface; displaying, by the terminal device, a first icon in the second interface in response to the second operation; receiving, by the terminal device, a third operation on the first icon; and displaying, by the terminal device, a third interface in response to the third operation, the third interface including: the first material and the second material.
