Solution Overview

Problem

Users face inconvenience in switching between different display pages on terminal devices, requiring manual operations to navigate from a default main interface to other interfaces, which can be time-consuming and inefficient.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for page processing that allows a first interface to be switched to a main interface based on user operations, with the option to display the setting page when preset conditions regarding usage frequency and time are met, enabling direct display of the first interface after a preset operation, such as pressing the home button, without manual switching.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the default main interface is displayed after preset operation, then the terminal provides a standard return function, but the user cannot directly access the first interface without manual switching

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveInterface switching convenienceVSAvoidTime for manual switching
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by recording the first interface before the preset operation occurs. When the preset operation (pressing home button) is detected, the system automatically switches to the pre-recorded first interface without requiring manual switching from the user, thus eliminating time loss and improving operation convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If the setting page is displayed to allow interface switching, then the user can customize their interface, but the user must manually perform switching operations

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveInterface customization capabilityVSAvoidManual switching requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service by automatically detecting the preset operation and autonomously switching to the first interface without requiring manual user intervention. The system serves itself by using the recorded first interface information to automatically perform the switching action that would otherwise require user manipulation of the setting page.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If the first interface is always displayed, then the user always sees their customized interface, but the system cannot maintain the default main interface as expected

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveDirect interface accessVSAvoidDefault interface consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies dynamics by making the displayed interface changeable based on user actions. The interface dynamically switches between the default main interface and the first interface depending on whether the user performs the preset operation. This dynamic behavior allows the system to maintain reliability (default interface) when needed while providing ease of operation (direct access) when the user activates the preset operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Provided are a method and device for page processing. The method includes that: a first switching operation on a setting page is received from a user; a first interface is switched to a main interface based on the first switching operation, the first interface and the main interface being different interfaces before switching; and when a preset operation is detected, the first interface is displayed, the preset operation being used for instructing a terminal to display the main interface.
