Terminal Device Control Region Extension for Single-Line Text Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing character string display methods on terminal devices often result in line breaking, reducing reading efficiency due to the limited length of control regions, which affects user interaction and readability.
Innovation Solution
A method that processes control regions to form reset control regions with increased length, allowing character strings to be displayed without line breaking by adjusting the length of the reset control regions and managing character string placement to avoid line breaks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Length of stationary object
If the character string is displayed in a line breaking manner to fit the control region length, then the character string can be displayed within the control region, but the reading efficiency of the user is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extends the control region in the horizontal dimension by merging adjacent control regions when the character string length exceeds the original control region length. This dimensional extension allows the full character string to be displayed on a single line without breaking, thereby maintaining reading efficiency while accommodating longer text content.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges multiple adjacent control regions into a single extended control region to provide sufficient display space for long character strings. By combining the display areas of multiple control regions, the system enables single-line display of character strings that would otherwise require line breaking, thus improving reading efficiency.
2Productivity
If the control region length is extended to display longer character strings without line breaking, then the reading efficiency is improved, but the interface layout and text editing requirements may be affected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic control region extension mechanism that automatically adjusts the control region length based on the character string content. When a character string exceeds the original control region length, the system dynamically merges adjacent control regions to extend the display area. This dynamic adjustment maintains the original interface layout for normal cases while adapting to accommodate long character strings when needed, without requiring complex manual layout configurations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the length parameter of the control region dynamically based on the character string content. By monitoring the character string length and adjusting the control region length parameter accordingly, the system enables single-line display for long strings while maintaining the original control region dimensions for shorter strings, thus avoiding unnecessary interface layout complexity.
3Shape
If the control region length is preset for interface drawing requirements, then the interface layout is maintained, but character strings longer than the control region length must be displayed with line breaking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic adjustment to the otherwise preset control region length. The control region length is determined based on the character string content: for strings within the original length, the preset control region length is maintained to preserve interface layout; for longer strings, adjacent control regions are merged to extend the length dynamically, enabling single-line display and improving reading efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the control region length parameter conditionally based on the character string length. When the character string length exceeds the preset control region length, the system increases the control region length by merging adjacent regions. This parameter change allows the interface to maintain its original layout for normal cases while adapting to display long character strings without line breaking when necessary.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention provide a character string display method and a terminal device. The method includes: processing, by a terminal device, at least two control regions based on control information, to form at least two reset control regions satisfying a first target condition, where the first target condition is: any two neighboring reset control regions in the at least two reset control regions in a landscape direction of the display are connected; and displaying a character string in any one of the at least two reset control regions. In the method in the embodiments, a length of the reset control region is greater than a length of the control region, and a length of a character string that can be displayed in the reset control region is greater than a length of a character string that can be displayed in the control region, so that a quantity of lines of a character string displayed in a reset control region can be reduced effectively, and efficiency of reading, by a user, a character string displayed in a reset control region is improved.
