Solution Overview

Problem

In the mobile Internet field, the display of components on terminal screens results in reduced interface utilization and user satisfaction due to the lack of successive information changes after entering an application program window, leading to users needing to search for target information multiple times.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that display multiple levels of detail for components by acquiring and displaying display interfaces layer by layer using display instructions, ensuring that each interface includes information from the previous one, thereby maintaining a successive change in displayed content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a component is clicked to start an application program and enter a window, then the application program can be executed, but the whole display screen shows only the window which significantly reduces interface display utilization

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomponent interactionVSAvoidinterface display utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the display interface into multiple levels: a first display interface shown on the terminal screen and a second display interface shown inside the application program window. This segmentation allows different levels of detail to be displayed at different locations, resolving the contradiction between enabling application execution and maintaining high interface display utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a dimensional hierarchy by displaying the first display interface at the terminal screen level and the second display interface at the application window level. This multi-dimensional display structure enables the system to simultaneously utilize the terminal screen for component interaction and the application window for detailed information display, thereby improving overall interface display utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Productivity

If only a single display interface is shown after entering the application program window, then the application can be launched, but users need to search for target information multiple times reducing user satisfaction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation retrieval efficiencyVSAvoiduser search time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-displaying summary information of the application program on the first display interface before the user enters the application. This allows users to preview available information and reduce the need to search multiple times after entering the application, thereby improving information retrieval efficiency and reducing user search time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs a nested structure where the second display interface (detailed information) is nested within the application program window, which itself contains the first display interface (summary information). This nested arrangement allows users to access detailed information without losing context of summary information, improving information retrieval efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Area of stationary object

If the second display interface does not include the first display interface content, then the application window can display detailed information, but interface display utilization is further reduced due to repeated content display

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface display utilizationVSAvoiddisplay interface structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the content of the first display interface with the second display interface by ensuring that the second display interface includes the first display interface content. This merging approach allows detailed information to be displayed while preserving the context of summary information, thereby improving interface display utilization without significantly increasing device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A method for content displaying of a component includes displaying, on a terminal screen, a first display interface of a component, acquiring a first display instruction, acquiring a second display interface of the component according to the first display instruction, and displaying, on the terminal screen, the second display interface of the component, where the second display interface includes the first display interface.
