Mobile File Display Window Auto-Scrolling Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of mobile communication devices often encounter issues with viewing files, such as web pages, that are not optimized for the screen size, requiring them to frequently move the display window from the rightmost to the leftmost side to read subsequent lines, which can be inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus comprising a duplicating module that duplicates the leftmost part of the file and places it on the right of the rightmost side, a displaying module that moves the display window along a frame containing the file and the duplicated part, and a movement control module that automatically moves the window back to the leftmost side when reaching the rightmost edge, allowing continuous viewing without user intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the file is displayed on a mobile communication device screen, then the file content is visible, but the user has to manually move the display window from rightmost to leftmost side frequently to read subsequent lines
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual copy of the file content that extends beyond the physical screen boundaries. When the display window reaches the rightmost edge, it automatically jumps to the leftmost edge of the virtual file, simulating continuous horizontal scrolling without requiring manual user intervention. This copying approach allows the file to appear infinitely scrollable while actually reusing the same content space.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a virtual dimension that extends the file display space beyond the physical screen constraints. By creating a virtual coordinate system where the file can extend horizontally beyond screen width, the system allows seamless transitions from rightmost to leftmost positions without breaking the visual flow, effectively adding a dimensional layer to the display system.
2Area of stationary object
If the file is wider than the screen, then more content is visible at once, but the user experience is degraded due to frequent manual navigation
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements automatic window repositioning that detects when the display window reaches the rightmost edge and autonomously jumps it back to the leftmost edge. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for users to manually press left/right keys or drag sliders, allowing the system to serve itself in maintaining optimal reading position without user intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent ensures continuous reading flow by seamlessly connecting the rightmost edge of the file with the leftmost edge, creating an uninterrupted visual experience. The automatic window transition maintains the reading momentum without breaks, allowing users to consume content continuously as if the file were infinitely long, thereby preserving the continuity of the useful reading action.

AI summary
A device, method and system of displaying a file on a mobile communication device may comprise duplicating at least a leftmost part of a file to obtain a duplicated leftmost part of the file, and displaying a frame through moving a display window along the frame, the frame comprising a rightmost part of the file and the duplicated leftmost part of the file, wherein the duplicated leftmost part of the file is placed on right of the rightmost part of the file. In some embodiments, the mobile communication device may control the display window to automatically move to a leftmost side of the frame, if the display window moves to a rightmost side of the frame, and further in response to a user instruction of continuing viewing the file.
