Mobile Device Lock Screen Information Display Timing Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Providing information through a mobile device's lock screen can be inconvenient for users as it interrupts their normal usage patterns by displaying information every time the device is activated.
Innovation Solution
A method that outputs an information providing screen only upon the first activation input within a predetermined time range, allowing users to receive relevant information without disturbing their device usage and then returning to the normal standby or lock screen.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If information is provided every time the mobile device is activated through the lock screen, then information delivery efficiency is improved, but user convenience deteriorates due to frequent interruptions
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts information display behavior based on activation patterns. When multiple activations occur within a predetermined time range, the system selectively provides information only on the first activation, adapting the information delivery mechanism to user behavior patterns rather than using a static always-on approach
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the display parameter (information provision state) based on the activation count within a time range. By tracking whether it's the first activation versus subsequent activations, the system modifies its behavior to balance information delivery with user convenience, providing information only when appropriate
2Loss of information
If information is provided on every activation, then information providers achieve better information dissemination, but the frequency of interruptions to users increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of providing information on every activation (excessive action), the system provides information only on the first activation within a time range (partial action). This selective approach maintains effective information dissemination while reducing unnecessary interruptions to user experience
Data Source
AI summary
Provided is a method of providing information through a mobile device, in which an information providing screen is outputted only during the first activation performed within a predetermined time range designated by a user. Therefore, inconvenience resulting from repetitive outputs of the information providing screen can be resolved.
