Non-overlapping Mobile Navigation Interface with Perspective Map
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional navigational graphical user interfaces on mobile devices are cumbersome and difficult to view, lacking an intuitive interface for inputting and viewing information, especially on small screens, which hinders user interaction and feature utilization.
Innovation Solution
A graphical user interface is designed with two non-overlapping areas on a mobile device, one for displaying selectable objects and another for a map in perspective view, allowing users to interact with objects and switch between 2D and 3D map views efficiently, thereby optimizing screen usage and reducing power consumption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional navigational graphical user interfaces are used on mobile devices, then basic navigation functionality is provided, but the interface becomes cumbersome and difficult to view on small screens
Solution Approach 1:
The graphical user interface is divided into multiple non-overlapping areas: a first area for displaying selectable objects and a second area for displaying the map in perspective view. This segmentation allows each area to serve its specific function independently, improving ease of operation by reducing interface complexity and making the interface more intuitive for users on small screens.
2Area of stationary object
If the graphical user interface displays all information on a single screen, then complete information is available, but the screen space is insufficient for detailed views on small devices
Solution Approach 1:
The interface transitions from a traditional two-dimensional layout to a multi-dimensional arrangement by displaying the map in a perspective view (three-dimensional representation) in the second area while maintaining selectable objects in the first area. This dimensional change allows both detailed map views and object selections to coexist on the same screen without overlapping, effectively utilizing screen space while preserving information completeness.
3Adaptability or versatility
If complex menu navigation is used to access navigation features, then comprehensive functionality is achieved, but user interaction becomes more difficult and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The graphical user interface integrates multiple navigation functions directly into the main display areas without requiring separate menu navigation. The first area displays selectable objects that can be directly interacted with, and the second area provides map viewing capabilities, allowing users to access comprehensive navigation features through direct interaction rather than navigating through multiple menus, thus reducing interaction time while maintaining feature availability.

AI summary
An approach is provided for presenting a graphical user interface on a mobile device according to a navigational application. A presentation is initiated of a graphical user interface on a mobile device according to a navigational application. The graphical user interface includes a first area displaying one or more selectable objects. The graphical user interface also includes a second area displaying a map in perspective view that preserves a predetermined form. The first area and the second area are non-overlapping.
