Solution Overview

Problem

Users face difficulty in operating large sensing screens with a single hand, as the screen regions are often distant from the hand position, making it challenging to control the interface effectively.

Innovation Solution

A method and electronic apparatus that translate the screen display interface by sensing user operations, generating corresponding instructions, and translating the interface to a preset region based on the operation action, allowing the interface to be displayed in a position that is within reach of a single hand, using a coordinate mapping system that divides the screen into four regions for specific translation directions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If the sensing screen size is increased to provide better visual and operational experiences, then the visual experience is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates because the screen regions become distant from the hand position

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the display interface movable rather than fixed. The interface can be dynamically translated to different regions on the sensing screen based on the user's hand position and operation actions. This allows the interface to adapt its position dynamically, enabling users to operate large screens with a single hand while maintaining good visual experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism - the interface translation system - that mediates between the user's hand operations and the large sensing screen. This intermediary translates user actions into interface repositioning, effectively bridging the gap between the user's limited reach and the large screen area, thereby enabling single-hand operation of large screens.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Illumination intensity

If the sensing screen size is increased to provide better visual experiences, then the visual experience is improved, but the operational convenience deteriorates because single-hand operation becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual experienceVSAvoidoperational convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The interface translation system dynamically repositions the display content based on detected user actions. The system monitors operation actions and translates the interface to appropriate regions, enabling users to interact with distant screen areas without needing to physically reach those areas. This dynamic adaptation maintains operational convenience despite the large screen size.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the position parameter of the display interface based on detected operation actions. By modifying the interface position parameter dynamically, the system allows users to operate the screen conveniently with a single hand while maintaining the large screen's visual advantages. The translation distance and direction are adjusted according to the detected actions.

Inventive Principle:

AI summary

A method and an electronic apparatus for achieving translation of a screen display interface are provided. The method comprises: sensing a first operation action of a user on a sensing screen; generating a first operation instruction when the first operation action is sensed; determining whether the first operation instructions belongs to a translation instruction that is preset for translating the display interface; if determining the first operation instruction belongs to the translation instruction, translating the screen display interface to a preset region by a preset distance towards a direction of an action region according to the first operation instruction for displaying, where the action region is a position region mapping the first operation action to the sensing screen. In this way, the present disclosure can allow a user to operate the full screen of a large sensing screen with a single bond.
