Spliced Mobile Icons With Intelligent Function Linkage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current spliced icons on mobile devices do not respond intelligently to user interactions, leading to suboptimal user interaction efficiency.
Innovation Solution
An icon splicing method that allows users to select functions from multiple icons for splicing, creating a spliced icon that supports intelligent linkage between these functions, enhancing interaction efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If traditional spliced icons are used, then display space is reduced, but user interaction efficiency deteriorates due to lack of intelligent response
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple icons into a single spliced icon that contains multiple sub-icons, each representing different functions. When a user interacts with the spliced icon, the system intelligently determines which sub-function to execute based on the interaction type and contextual information, thereby maintaining compact display while enabling efficient multi-functional access
Solution Approach 2:
The spliced icon is designed as a universal interface that can perform multiple functions through a single icon. The icon includes multiple sub-icons representing different applications or functions, and the system intelligently routes user interactions to the appropriate sub-function, making the spliced icon a multi-functional element that improves both space utilization and interaction efficiency
2Productivity
If multiple separate icons are displayed, then user interaction efficiency is maintained, but display space increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple separate icons are merged into a single spliced icon that visually combines multiple sub-icons. The system maintains the functional independence of each sub-icon while presenting them in a compact unified form, allowing users to access multiple functions from a single location on the display
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a nested structure where multiple sub-icons are contained within a single spliced icon. Each sub-icon represents a distinct function or application, and they are nested within the parent spliced icon structure, creating a hierarchical organization that saves display space while preserving functional accessibility

AI summary
This application provides an icon splicing method and a related device, and relates to the field of electronic devices. In the method, a terminal device may display a first icon, and display a second icon in response to an operation of triggering splicing of the first icon; display, in response to an operation of selecting the second icon and the first icon for splicing, options of a plurality of functions corresponding to the second icon; and display, in response to an operation of selecting an option of a second function, a spliced icon of the first icon and the second icon. The second function includes one or more of the plurality of functions corresponding to the second icon. The spliced icon has a function of supporting linkage between a first function and the second function. The first function includes one or more of a plurality of functions corresponding to the first icon. The spliced icon supports the linkage between the first function and the second function, so that the spliced icon responds more intelligently to a user interaction action, and user interaction efficiency can be effectively improved.
