Page Content Displacement for One-Hand Operation on Large Touchscreens
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
On mobile terminals with large touch screens, users face difficulties in performing one-hand operations when content reaches the edge of the screen, as existing solutions either restrict sliding or scale down content, wasting screen space and degrading the user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that detect when content reaches the edge of the screen, allowing page content to be moved to a one-hand operation area without scaling, enabling one-hand operations by determining a preset direction and magnitude of displacement based on user input, and returning to the initial position upon user instruction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If page content is scaled down to a corner of the screen according to a preset percentage, then one-hand operation becomes possible, but screen space is wasted and visual aesthetics are affected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic positioning of page content, where the content can be relocated to different areas of the screen based on user interaction states. When one-hand operation mode is activated, the content dynamically moves to a corner position; when normal mode is active, the content remains in the center. This dynamic adjustment allows the system to adapt to different operational needs without permanently sacrificing screen space.
2Ease of operation
If page content is scaled down according to a preset percentage, then one-hand operation becomes possible, but viewing and touch operations become inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of changing the scale parameter of the page content, the patent changes the position parameter. The content maintains its original size and scaling properties, but its position on the screen changes dynamically. This approach preserves the precision of viewing and touch operations while enabling one-hand operation capability through position adjustment rather than size reduction.
3Reliability
If display content reaches the bottom or top of the page content, then scrolling is restricted, but user operation flexibility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the screen into different operational zones and implements zone-based interaction logic. When the display content reaches the bottom or top edge, the system recognizes this boundary condition and automatically triggers a zone transition, moving the content to a corner position where additional scrolling space becomes available. This segmentation approach maintains reliable scrolling control within each zone while providing operational flexibility through zone transitions.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and an apparatus for moving page content. The method includes: acquiring an instruction for moving page content if it is detected that display content reaches a bottom or top of the page content; moving the page content in a preset direction to a one-hand operation area according to the moving instruction; and moving the page content in a direction opposite to the preset direction at a preset first speed when a page return instruction of a user in the one-hand operation area is received. According to the embodiments of the present invention, on a mobile terminal with a large touchscreen, when it is detected that display content reaches a bottom or top of page content, the page content may be moved in a preset direction to a one-hand operation area according to a moving instruction, so that a user performs a one-hand operation in the one-hand operation area, thereby facilitating viewing and one-hand touch operations; and the page content may be moved from the one-hand operation area back to an initial display position at a preset first speed, thereby improving intelligence of the mobile terminal.
