Solution Overview

Problem

Existing desktop management systems for mobile devices lack personalization, requiring users to manually adjust application layouts frequently, as they cannot effectively cater to individual user interests, resulting in cumbersome and repetitive layout operations.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that analyze user interest features based on predefined management rules to generate optimized desktop application arrangement information, allowing mobile terminals to automatically arrange application icons according to user preferences, thereby enriching the desktop icon display effect and reducing manual layout adjustments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If automatic classification is used to arrange APPs on desktop, then arrangement efficiency is improved, but personalization and display effects deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvearrangement efficiencyVSAvoidpersonalization
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the desktop arrangement process into two distinct phases: automatic classification for initial organization and manual adjustment for personalization. This segmentation allows the system to benefit from both automatic efficiency and manual customization, resolving the contradiction between arrangement efficiency and personalization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a dynamic arrangement system where the desktop layout can transition from automatic classification to manual adjustment and back again. The system dynamically adapts to user needs by allowing users to modify automatically arranged icons while maintaining the underlying classification structure, thus achieving both efficiency and personalization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If manual adjustment is allowed for desktop layout, then personalization is improved, but operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovepersonalizationVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing automatic classification of APPs before presenting them to users. This preliminary organization reduces the complexity of manual adjustment by providing a pre-structured layout that users can easily modify, rather than requiring users to organize everything from scratch.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-service through automatic classification and organization of APPs based on their attributes. This self-service capability handles the complex classification logic automatically, freeing users from dealing with complexity while still allowing them to make simple personalization adjustments when desired.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Speed

If simple classification is used for APPs, then arrangement speed is improved, but display effects and user satisfaction deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvearrangement speedVSAvoiddisplay effects
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic arrangement system where the desktop layout can transition from automatic classification for speed to manual adjustment for display effects. The system dynamically adapts to user needs by allowing modifications to automatically arranged icons, thus achieving both speed and visual appeal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary automatic classification to achieve fast arrangement, then allows subsequent manual adjustments to enhance display effects. This preliminary action provides a fast initial layout that serves as a foundation for further customization without sacrificing visual quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
