Single Window List Switching for Online and Local Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing applications require multiple user operations to switch between online and local lists, which are typically displayed in different windows, leading to a lengthy and cumbersome switching process.
Innovation Solution
A method and computing device that allow users to switch between online and local lists within the same display window by presenting list information and a list switching entrance, enabling refresh and display of the second list upon a trigger operation, thereby eliminating the need for multiple window switches.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If online list and local list are displayed in different windows, then list information can be organized separately, but user operation complexity increases and switching time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the display of online list and local list into a single window interface. The display window contains both list information and a list switching entrance, allowing users to switch between online and local lists without navigating between multiple windows. This combining approach directly reduces operation complexity while maintaining organized list management.
Solution Approach 2:
The single display window serves multiple functions: displaying online list information, displaying local list information, and providing the switching entrance between the two list types. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate dedicated windows for each list type, simplifying the overall interface structure.
2Loss of time
If online list and local list are displayed in different windows, then list information can be organized separately, but switching time increases due to multiple trigger operations
Solution Approach 1:
The display window is segmented to show both online list information and local list information in distinct but accessible areas. The list switching entrance is positioned within the same window, allowing rapid switching without requiring users to navigate away from the current context. This segmentation within a unified interface reduces switching time significantly.

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses a method for switching an online list and a local list in a same window, and a computing device. Wherein the method comprises: presenting a display window in response to a trigger operation on a first list display entrance by a user, wherein list information of a first list and a list switching entrance are displayed in the display window; and refreshing the display window to display list information of a second list, in response to a trigger operation on the list switching entrance by the user; wherein the first list is a local list and the second list is an online list, or, the first list is an online list and the second list is a local list.
