Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inefficiencies in searching for desired data on mobile terminals with touch screens due to the need to manually scroll through extensive lists, leading to increased time and inconvenience.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal with a data display method that detects input events and terminal motions to rearrange tags, allowing for quicker access to data through motion sensing and control units that group and display data based on input events and motion variations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If data is displayed in a list form on a mobile terminal with touch screen, then the user can view desired data using a scroll bar or keypad input, but the user has to spend a long period of time to search for a desired data item in proportion to the amount of data stored
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the data display into multiple pages with thumbnail previews rather than a single exhaustive list. Each page displays a subset of data items in a grid layout with visual thumbnails, allowing users to scan multiple items simultaneously without scrolling through a long linear list. This segmentation reduces the time to locate desired data by enabling parallel viewing of multiple items.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs temporary visual markers such as highlight overlays and selection indicators that appear briefly during user interaction. These visual cues dynamically highlight potential matches or selected items during the search process, providing transient but effective guidance without requiring permanent interface changes. This approach enables rapid visual scanning and item identification.
2Measurement precision
If the user checks items of a list displayed on the mobile terminal one at a time to find the desired data item, then the user can examine each item in detail, but the user may be inconvenienced by having to check items sequentially
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a one-dimensional sequential list view to a two-dimensional grid layout where multiple data items are displayed simultaneously in rows and columns. Each grid cell contains a thumbnail or preview of a data item, allowing users to scan horizontally and vertically across multiple items in parallel. This dimensional change enables simultaneous examination of multiple items without sequential scrolling, significantly improving search productivity while maintaining the ability to select and view items in detail.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables rapid access to desired data items by classifying and displaying data according to predetermined input events or motion variations, reducing the time spent searching through large datasets.
Implementation Method 1
a motion sensing unit detecting a motion of the mobile terminal for tag rearrangement
Data Source
AI summary
A mobile terminal and a method of displaying data for the same are disclosed. The data display method includes displaying one or more tags, checking whether a motion of the mobile terminal is detected, identifying the terminal motion if terminal motion is detected, and displaying rearranged tags when the identified terminal motion is related to tag rearrangement.
