Simultaneous Input of Multiple Pull-Down Menus
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The complexity of inputting multiple pull-down menus on a page form leads to increased user time and fatigue, resulting in decreased efficiency and potential errors due to the need for sequential clicking and selection of options.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for simultaneous input of multiple pull-down menus, where each menu is assigned unique identification information, allowing users to input multiple selections in a single request, analyzed for accuracy, and processed for parallel input, thereby reducing the need for sequential clicking.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple pull-down menus are designed on the same page for user input, then the functionality and information coverage are improved, but the input process becomes complicated and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple pull-down menu selections into a single input operation. By combining the selection logic of multiple menus into one unified interaction, users can select options from multiple menus simultaneously through a single click or input action, rather than clicking each menu sequentially. This directly reduces input time while preserving the functionality of multiple menu options.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary analysis of the input request to determine which pull-down menus and options should be selected. By pre-processing the input and automatically determining the selections before final execution, the system eliminates the need for users to manually click through each menu, thereby reducing input time while maintaining accurate functionality.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple pull-down menus are designed on the same page, then more options and information are provided, but user fatigue and error rate increase
Solution Approach 1:
By merging multiple menu selections into a single operation, the patent reduces the number of separate user actions required. This consolidation minimizes the opportunities for user errors that would occur during sequential clicking, while still providing access to all the options from multiple menus. The single unified input reduces fatigue and improves reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system analyzes the input request and provides feedback by determining the correct menu selections automatically. This feedback mechanism ensures that even with complex multiple-menu scenarios, the system interprets the user intent accurately and executes the correct selections, thereby maintaining high input accuracy despite the variety of options available.
3Ease of operation
If sequential clicking is required for each pull-down menu, then precise control over each selection is achieved, but working efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple sequential selection operations into a single unified input action. Users provide one input that triggers the system to analyze and execute selections across multiple menus simultaneously. This merging approach maintains precise control over each selection through systematic analysis while dramatically improving working efficiency by eliminating repetitive clicking.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary analysis of the unified input request to determine the appropriate selections for each menu before execution. This pre-processing step ensures that precise control is maintained through systematic determination of selections, while the overall process is accelerated because users only need to provide one input rather than multiple sequential clicks.

AI summary
A page form, and a method and system for simultaneously inputting a plurality of pull-down menus. The method comprises: inputting a multi-pull-down menu simultaneous input request (110); analyzing the input multi-pull-down menu simultaneous input request to obtain all pull-down menus currently requiring input simultaneously and pull-down options required to be input in the pull-down menus respectively (120); and according to the analysis result, simultaneously selecting and inputting each pull-down menu obtained by analysis (130). According to the method, by completing simultaneous input of a plurality of pull-down menus at once, the working efficiency of consumers or users is improved, and the user experience is enhanced.
