Non-Navigation Button AI Access via Segmented Navigation Bar
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The invocation process for artificial intelligence functions, such as voice input, is excessively complex for users, requiring multiple operations that can be difficult to master, especially for those unfamiliar with the necessary steps.
Innovation Solution
A control method and apparatus that includes a navigation bar with non-navigation buttons, allowing users to easily access AI function entry screens and scene service task screens by triggering them through specific inputs, such as tapping or sliding, which simplifies the process and reduces the complexity of invoking these functions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users access AI functions through traditional settings menus, then the system maintains a clear hierarchical structure, but the number of operations required becomes excessive and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The navigation bar is segmented to include dedicated non-navigation buttons for AI functions, separating AI function access from traditional navigation operations. This allows users to directly access AI functions without navigating through settings menus, reducing the number of operations required while maintaining system structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The navigation bar is enhanced with multi-functionality by incorporating non-navigation buttons that provide direct access to AI functions. This universal access mechanism works across different screens and contexts, allowing users to invoke AI functions from any state without changing the fundamental navigation structure.
2Speed
If AI function buttons are placed in the navigation bar, then access speed increases, but the navigation bar structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
AI function access is extracted from the deep settings menu hierarchy and placed directly into the navigation bar. This extraction moves the frequently used AI function access to a more accessible location without requiring users to navigate through multiple menu levels, thereby increasing access speed while the navigation bar structure absorbs the additional buttons.
Solution Approach 2:
The navigation bar is transformed from a purely navigational element to a hybrid structure that includes both navigation buttons and functional buttons. This dimensional change allows the navigation bar to serve dual purposes: traditional navigation and direct access to AI functions, thereby increasing access speed without significantly increasing perceived complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple buttons are added to the navigation bar for different AI functions, then function accessibility improves, but the navigation bar occupies more screen space
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple AI function buttons are merged into the existing navigation bar structure rather than creating separate access points. This consolidation allows users to access multiple AI functions from a single location without requiring additional screen space for separate buttons or menus, thereby improving accessibility while minimizing space occupation.

AI summary
A control method includes displaying a first interface, receiving first input of a user acting on a non-navigation button, displaying, in response to the first input, at least one of an artificial intelligence (AI) function entry interface and a scene service task interface that are corresponding to the non-navigation button, where the first interface includes a navigation bar, the navigation bar is provided with a navigation button and at least one non-navigation button, when the navigation button is triggered, an electronic device performs at least one of returning to a previous interface, jumping to a home interface, and invoking an interface of an application program accessed within a preset time up to a current moment, and when the at least one non-navigation button is triggered, the electronic device displays at least one of an AI function entry interface and a scene service task interface.
