Information Flow Panel Gesture Closure Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information flow display panels on terminals require users to manually search and click a close button, which is inconvenient, especially on larger screens and with one hand, complicating the operation and user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that detect a sliding gesture on the information flow display panel, determining a sliding starting point and distance, and close the panel if the distance exceeds a set threshold, allowing users to close the panel intuitively without needing to find a close button.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a close button is provided on the information flow display panel, then the panel can be closed, but the user must manually search and click the button which complicates the operation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the close function from a fixed close button and relocates it to the gesture operation area. When a user performs a swipe gesture from the edge of the screen, the close function is activated through the gesture itself rather than requiring a separate close button. This eliminates the need for users to search for and click a close button, directly simplifying the operation while reducing interface element complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements self-service by enabling the display panel to automatically respond to edge swipe gestures without requiring users to locate or interact with a close button. The system detects the gesture pattern (swiping from the edge with sufficient distance) and automatically executes the close function, making the interface serve itself rather than requiring explicit button interaction.
2Area of stationary object
If the screen size increases, then more information can be displayed, but one-handed operation becomes more difficult with a fixed close button position
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making the gesture recognition area concentrated at the edge of the screen rather than distributing controls across the entire display area. The edge swipe gesture can be initiated from a specific local region (the edge), which remains easily accessible even as the overall screen size increases. This allows one-handed operation to remain effective while the display area expands.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a two-dimensional button interface to a gesture-based interface that utilizes the spatial dimension of screen edges. By recognizing swipe gestures originating from the edge region, the system creates a new interaction dimension that is naturally suited for one-handed operation regardless of screen size, as the edge remains within easy reach of the thumb.
3Productivity
If a close button is provided, then the panel can be closed, but the operation becomes complicated requiring multiple steps
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements skipping by eliminating the intermediate step of locating and clicking a close button. The gesture operation allows users to directly close the panel through a single swipe motion from the edge, skipping the search and click steps entirely. This reduces the closure operation to a single continuous motion, significantly improving efficiency and reducing the time required to close the panel.

AI summary
Provided are a method and device for controlling information flow display panel, a terminal apparatus and a storage medium. The method includes: determining, in response to detecting a sliding gesture on the information flow display panel and in a case where the sliding gesture is determined as a set sliding gesture, a sliding starting point of the sliding gesture according to a region where the sliding gesture is located; determining, in response to detecting a release operation of the sliding gesture, a sliding distance of the sliding gesture; and closing the information flow display panel based on a determination that the sliding distance is greater than or equal to a set threshold.
