Solution Overview

Problem

Current terminal wallpaper technologies offer limited dynamic display effects, primarily presenting static or simple moving images, failing to engage users with interactive and varied visual experiences.

Innovation Solution

A terminal wallpaper control method that detects flick operations on a touchscreen and changes specific zones of the wallpaper dynamically, altering parameters such as shape, color, size, or location, and adding dynamic patterns in response to user interactions, providing unique display effects with each flick.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If static wallpaper is used on terminal screen, then power consumption is low and system simplicity is maintained, but user engagement and visual interest are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual experience varietyVSAvoidwallpaper control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms static wallpaper into dynamic wallpaper by detecting user flick operations and automatically adjusting display parameters (brightness, saturation, contrast) in real-time. The wallpaper transitions from a fixed state to a dynamically adjustable state based on user interaction, resolving the contradiction between visual variety and system simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables wallpaper to self-adjust its display parameters by automatically detecting flick operations and modifying its own visual properties without requiring manual user configuration. This self-service mechanism provides enhanced visual experience while maintaining operational simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If simple moving images are used for wallpaper, then system complexity is reduced, but interactive engagement and display effect diversity are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteractive display effectsVSAvoidwallpaper control mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a feedback loop where flick operations are detected and immediately translated into parameter adjustments of the wallpaper. This real-time feedback mechanism creates interactive engagement while maintaining relatively simple control logic, as the system only needs to monitor touch events and adjust display parameters accordingly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes display parameters (brightness, saturation, contrast) of the wallpaper dynamically in response to flick operations. By modifying existing parameter values rather than switching between multiple complex wallpaper files, the system achieves diverse display effects with minimal added complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If static wallpaper remains unchanged, then power consumption is minimized, but user engagement and visual interest deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagement levelVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The wallpaper updates its display parameters periodically in response to user flick operations rather than continuously. This periodic update mechanism maintains visual interest and user engagement while minimizing power consumption by avoiding constant rendering and processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

AI summary

Embodiments of the present invention provide a terminal and a terminal wallpaper control method, which relate to the communications field, and are applied to a terminal equipped with a touchscreen, so that different display effects may be presented on static wallpaper that is set by the terminal. The method includes: when the terminal detects a flick operation on the touchscreen and the flick operation meets a preset condition, the terminal changes, corresponding to the flick operation, display content of a random N% zone in wallpaper displayed on the touchscreen, where display content of another zone in the wallpaper except the N% zone remains unchanged, and N is an integer greater than or equal to 1 and less than 100; and when the terminal detects that the flick operation stops, changing display content of the wallpaper is stopped, and a changed N% zone and a 1-N% zone that remains unchanged are presented.
