Unified Object Processing Interface for Multi-App Workflow
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inconvenience when processing objects with multiple applications on electronic devices, as they need to switch between various interfaces to select and use different applications, leading to suboptimal user experience.
Innovation Solution
An object processing method and apparatus that displays a first processing interface showing a target object and identifiers of available applications, allowing sequential selection and processing by each application to obtain a result, thereby eliminating the need for manual interface switching.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users manually switch between different application interfaces to process an object, then multiple applications can be used for processing, but the operation convenience deteriorates due to frequent interface switching
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple application interfaces into a single unified processing interface. This interface displays the target object along with identifiers of multiple applications that can process it, allowing users to select and execute multiple applications without switching between separate interfaces. The processing results from different applications are then integrated and displayed together, resolving the contradiction between multi-application capability and operation convenience.
2Reliability
If users select and execute multiple applications sequentially to process an object, then comprehensive processing results can be obtained, but the time consumption increases due to sequential operations
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-loading and displaying identifiers of multiple applications that can process the target object within a single interface. This allows users to see all available processing options simultaneously and make selections without time-consuming navigation between interfaces. The sequential execution of applications is optimized by preparing the interface structure in advance, reducing the overall time loss while maintaining processing completeness.

AI summary
An object processing method is performed by an electronic device and includes: displaying a first processing interface, the first processing interface displaying a target object; obtaining at least one application configured to process the target object, and displaying an identifier of each of the at least one application in the first processing interface; sequentially selecting at least one application from the at least one application and processing a corresponding to-be-processed object by each currently-selected application to obtain an object processing result after at least one processing. The to-be-processed object corresponding to an application that is firstly selected from the at least one application is the target object; the to-be-processed object corresponding to an application that is not firstly selected from the at least one application is an object obtained after processing the target object for at least once.
