Mobile Terminal Scrolling With Positive Acceleration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile communication terminals have limited display space, making it inconvenient for users to scroll through large amounts of information.
Innovation Solution
A method and corresponding mobile communication terminal that allows users to rapidly scroll through information displayed on the terminal by generating a scrolling start signal and scrolling the information with positive acceleration, and terminating the scrolling with negative acceleration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If the display unit shows large amounts of information, then the user can access more data, but the display space becomes insufficient and scrolling becomes cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The information is divided into multiple pages that can be scrolled through sequentially. The display unit shows only a portion of the total information at a time, with navigation controls allowing users to move between pages. This segmentation enables large amounts of information to be managed within limited display space.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a temporal dimension to information display through scrolling. Instead of trying to display all information simultaneously in the spatial dimension, the system allows users to navigate through information over time by scrolling through sequential pages, effectively adding a time-based dimension to data access.
2Productivity
If the user scrolls through information manually, then the terminal structure remains simple, but the scrolling speed is slow and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The scrolling mechanism transitions from static manual scrolling to dynamic automated scrolling. The control unit can automatically scroll through pages based on user inputs such as touch gestures, button presses, or voice commands, enabling variable scrolling speeds and reducing the mechanical complexity of manual interaction.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service scrolling by automatically navigating through information pages based on detected user intentions. For example, when a user touches the display or presses a button, the control unit autonomously initiates and executes the scrolling action without requiring manual physical manipulation of scroll mechanisms.
