Solution Overview

Problem

Screen saver technology on television is underdeveloped, primarily providing static posters or preset animation effects, lacking dynamic interaction capabilities.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for screen saver interaction that includes displaying a screen saver interface, obtaining interaction information from an interaction object, determining dynamic interaction effects based on this information, and displaying these effects to enable dynamic interaction between the object and screen saver content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If screen saver provides only static posters or preset animation effects, then the device complexity is low, but the adaptability and user engagement are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The screen saver transitions from static or preset animations to dynamic content that responds to user interactions. The system continuously updates the displayed content based on real-time detection of user presence and interaction gestures, making the screen saver adaptive and responsive rather than fixed and passive.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback loop where the screen saver detects user interactions through the camera, processes the interaction information, and adjusts the displayed content accordingly. This closed-loop system allows the screen saver to respond to user actions and continuously adapt its behavior based on detected gestures and user presence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If screen saver uses simple preset animations, then the ease of manufacture is high, but the functional richness and user engagement are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidimplementation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The screen saver system integrates multiple functions into a single application: it displays visual content, detects user presence via camera, recognizes interaction gestures, processes interaction information, and dynamically adjusts displayed content. This multi-functional approach allows the screen saver to serve as both a display outlet and an interaction interface without requiring separate systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an interaction information processing module as an intermediary between the camera detection and the content display. This mediator processes raw camera data, identifies interaction gestures, extracts interaction information, and translates it into control signals for the screen saver content, simplifying the overall system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If screen saver implements dynamic interaction effects, then the user engagement and visual richness improve, but the processing requirements and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction information processingVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The interaction processing system is divided into distinct functional modules: a detection module that captures camera input, an analysis module that identifies gestures and extracts interaction information, and a response module that applies the interaction effects to the screen saver content. This segmentation allows each module to be optimized independently and simplifies the overall processing pipeline.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Disclosed are a method and an apparatus of screen saver interaction, an electronic device, and a storage medium. In an embodiment, a screen saver interface may be displayed. Upon receiving the interaction trigger instruction from the interaction object for the screen saver content in the screen saver interface, target interaction information is obtained based on the interaction trigger instruction. A dynamic interaction effect for the screen saver content is determined based on the target interaction information. The dynamic interaction effect for the screen saver content is displayed on the screen saver interface to realize dynamic interaction between the interaction object and the screen saver content.
