Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices lack an efficient method to display screens of applications executed using subscriber identification module (SIM) information, leading to cumbersome user interfaces and inefficient management of SIM-related applications.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a display module featuring multiple areas, a memory to store computer-executable instructions, and a processor that detects execution inputs for target applications, obtains relevant SIM information, and displays application screens in corresponding areas of the display module.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple SIM information are read and processed, then the functionality and versatility of the electronic device is improved, but the device complexity and interface management difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The display module is divided into multiple independent display areas, each corresponding to a specific SIM information. This segmentation allows each area to independently display and manage applications associated with a particular SIM, thereby handling multiple SIM information without increasing overall interface complexity. The processor selectively activates and manages each display area based on the target SIM information, enabling versatile SIM processing while maintaining organized, manageable interfaces.
2Device complexity
If applications are displayed in a single unified area, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ability to distinguish and manage different SIM-related applications deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Different display areas are assigned specific local qualities by associating each area with particular SIM information. When a target application related to specific SIM information is detected, the processor activates the corresponding display area with the appropriate local quality settings. This ensures that each SIM-related application is displayed in a distinct area, preventing information confusion while maintaining a relatively simple overall display structure.
3Loss of information
If the display module activates multiple areas simultaneously, then the information display capacity is improved, but the energy consumption and processing overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The display module employs dynamic area activation based on the detected target application and its associated SIM information. Rather than keeping all display areas continuously active, the processor dynamically activates only the specific display area corresponding to the target SIM information. This dynamic approach ensures complete information display for the active application while minimizing energy consumption by keeping other areas inactive until needed.
