Scanning Interface Display for Simultaneous Code Scanning and Presentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inconvenience in scenarios where they need to switch between scanning and displaying two-dimensional codes, requiring separate selections and degrading the user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that display a scanning box and a first identification code on the same interface, allowing the interface to function as both a scanning device and a display for another device, eliminating the need for users to select between modes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users need to switch between scanning and displaying two-dimensional codes, then the system can perform both functions, but users require separate selections which degrades operation convenience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the scanning function and displaying function into a single integrated interface. The display screen shows both the scanning box (for scanning codes) and the user's own identification code (for being scanned) simultaneously on the same interface, eliminating the need to switch between separate modes or pages. This directly resolves the contradiction by maintaining both functions while improving operation convenience through unified access.
Solution Approach 2:
The interface is designed to be universal by incorporating multiple functions within a single screen. The same interface can be used both to scan other users' codes and to display the current user's code for others to scan, making the terminal versatile without requiring mode switching. This multi-functionality approach resolves the contradiction by enabling both scanning and displaying capabilities while maintaining ease of operation.
2Reliability
If separate interfaces are used for scanning and displaying codes, then each function can be optimized, but the number of operations required increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines what would traditionally be separate interfaces into one unified display. The scanning box and the user's identification code are both presented on the same screen, allowing users to perform scanning or displaying operations without navigating between different pages or modes. This reduces the number of operations and time required while maintaining functional reliability.
3Device complexity
If users must select between scanning mode and displayed mode, then the system can focus on one function at a time, but the complexity of operation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent eliminates the need for mode selection by merging both functions into a single interface. Users don't need to choose between scanning mode or displaying mode because both capabilities are simultaneously available on the same screen. This reduces operational complexity and improves ease of use while maintaining system functionality.

AI summary
A computer-implemented method includes: obtaining, by an application client executing on a terminal, a display request; and controlling, based on the display request, a display screen of the terminal to simultaneously display a scanning region and a first identification code in an interface, in which the first identification code stores information corresponding to a user of the terminal, in which the scanning region displays a second identification code scanned by a camera of the terminal, and in which the second identification code is usable by the terminal to perform operations based on the second identification code.
