Terminal Image Display via Fingerprint Input Area
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in viewing images clearly due to the obstruction of the image display area when trying to magnify thumbnails on a terminal, leading to a compromised visual experience.
Innovation Solution
An image display method that allows users to select a target thumbnail from a group displayed on the screen by inputting on a different area, such as a fingerprint recognition area, and display the magnified image in a floating window, enabling multiple images to be viewed simultaneously without obstructing the original image display area.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a user taps a thumbnail to magnify it for viewing, then the image can be viewed in detail, but the image display area is blocked by the operation area
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a fingerprint recognition area as an intermediary input area that is separate from the image display area. Users can perform selection operations on thumbnails through this intermediary area, which transmits the selection signal to the system without requiring direct interaction with the image display area, thus avoiding blocking while maintaining detailed viewing capability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes a second screen or fingerprint recognition area as an additional dimensional space for input operations. By moving the interaction from the two-dimensional image display plane to a separate input dimension, the system enables detailed image viewing without blocking the display area, as the operation and display occur in different spatial dimensions
2Quantity of substance
If multiple thumbnails are displayed on the screen, then more images can be viewed simultaneously, but it becomes difficult to avoid blocking the image display area during operation
Solution Approach 1:
The fingerprint recognition area serves as an intermediary that decouples the operation area from the display area. Users can select from multiple thumbnails displayed on the screen by interacting with this separate intermediary area, maintaining ease of operation while avoiding blocking issues even when multiple images are displayed simultaneously
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the terminal interface into distinct functional areas: an image display area for viewing thumbnails and a separate fingerprint recognition area for input operations. This segmentation allows multiple thumbnails to be displayed without compromising operational convenience, as user interactions occur in the segregated input area rather than competing with the display space
3Loss of information
If a user needs to switch between multiple images to compare them, then all images can be viewed, but the operation becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The separate fingerprint recognition area enables efficient image comparison by allowing users to select multiple thumbnails for magnified display without the complexity of sequential switching. The intermediary input area facilitates batch selection and simultaneous display of multiple images, reducing the time required for comparison while maintaining complete information access
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges multiple magnified image displays into a single viewable area, allowing users to compare multiple images simultaneously rather than switching between them. This combining approach, controlled through the intermediary fingerprint recognition area, eliminates the time loss associated with sequential image switching while preserving complete comparison capability

AI summary
An image display method includes: in a case that at least two thumbnails are displayed on a first screen of the terminal, receiving a first input performed by a user for a target area; selecting a target thumbnail from the at least two thumbnails in response to the first input; and displaying a magnified image corresponding to the target thumbnail. The target area is an area different from display areas of the at least two thumbnails.
