Solution Overview

Problem

Current online store editing processes require high user operation levels, leading to low efficiency and poor user experience.

Innovation Solution

An information display method and apparatus that provides first and second prompt information on a target interface to guide the placement of components, indicating candidate and target placement areas based on trigger operations, reducing the complexity of user interactions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional online store editing processes are used, then users can edit store interfaces, but the process requires high user operation levels leading to low efficiency and poor user experience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveediting efficiencyVSAvoiduser operation level requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides real-time feedback through prompt information that appears when components are dragged into the target interface. The first prompt information indicates candidate placement areas, and the second prompt information confirms the target placement area, guiding users through the editing process step by step and reducing the operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary guidance mechanism (prompt information) between the user and the component placement process. This intermediary provides visual cues and instructions that mediate the interaction, making the editing process more intuitive and reducing the user operation level required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If component placement guidance is provided through multiple prompt stages, then user experience is improved, but the interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The guidance process is segmented into two distinct stages: first prompt information for candidate placement areas, and second prompt information for the target placement area. This segmentation breaks down the complex placement process into manageable steps, improving user experience without overwhelming the interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The prompt information dynamically appears and disappears based on user actions. The first prompt appears when components are being dragged, and the second prompt appears when they enter the target interface. This dynamic behavior provides necessary guidance without creating static visual clutter.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure are an information display method and apparatus, and an electronic device and a storage medium. The method comprises: in response to a trigger operation for a target component, displaying first prompt information in a target interface, wherein the first prompt information is used for indicating candidate placement areas in the target interface that meet a condition for placing the target component therein; and if it is detected that the target component enters the target interface, displaying second prompt information in the target interface, wherein the second prompt information is used for indicating a target placement area for placing the target component therein, and the candidate placement areas comprise the target placement area.
