Screen Control Grouping for Orientation Adaptation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display control methods for mobile devices struggle with efficient conversion between horizontal and vertical screen orientations, especially when there are many controls on the screen, leading to complex adaptation rules, mismatched control sizes, and increased development and maintenance costs.
Innovation Solution
A display control method that involves pre-dividing control elements on the screen into multiple control groups, determining a target control group that needs adjustment based on size information and screen posture, and applying an appropriate adjustment approach to ensure seamless display on the new screen posture.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If control elements are adjusted individually during screen conversion, then display adaptability is improved, but device complexity and development costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple control elements into control groups that are adjusted collectively during screen conversion. Instead of individually adjusting each control element's position and size, the system groups related controls and applies uniform adjustment rules to the entire group, significantly reducing the complexity of adaptation rules while maintaining display adaptability across different screen orientations.
2Adaptability or versatility
If many control elements are present on the screen, then functionality is improved, but conversion efficiency between screen postures deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the screen into multiple control groups based on functional regions and control element relationships. By dividing the screen layout into distinct segments (control groups), the system can efficiently manage and adjust multiple control elements during screen conversion without requiring complex individual adjustments for each element, thereby improving conversion efficiency while maintaining full functionality.
3Productivity
If control elements are pre-divided into control groups, then conversion efficiency is improved, but the initial processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-dividing control elements into control groups during the initial screen layout phase, before screen conversion occurs. This preliminary grouping establishes the structural framework that enables efficient conversion later, as the grouping logic is executed once during layout rather than repeatedly during each conversion operation, reducing the complexity burden during actual screen rotation or orientation changes.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a display control method and apparatus, and an electronic device. The method includes: in response to a terminal screen being rotated from a first posture to a second posture, acquiring control elements on the screen under the first posture and size information of the control elements, wherein the control elements on the screen under the first posture are divided into a plurality of control groups in advance; according to size information of the control groups and the size of the screen under the second posture, determining a target control group, which needs to be adjusted, and an adjustment mode therefor; and adjusting the target control group according to the adjustment mode, and displaying the control elements on the screen under the second posture.
