Mobile Terminal Spatial Device Map for Short-Range Communication

The patent transforms the traditional two-dimensional list view of devices into a three-dimensional spatial map view. Device icons are positioned on a map according to their actual physical locations, allowing users to intuitively understand device spatial relationships. This dimensional transformation resolves the contradiction by preserving spatial location information while improving ease of operation through visual intuitiveness.

The patent creates a virtual copy of the physical device environment by generating a device map that replicates the spatial arrangement of actual devices. This virtual map copy allows users to interact with device representations that accurately reflect their real-world positions, thereby maintaining spatial information while enhancing user convenience through graphical interaction.

The patent implements local quality by displaying different types of information at different levels of user interaction. The device map shows concise device icons with basic information for overview, while detailed device information becomes available only when users select specific devices or access context menus. This resolves the contradiction by providing necessary communication accuracy information without creating overall interface complexity.

The patent segments device information display into multiple hierarchical levels: the device map provides a high-level overview with simplified device representations, while detailed device parameters and communication options are segmented into separate context menus or detail views. This segmentation allows the main interface to remain simple while still providing comprehensive information when needed, resolving the contradiction between communication accuracy and interface complexity.
