Notification Bar Graphic Code Display via Extraction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing methods for displaying graphic codes are complex and cumbersome, requiring users to open specific interfaces within application programs, which complicates the process of presenting and scanning graphic codes for information pushing, friend adding, and resource transfer.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that create a customized layout in a notification bar, allowing graphic codes to be directly displayed and read from a predetermined application program, simplifying the process by eliminating the need for users to navigate through multiple steps and enabling direct access to graphic codes in the notification bar.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If graphic codes are displayed through traditional application program interfaces, then the graphic code can be presented to users, but the procedure becomes complex and cumbersome requiring multiple navigation steps
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the graphic code display function from the traditional application program interface and relocates it to the notification bar. This separation allows the graphic code to be accessed directly through the notification bar without requiring users to navigate through the application program's internal interfaces, thereby simplifying the display procedure while maintaining the graphic code presentation capability
Solution Approach 2:
The notification bar serves as an intermediary component between the application program and the user interface. By using the notification bar as a mediator to display the graphic code, the system eliminates the need for users to deeply navigate into the application program, thus reducing operational complexity while preserving access to the graphic code functionality
2Productivity
If users navigate through multiple interfaces to access graphic codes, then comprehensive access is possible, but the number of steps and time required increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by obtaining and preparing the graphic code in advance within the application program before the user needs to access it. The graphic code is retrieved from the server and stored in the application program's memory beforehand, so when the user interacts with the notification bar, the graphic code is already ready for immediate display without requiring additional navigation or loading steps
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the graphic code display process into two independent parts: (1) obtaining the graphic code within the application program, and (2) displaying it through the notification bar. This segmentation allows the time-consuming graphic code retrieval to occur in the background while the user interaction with the notification bar remains quick and simple, thereby improving overall access efficiency while reducing perceived time delay
