Dynamic Object Scaling by Scroll Speed for Screen Layout
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display methods struggle to intuitively and efficiently manage a large number of objects on screens, particularly in electronic devices, where users face difficulties in navigating and recognizing objects due to overcrowding.
Innovation Solution
A display method and apparatus that adjust the number and size of objects on a screen based on scroll speed, increasing or decreasing them proportionally or inversely, allowing for a more intuitive user experience by dynamically changing the screen layout in response to user input, such as touch or control signals.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If the number of objects displayed on the screen is increased to show more data, then the information completeness is improved, but the visual clutter and difficulty in locating objects increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the display parameters (number of objects, size of objects) changeable based on user interaction speed. During fast scrolling, more objects are displayed in smaller sizes to enable quick scanning, while during slow scrolling or stopping, fewer objects are displayed in larger sizes for detailed viewing. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction between displaying many objects and making them easy to locate.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes display parameters (number of objects, size of each object) based on scroll speed detection. When scroll speed exceeds a threshold, the system increases the number of displayed objects and decreases their size; when scroll speed is low, it decreases the number of objects and increases their size. This parameter change strategy directly addresses the contradiction between information quantity and locatability.
2Measurement precision
If the size of each object is increased to improve visibility and recognition, then the object recognizability is improved, but the total number of objects that can be displayed decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes object size dynamic based on scroll speed. During fast scrolling, objects are displayed in smaller sizes to accommodate more objects on screen for quick scanning. During slow scrolling or when the user stops, objects are displayed in larger sizes for better recognition and detail viewing. This dynamic size adjustment resolves the contradiction between object recognizability and the number of objects displayed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adjusts the size parameter of objects based on detected scroll speed. When scroll speed is high, object size is reduced to display more objects; when scroll speed is low, object size is increased for better recognition. This parameter change directly resolves the contradiction between visibility and quantity.
3Loss of information
If the display shows detailed information about each object, then the information completeness is improved, but the screen space required increases reducing the number of visible objects
Solution Approach 1:
The patent dynamically adjusts the level of detail displayed based on scroll speed. During fast scrolling, it shows thumbnail or icon views with less detail to maximize the number of visible objects. During slow scrolling or when stopped, it displays more detailed information about each object. This dynamic adjustment of information detail resolves the contradiction between information completeness and number of visible objects.

AI summary
A display method of a display apparatus is provided. The method includes displaying at least one object in a screen, receiving a user input for receiving a scroll direction for the at least one object, and changing a size of the area of the screen in which the at least one object is displayed on the screen according to scroll speed which corresponds to the received user input, and scrolling the at least one object according to the scroll direction.
