Suspended Button Pressure Gesture for Blocked Icon Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The presence of a suspended button on mobile electronic device screens blocks other content, making it inconvenient for users to perform operations on the blocked areas, leading to complex and uncomfortable user interactions.
Innovation Solution
The method involves detecting the pressure intensity of a touch gesture on the suspended button, determining if it exceeds a response threshold, and if so, checking if the button overlaps with a display icon, thereby invoking the corresponding function of the icon, such as enabling applications or generating preview information, or implementing a screenshot function based on specific gesture patterns.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the suspended button is displayed on the topmost of the screen display layer for ease of operation, then the user can easily access the suspended button, but other content on the display screen is blocked and user operation on the blocked part becomes inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces pressure sensing as an intermediary mechanism between the suspended button and the blocked content. By detecting pressure intensity values, the system mediates between the suspended button's need to be accessible and the underlying content's need to be operable, allowing indirect access to blocked content through pressure-based gestures without requiring movement of the suspended button
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of touch interaction from simple tap detection to pressure intensity detection. By monitoring the pressure intensity value during touch gestures, the system enables differentiated operations: standard taps trigger suspended button functions while prolonged presses with sufficient pressure trigger operations on the blocked underlying content, thus resolving the blocking issue without moving the button
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the suspended button is moved to allow user operation on the blocked part, then the blocking issue is resolved, but the operation steps become complex and use comfort decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the blocked content to serve itself through the suspended button's pressure detection capability. The underlying content can be activated directly through pressure gestures on the suspended button without requiring the button to move or the user to perform complex multi-step operations, thus maintaining simplicity while resolving the blocking issue

AI summary
The present application discloses example information processing methods and electronic devices. One example method includes obtaining a touch gesture operation on a suspended button, and determining, according to the gesture operation, a first pressure intensity value that acts on the suspended button. If a determination is made that the first pressure intensity value is greater than a response pressure threshold, a detection process occurs to determine whether a display location of the suspended button overlaps with a first display icon displayed on a desktop of an electronic device. If it does, a function corresponding to the first display icon is invoked.
