Solution Overview

Problem

Current interface display technologies require cumbersome user operations to achieve an immersive status bar effect, leading to inefficient and inconsistent visual experiences due to the mismatch between application page and status bar backgrounds.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for interface display that automatically acquire and configure the background information of an application page area adjoining to a system bar, such as a status bar, to ensure consistency in background color or picture, thereby simplifying the process and enhancing the immersive effect without requiring additional user operations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If users manually select background color from color list or interface to achieve immersive effect, then the status bar and application page can have consistent visual effect, but the operation becomes cumbersome and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual consistencyVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects the application page background color and applies it to the status bar without user intervention. The status bar configuration system serves itself by autonomously acquiring background information from the application page area adjoining to the status bar and configuring its own background based on this information, eliminating the need for users to manually select colors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary detection of the application page background color before the user needs to configure the status bar. By monitoring application page replacement and pre-acquiring background information, the system prepares the necessary color data in advance, so when the status bar needs configuration, the matching color is already available, making the整个过程 seamless and automatic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If users select wrong background color for status bar, then the desired immersive effect will not be achieved and the interface appears fragmented, but the user may not realize the selection is incorrect until after configuration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimmersive effect achievementVSAvoidcolor selection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system establishes a feedback mechanism where the status bar background configuration is directly linked to the detected application page background. The system continuously monitors whether the status bar background matches the application page background and automatically adjusts if they diverge. This real-time feedback ensures the immersive effect is maintained without requiring users to judge color compatibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary mechanism that automatically detects and translates the application page background color into the appropriate status bar background color. This intermediary process includes acquiring background information from the application page area, processing this information to determine the appropriate color, and applying it to the status bar, thereby eliminating the need for direct user selection and judgment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of manufacture

If the status bar has a fixed background color while the application page background color varies, then the status bar is simple to implement, but the interface appears inconsistent and produces poor user experience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation simplicityVSAvoidvisual consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The status bar background color transitions from a fixed static value to a dynamic value that automatically adapts to the application page background. The system implements dynamic detection of application page background colors and dynamically updates the status bar background accordingly. This dynamic behavior maintains the simplicity of implementation while achieving visual consistency, as the system automatically handles the color matching without complex user configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of status bar background color from a fixed constant to a variable that responds to application page background parameters. By monitoring changes in application page background color parameters and automatically adjusting the status bar background color parameter to match, the system maintains implementation simplicity while achieving visual consistency across different applications and themes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

The implementations relate to a method and a device for interface display and an electronic device thereof. The method may include acquiring background information of an application page area adjoining to a system bar and configuring background of the system bar based on the background information. The background information may include related information reflecting a background color of the application page area. Therefore, users do not need to perform extra operations such as selecting colors. In addition to simplifying procedures and improving efficiency, the method may further avoid defragmented effects due to inconsistency between tones of the system bar and a control adjoining to the system bar. The method may provide a good visual effect for the users while presenting system information.
