Mobile Terminal Interface Style Matching External Device
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile terminals cannot automatically adjust their interface style to match the appearance of external devices, requiring users to manually set the interface, which is tedious and affects user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that allow a mobile terminal to automatically acquire the pattern and/or color of an external device, either by detecting a preset resistor or reading module parameters, and adjust its interface style to match, using an acquiring unit and an adjusting unit to synchronize the display with the external device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If manual setting of interface style is used, then interface style can be customized, but user operation becomes tedious and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects the external device's appearance characteristics and self-adjusts the interface style without requiring manual user input. The mobile terminal acquires pattern and color information of the external device automatically, and the control unit adjusts the interface style based on this information, making the system serve itself rather than requiring user intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback loop where the mobile terminal detects the external device's appearance, processes this information, and adjusts the interface style accordingly. The detection unit continuously monitors the external device, and the control unit responds by modifying the interface style to match the detected characteristics, creating a closed-loop adaptive system.
2Extent of automation
If automatic detection of external device appearance is implemented, then interface style matching is automated, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a detection unit as an intermediary component that bridges the mobile terminal and the external device. This detection unit automatically acquires appearance information (pattern and color) of the external device without requiring complex user interactions or sophisticated processing systems. The intermediary simplifies the automation process by handling the detection task in a dedicated, streamlined manner.

AI summary
A method and apparatus for controlling display of an interface in a mobile terminal are provided. The mobile terminal is communicatively connected to an external device. The method comprises: acquiring a pattern and/or a colour of the external device; and according to the pattern and/or the colour and the style categories of the display interface pre-stored in the mobile terminal, adjusting the current display style of the display interface, so as to enable the display style to match the pattern and/or the colour of the external device. In the display control method, the mobile terminal can adjust the display style of the display interface thereof according to the acquired pattern and/or colour of the external device, so as to enable the display style to match the pattern and/or the colour of the external device.
