Interface Safe Operation Zone Adaptation for Special-Shaped Screens
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display adaptation methods for special-shaped screens on mobile terminals result in a limited field of view and poor display effects due to the need for black borders and cropping of user interfaces, which restricts the adaptation of applications across different terminal types.
Innovation Solution
A display adaptation method that allows users to set and adjust the boundaries of an interface safe operation zone through a setting interface, determining positional parameters based on user input, and generating an adapted zone to optimize the display area without affecting the background layer, enabling larger display areas and improved user interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If black borders are used for display adaptation on special-shaped screens, then the application can run on different terminal types, but the field of view is limited and display effect deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adaptation by allowing the safe operation zone boundaries to be adjusted based on different terminal screen shapes and sizes. The system automatically detects the terminal type and dynamically repositions the safe operation zone to maximize the display area while ensuring controls remain within the visible region, eliminating the need for static black borders.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameters of the safe operation zone (position, size, boundaries) according to the specific terminal characteristics. By modifying these parameters dynamically rather than using fixed black borders, the system achieves both adaptability to different terminals and maximized field of view.
2Adaptability or versatility
If black borders are used for display adaptation, then compatibility across terminals is improved, but display quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the safe operation zone configuration based on terminal detection, allowing the UI to utilize the full display area without black borders. This dynamic adaptation maintains compatibility across different terminal types while preserving display quality by avoiding unnecessary dark regions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent modifies the safe operation zone parameters (coordinates, dimensions) according to the detected terminal type, enabling the UI to be properly positioned and sized for each terminal without requiring black borders, thus maintaining both compatibility and display quality.
3Manufacturing precision
If UI controls are cropped toward the central direction, then they fit within the visible area, but the field of view is restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by defining a specific safe operation zone with precise boundaries tailored to each terminal type. Instead of uniformly cropping all UI elements toward the center, the system locally adjusts the safe operation zone boundaries to accommodate controls while maximizing the overall display area.
Solution Approach 2:
The safe operation zone boundaries are dynamically adjusted based on terminal characteristics. The system calculates optimal boundary positions for each terminal type, allowing controls to be precisely positioned within the safe zone while minimizing the impact on the overall display area.

AI summary
A display adaptation method for an application executed by a terminal includes: displaying a setting interface for setting at least one zone boundary of an interface safe operation zone, the interface safe operation zone being a zone used for displaying a human-computer interaction control responsive to one or more gesture operations in the application; receiving a boundary setting operation triggered on the setting interface; determining positional parameters of zone boundaries of the interface safe operation zone according to the boundary setting operation; and generating, according to the positional parameters, the interface safe operation zone adapted to the terminal.
