Smart Terminal Locking Screen Function Display Method
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of smart terminals are often unaware of new functions and their usage methods, leading to a suboptimal user experience due to the lack of clear information on these features.
Innovation Solution
A smart terminal information display method that detects a locking event, displays a list of specific functions and their use methods on the screen, and enters the locking screen interface once the information is read, allowing users to easily access and understand new features without affecting normal usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the smart terminal displays information about new functions and usage methods, then user understanding of functions is improved, but the locking screen process is delayed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by displaying function information before the user completes the locking operation. When a locking gesture is detected, the system interrupts the immediate locking process and presents a popup window with new function information, ensuring users are informed before the lock state is finalized. This resolves the contradiction by prioritizing information delivery while still completing the locking function subsequently.
2Ease of operation
If the smart terminal provides detailed function information, then user experience is improved, but the interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the information presentation by using a popup window that overlays the current screen rather than navigating to a separate detailed page. The function information is divided into discrete, readable segments within the popup, allowing users to quickly scan and understand new features without encountering a complex multi-page interface. This maintains ease of operation while managing interface complexity.
3Loss of information
If the smart terminal displays function information during locking, then function awareness is improved, but the locking speed is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by providing a condensed summary of new function information in the popup window rather than exhaustive details. The information is presented in a truncated, essential format that delivers key function awareness quickly, then allows users to proceed with locking. This partial information delivery improves function awareness while minimizing the time penalty compared to comprehensive information presentation.

AI summary
Disclosed are a smart terminal information display method and a smart terminal. The smart terminal information display method comprises: a smart terminal detecting an input locking event for locking a screen thereof; in response to the locking event, displaying information containing a specific function and a usage method on the screen; and entering a screen locking interface. By means of the method, the present invention can not only enable a user to easily acquire new function information about a smart terminal, thereby improving the user experience, but can also make full use of a screen locking background of the smart terminal, thereby expanding the functions of the smart terminal, and further improving the user experience.
