Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices require users to manually initiate translation applications and switch between original and translated content, leading to poor user experience.

Innovation Solution

A content display method that automatically translates content when the screen is in a non-touch state and stops translation when touched, allowing seamless switching between original and translated content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual translation application is used, then translation function is available, but user operation complexity increases and user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetranslation operationVSAvoidoperation steps
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The translation system automatically detects text in the display interface and performs translation without requiring user initiation. The electronic device monitors its own screen state, identifies to-be-translated content, and executes translation autonomously, eliminating the need for users to manually open translation applications or copy text.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The translation function is pre-configured to automatically activate when the screen is in a non-touch state. The system prepares the translation capability in advance and triggers it automatically based on screen state detection, so users don't need to take preliminary actions to start the translation process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If translation application is opened manually, then translation can be performed, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetranslation efficiencyVSAvoidtime for translation operation
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The translation function operates continuously in the background by monitoring screen state changes. When the screen transitions to a non-touch state, translation is automatically performed without interruption to the user's workflow. This continuous monitoring and automatic execution eliminates the time loss associated with manually opening and closing translation applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Ease of operation

If automatic translation is implemented, then user experience improves, but control over translation display may be reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetranslation operationVSAvoiddisplay control flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The translation display is dynamically controlled based on real-time screen state. When the screen is touched, the translation display adapts by being hidden or adjusted, and when not touched, it displays automatically. This dynamic adaptation maintains user control while preserving the automatic translation benefit.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors touch events as feedback from user interaction. When touch feedback is detected, the system adjusts the translation display behavior accordingly, allowing users to control the translation display through natural touch gestures while maintaining automatic translation functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Provided is a content display method and apparatus, a storage medium, and an electronic device. The method includes: obtaining a screen state of the electronic device; determining a first to-be-translated content in a display interface when the screen state is a non-touch state; translating the first to-be-translated content to obtain a first translation content, and displaying the first translation content; and stopping displaying the first translation content when the screen state is switched to a touched state.
