Solution Overview

Problem

Users face difficulties in familiarizing themselves with unfamiliar functions and applications in intelligent terminal operating systems due to the lack of a simulation desktop that accurately mimics the operating system, leading to resistance in trying new features and settings, as existing simulation desktops have fixed content and preset operation processes that do not account for personalized user settings.

Innovation Solution

A simulation desktop establishment method that acquires system parameters from the operating system to create a simulation desktop with similar content and feedback, allowing users to perform tap or slide operations that correspond to the operating system, and records changes to apply differences directly to the system, enhancing user experience and familiarity with system functions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If a simulation desktop with fixed content and preset operation processes is used, then the simulation desktop can be established quickly, but the similarity between the simulation desktop and the actual operating system deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetime to establish simulation desktopVSAvoidsimilarity between simulation desktop and operating system
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a simulation desktop by copying the actual operating system's interface elements, layout, and configuration parameters. The system acquires desktop configuration parameters from the actual operating system and uses them to generate a simulation desktop that replicates the real system's appearance and structure, thereby improving similarity without requiring manual design of each element.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The simulation desktop is made dynamic by allowing it to adapt to user operations. When users perform operations on the simulation desktop, the system monitors these operations and automatically adjusts the simulation desktop's configuration parameters to match the actual operating system's state, maintaining high similarity throughout the learning process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Device complexity

If a simulation desktop with fixed content is used, then the simulation desktop structure is simple, but the adaptability to personalized user settings deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimulation desktop structureVSAvoidadaptability to user settings
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-acquiring desktop configuration parameters from the actual operating system before the user begins learning. This includes capturing the current desktop layout, icon positions, and system settings, which are then stored and used to create a simulation desktop that is already adapted to the user's specific system configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by monitoring user operations on the simulation desktop and comparing them with the actual operating system's response. When discrepancies are detected, the system automatically updates the simulation desktop's configuration parameters to maintain consistency with the real system, ensuring continuous adaptability to personalized settings.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Ease of operation

If operations are performed on a simulation desktop with fixed content, then the operation process is straightforward, but the effectiveness of transferring skills to the actual operating system deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation processVSAvoideffectiveness of skill transfer
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The simulation desktop replicates the actual operating system's interface elements, button positions, and interaction patterns. By copying the real system's structure and behavior, users can practice operations in the simulation environment with the confidence that their skills will directly transfer to the actual operating system without needing to adapt to different layouts or interaction methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

A simulation desktop establishment method is disclosed. The method includes: acquiring, by a terminal, system parameter of a current operating system; and establishing, by the terminal, a simulation desktop by using preset configuration data according to the system parameter, where content of simulation desktop parameter of the established simulation desktop is the same as content of the system parameter. It can be seen that, required system parameter are directly acquired from an operating system, and a simulation desktop corresponding to the operating system is established by using preset configuration data according to the system parameter, so that the established simulation desktop is basically the same as the operating system in appearance, interface, and the like, which can give a user a strong sense of identification. A function tried on such a simulation desktop can be rapidly and directly located and applied to a corresponding operating system, thereby achieving an effect of effectively helping a user to be familiar with an unfamiliar function in the operating system and improving user experience.
