Standby Screen Function Layout Adaptation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing function execution apparatuses display all available function buttons on a standby screen, making it difficult for users to find specific functions, especially when the display area is limited, leading to an unfriendly user interface for users who rarely use certain functions or are unfamiliar with the device.
Innovation Solution
The apparatus executes an inquiry process to gather usage frequency information for each function and sets the standby screen to display function images based on this information, prioritizing frequently used functions and hiding less frequently used ones, allowing for a customized and user-friendly interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If all function buttons are displayed on the standby screen, then all available functions are visible, but the screen becomes cluttered and difficult to navigate when the display area is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The standby screen is segmented into multiple pages, with each page displaying a subset of function buttons. Users can navigate between pages to access different functions, reducing clutter on each individual screen while maintaining access to all functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The arrangement of function buttons on the standby screen is dynamically adjusted based on usage frequency. Frequently used functions are positioned in more visible or accessible locations, while less frequently used functions are placed on subsequent pages or less prominent positions, optimizing the interface for each user's specific needs.
2Productivity
If frequently used functions are prioritized on the standby screen, then user efficiency is improved, but the screen must be customized based on individual usage patterns
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically monitors and analyzes user interaction patterns with various functions, then autonomously reconfigures the standby screen layout based on this data. This self-adjusting mechanism eliminates the need for manual user configuration while optimizing function accessibility according to actual usage behavior.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback loop where user interactions with functions are continuously tracked and analyzed. This feedback information is used to dynamically adjust the standby screen arrangement, creating a progressively optimized interface that adapts to individual user preferences and usage patterns over time.

AI summary
A function execution apparatus including an input unit and a display unit configured to display a standby screen for displaying function images arranged thereon. The function images represent a plurality of functions executable by the function execution apparatus. The function execution apparatus further includes a controller configured to execute an inquiry process to make an inquiry about frequency in use of each individual function of the plurality of functions, receive, via the input unit, usage frequency information about the frequency in use of each individual function of the plurality of functions, set the standby screen to a first screen configured to display thereon the function images arranged based on the received usage frequency information, and in response to setting the standby screen to the first screen, control the display unit to display the first screen as the standby screen.
