Terminal Device Map Display Regions for Resource Point Distinction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of terminal devices face difficulty in distinguishing different task-oriented resource points on a small map due to similar display modes, leading to reduced operation efficiency in resource contention operations.
Innovation Solution
A method and terminal device implementation that involves determining distinct display regions on the screen, associating target objects with specific display modes based on their states, and mapping these objects into designated regions for clear visual differentiation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If display modes of different task-oriented resource points are made similar to maintain visual consistency, then the display screen can maintain a unified appearance style, but users cannot visually distinguish different resource points leading to reduced operation efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making different parts of the display have different visual characteristics. Specifically, different task-oriented resource points are displayed with different display modes (different colors, shapes, or icons) while the overall map maintains a unified appearance. This allows users to visually distinguish between different resource points (improving information delivery) while keeping the map style consistent (maintaining ease of operation).
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes color changes to differentiate between various task-oriented resource points on the map. Each resource point type is represented by a distinct color or color combination, enabling users to quickly identify and distinguish different resource points without changing the overall map theme. This directly addresses the contradiction by providing visual differentiation (improving information delivery) while maintaining a cohesive map appearance (preserving ease of operation).
2Productivity
If a small map is displayed on the display screen to show location and channel information, then service efficiency is improved and user convenience is enhanced, but the limited display space makes it difficult to distinguish different resource points
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making different parts of the display have different visual characteristics. Specifically, different task-oriented resource points are displayed with different display modes (different colors, shapes, or icons) while the overall map maintains a unified appearance. This allows users to visually distinguish between different resource points (improving information delivery) while keeping the map style consistent (maintaining ease of operation).
Solution Approach 2:
The patent resolves the space constraint by utilizing the dimensional space of the small map effectively. Instead of trying to display all resource points with full detail, the system uses visual encoding (colors, shapes, icons) to represent multiple resource point types within the limited space of the small map. This dimensional approach allows differentiated display modes to coexist in a compact layout, maintaining both service efficiency and visual distinguishability.
