Sliding Gesture Global Special Effect Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing methods for switching global special effects, such as filters in image and video editing software, are inefficient and inconvenient for users, as they require multiple clicks and do not allow for easy comparison of different effects, affecting user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that allow users to switch global special effects by detecting a sliding gesture on a target interface, displaying two effects simultaneously on opposite sides of the screen, and changing their display regions based on the sliding displacement, enabling easy comparison and selection of preferred effects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the user clicks a filter control to call up a filter region and then clicks a corresponding filter to switch effects, then the filter switching function is implemented, but the switching efficiency is low and the user experience is affected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic preview where the target filter effect is previewed in real-time during the sliding gesture process, allowing the user to see the effect change as they slide. This dynamic feedback mechanism eliminates the need for separate confirmation clicks, reducing the number of operations from multiple clicks to a single sliding gesture, thus improving switching efficiency and user experience
Solution Approach 2:
The patent allows the user to skip the intermediate confirmation step by using a sliding gesture that directly transitions between filters. When the user slides to a target filter position, the system rushes through the selection process by automatically applying the filter based on the sliding distance, eliminating the need to pause and confirm each selection, thereby reducing switching time
2Ease of operation
If the current display effect is directly switched to a filter effect selected by the user, then the filter is switched, but it is not convenient for the user to compare different filter effects
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a spatial dimension for comparison by displaying the target filter effect in a separate preview region alongside the current effect. This side-by-side spatial arrangement allows users to visually compare different filter effects simultaneously without losing information about either effect, making it convenient to evaluate and select the desired filter
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a visual copy of the target filter effect in the preview region, allowing users to see both the current and target effects simultaneously. This copying mechanism preserves the visual information of both filters, enabling direct comparison without switching away from the current view, thus preventing loss of effect information

AI summary
Provided are a method, an apparatus, a terminal device and a storage medium for switching global special effects. The method includes steps described below. In response to detecting a sliding gesture on a target interface, two global special effects to be switched are determined according to a sliding direction of the sliding gesture (110). During a sliding process of the sliding gesture, the two global special effects are displayed on two sides of the target interface, and display regions of the two global special effects are changed according to a sliding displacement of the sliding gesture (120). In response to detecting a release operation of the sliding gesture, a global special effect having a larger display region from the two global special effects is determined as a user-selected global special effect and is displayed on an entire region of the target interface (130).
