Split-Screen Display Locking for Multi-Interface Efficiency
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional smart terminal displays can only show one application interface at a time, leading to complex and inefficient user operations when switching between multiple interfaces, such as viewing WeChat official account content and replying to messages.
Innovation Solution
A split-screen display method that allows an electronic device to display multiple application interfaces simultaneously, enabling users to lock display content in specific areas for improved user operation efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the display shows only one application interface at a time, then the display content is simple and clear, but the user operation efficiency deteriorates due to frequent switching between interfaces
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is segmented into multiple independent display areas, with each area capable of showing a different application interface simultaneously. This allows users to view and operate multiple interfaces at the same time without switching, thereby improving operation efficiency while maintaining clear and simple display content in each segment.
2Ease of operation
If the display shows multiple application interfaces simultaneously, then the user operation efficiency improves, but the display interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display is divided into multiple independent areas where each area can display a different application interface simultaneously. This segmentation allows users to operate multiple applications without switching, improving ease of operation while keeping each display area relatively simple and manageable.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the display configuration by allowing users to freely switch, enlarge, or minimize application interfaces in different display areas. This dynamic flexibility enables the display to adapt to different user needs, improving operational ease while managing complexity through user-controlled interface arrangement.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the user frequently switches between multiple display interfaces, then the user can access different application functions, but the operation complexity increases and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the display into multiple areas that can simultaneously show different application interfaces, users can access various application functions without switching. This maintains high adaptability and versatility while significantly reducing operation complexity and improving user experience.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple application interfaces are merged into the same display space, allowing them to be viewed and operated simultaneously in different display areas. This combining approach enables users to access diverse application functions without the need for frequent switching, thereby reducing operation complexity while maintaining versatility.

AI summary
A split-screen display method and an electronic device are provided. The method may be applied to the field of human-machine interaction. The method includes: A user enters an operation for a split-screen display area, for example, taps a lock control in a split-screen display area; and the electronic device locks display content in the split-screen display area in response to the operation. In this way, display content in a split-screen display area can be conveniently locked, to improve user operation efficiency.
