Solution Overview

Problem

Users face a significant time burden when trying to navigate long content pages on mobile terminals due to the slow page sliding speed, which negatively impacts their user experience.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that detect multiple touch points on a display interface, calculate the sliding speed based on these points, and adjust the page sliding velocity accordingly, allowing for faster navigation by multiplying the sliding speed of individual touch points by the number of touch points used.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If the user increases finger sliding speed to navigate long pages faster, then the page sliding speed increases, but the time required to reach the page end still becomes excessively long due to the extreme page length

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepage sliding speedVSAvoidtime to reach page end
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic sliding speed adjustment based on touch point count. When multiple touch points are detected, the system dynamically increases the page sliding speed by multiplying the base sliding speed by the number of touch points. This allows the sliding speed to adapt to user intent - using more fingers results in faster sliding, effectively reducing the time to navigate long pages while maintaining control precision for single-finger operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If the user uses multiple fingers to slide the page, then the page sliding speed increases, but the operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepage navigation efficiencyVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects the number of touch points and calculates the appropriate sliding speed multiplier without requiring user configuration. The complexity of determining optimal sliding speed is transferred from the user to the system, which self-adjusts based on the detected touch gesture. Users simply need to perform natural multi-finger gestures, and the system handles the speed calculation and page sliding automatically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A page sliding method is provided. The method includes: detecting, by a computing terminal, a sliding touch control operation on a display interface. The sliding touch control operation involves multiple touch points on the display interface. The method also includes obtaining, by the computing terminal, the number of the multiple touch points and a sliding speed of at least one of the multiple touch points; and determining a sliding speed of the sliding touch control operation according to the number of the multiple touch points and the sliding speed of the at least one of the multiple touch points. The method also includes: sliding, by the computing terminal, the page on the display interface according to the sliding speed of the sliding touch control operation.
