Solution Overview

Problem

The process of displaying image information by a terminal is slow and requires multiple user actions, such as clicking buttons, which can lead to incorrect operations and increased operation time.

Innovation Solution

A method where the terminal automatically displays image information when a user rotates it to a preset angle within a specific duration, eliminating the need for additional user actions like button clicks, using sensors to detect rotation angles and durations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the terminal requires multiple user actions (clicking buttons) to display image information, then the operation process is more controlled and accurate, but the operation time increases and user efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation speedVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal automatically displays image information by detecting rotation gestures without requiring user clicks. The system serves itself by using sensor data to trigger the display action, eliminating the need for manual button presses and significantly reducing operation time while maintaining accuracy through gesture recognition

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical click operation with a rotational gesture detection system using sensors. The physical rotation of the terminal is detected and converted into a trigger signal for displaying image information, substituting manual button pressing with a more efficient gesture-based control mechanism

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Loss of time

If the terminal automatically displays image information through rotation detection, then the operation time is reduced, but the risk of accidental triggering increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation timeVSAvoidtrigger accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system requires the rotation angle to reach a preset threshold value rather than triggering on any small rotation. This partial action requirement ensures that only significant, intentional rotations trigger the display, filtering out minor accidental movements while still enabling rapid response to valid gestures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors rotation angle and duration in real-time, providing feedback control to determine whether to trigger the display. By monitoring both the threshold reach and the duration of rotation, the system can distinguish between intentional gestures and accidental movements, improving trigger accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

The present application provides a method and an apparatus for displaying image information. The method comprises: acquiring a rotation angle reported by a sensor configured for detecting the rotation angle of a terminal; acquiring, based on the sensor, a rotation duration of the rotation of the terminal; determining whether the reported rotation angle reaches a preset threshold value; determining whether the rotation duration is shorter than a preset duration; and when the reported rotation angle reaches the preset threshold value, and when the rotation duration is shorter than the preset duration, displaying image information. Applying the application's embodiments, image information can be automatically displayed just through rotating a terminal by a user. Since a user does not need to click a button for displaying image information, the operation time can be reduced, so that a terminal quickly displays the image information, and the situation of the user clicking a wrong button can also be avoided, thereby achieving the accurate display of the image information.
