Solution Overview

Problem

Users frequently misoperate between different display interfaces in the same application, leading to security risks and data inconsistencies, particularly in operations like payment transactions.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device displays a first interface with a sign indicating a second interface, locking the target operation transaction in both interfaces to prevent misoperations, allowing users to view but not perform actions on these transactions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple display interfaces with the same operation transaction are allowed to be accessed simultaneously, then user convenience and interface versatility are improved, but the risk of misoperation and data security degradation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface versatilityVSAvoiddata security
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating the accessibility state of different interfaces. The first interface maintains normal operation permissions while the second interface (accessed via split screen) has its operation permissions restricted. This localized differentiation allows each interface to have appropriate access control based on its access method, resolving the contradiction between interface versatility and data security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Ease of operation

If the user can freely switch between different display interfaces, then ease of operation is improved, but the likelihood of misoperation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface switching convenienceVSAvoidmisoperation risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary anti-action by proactively restricting operation permissions on the second interface before misoperation can occur. When the split screen interface is activated, the system automatically sets the operation permission state to restricted, preventing potential misoperations while still allowing the user to view and switch between interfaces freely.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

3Reliability

If operation permissions are restricted on split screen interfaces, then data security is improved, but user operational flexibility deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata securityVSAvoidoperational flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the operation permission management into different segments for different interfaces. Instead of applying a uniform permission restriction across all interfaces, the system segments permission control based on the specific interface and access method, allowing the first interface to maintain full operational flexibility while the second interface has restricted permissions, thus balancing security and usability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
