Mobile Terminal Widget Object Property Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile terminals face challenges in providing users with easy and convenient methods to adjust object properties on small screens, leading to difficulties in recognizing functions and providing personalized information, especially for specialized widget objects.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal and method that allow users to freely adjust the size and information arrangement of objects on the screen by transitioning to a property change mode without explicit screen transitions, using touch events and guide frames to facilitate selection and display of alternative widget objects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If uniformly standardized objects of fixed sizes are provided on a small display area, then various types of information can be output, but users experience difficulty in rapidly recognizing functions and selecting desired objects
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by enabling objects to change their properties dynamically. Users can adjust object size, shape, and information arrangement through touch gestures, transforming static fixed-size objects into dynamic adaptable elements that can be customized according to user needs and display requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by allowing modification of object properties such as size, shape, and information layout. The system changes parameters of objects based on user input, enabling the same object to display different amounts of information in different formats to optimize recognition and selection on the small display area.
2Quantity of substance
If fixed images are used for output objects, then various types of information can be provided, but personalized information based on user preferences cannot be easily provisioned
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes objects dynamic and adaptable to user preferences. Instead of fixed images, objects can be customized through property adjustment modes where users modify size, shape, and information arrangement according to their personal preferences, enabling personalized display experiences.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service personalization by allowing users to directly adjust object properties through intuitive touch gestures without requiring complex settings menus. Users can customize objects according to their preferences by simply interacting with the display, making the system adapt to individual needs autonomously.
3Adaptability or versatility
If objects are adjusted by traditional methods, then property changes can be achieved, but the process is complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service adjustment by enabling users to directly modify object properties through simple touch gestures on the display itself. The system responds automatically to user input, eliminating the need for complex menus or multiple steps, thereby reducing adjustment process complexity while maintaining full property adjustment capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces complex mechanical adjustment mechanisms with direct touch-based interaction. Instead of requiring physical controls, buttons, or multi-step procedures, users can adjust object properties by simply touching and gesturing on the display screen, substituting complex mechanical systems with simplified tactile interaction.

AI summary
A mobile terminal and a method of supporting an object change for the same are provided. The mobile terminal includes a display unit for outputting at least one object, and a control unit for controlling at least one of directly displaying, in response to a signal for changing the output object into a second object having a similar function but being of a different type than the output object, the second object on the display unit without a screen transition, and for outputting, in response to a signal for changing the output object into a second object having a similar function but being of a different type than the output object, a guide frame on the display unit so as to facilitate change of the output object without a screen transition.
