Dynamic Section Positioning for Column Layout Readability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users experience cumbersome operations and poor reading experience when navigating between sections in column layouts due to unclear positioning of content after enlargement, requiring repeated adjustments to view subsequent columns.
Innovation Solution
A data processing method and device that detects operations on a page, determines the layout type, and adjusts the relative position between sections to ensure both are visible in the display area when moving along a direction, optimizing the reading experience by aligning sections with the same attributes and optimizing display attributes for clarity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the page is enlarged to read small font content in column layout, then the font becomes readable, but the positioning of content becomes unclear and requires repeated adjustments
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the page into multiple sections (first section, second section, etc.) and processes each section independently. When a user enlarges the page to read column layout content, the system identifies section boundaries and automatically adjusts the display to show complete sections, preventing the positioning confusion that occurs when content is fragmented across page adjustments.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary detection of the layout type and section boundaries before the user encounters positioning issues. By pre-identifying where sections begin and end, the system can proactively adjust the display area to maintain clear positioning awareness, rather than waiting for the user to repeatedly adjust the page.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the user drags the enlarged page to view the next column, then the next column becomes visible, but the operation becomes cumbersome and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the display system to automatically adjust itself based on detected layout types and section boundaries. Instead of requiring the user to manually drag the page to view the next column, the system autonomously determines when a section is complete and automatically positions the display area to show the next section, making the reading process self-adjusting and eliminating cumbersome manual operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the system continuously monitors user interaction with the page and detects when content reading is complete. Based on this feedback, the system automatically triggers position adjustments to display the next section, creating a responsive reading experience that adapts to user needs without requiring manual intervention.
3Quantity of substance
If multiple sections are displayed in column layout, then information density increases, but positioning and navigation between sections becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent explicitly segments the page into distinct sections with identifiable boundaries and attributes. Each section is treated as an independent unit with its own positioning information, allowing the system to track and manage the location of each section separately. This segmentation preserves positioning information even as multiple sections are displayed in dense column layouts.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses visual indicators (such as boundary lines or highlighting) to distinguish between different sections. These visual markers maintain positioning information by clearly showing users where one section ends and another begins, preventing the loss of spatial orientation that occurs in dense multi-section layouts.

AI summary
A data processing method includes detecting a first operation for a first page, determining a layout type of the first page, the first page including a first section and a second section, and in response to the layout type being same as a preset type, adjusting a relative position between the first section and the second section so that both of the first section and the second section are visible when moving along a first direction in a display area.
