Text Size Normalization Across Pages Using Saved Zoom Settings
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Displaying information on varying devices with different screen sizes poses challenges, as existing technologies do not effectively normalize text sizes across pages, leading to inconsistent user experiences and unnecessary zooming.
Innovation Solution
A method that involves receiving a first page of information, rendering it at a specific zoom setting, accepting user input to change the zoom, and saving the target text size. This target size is then used to determine subsequent zoom settings for new pages, ensuring text sizes are normalized relative to the initial setting, reducing unnecessary zooming and smoothing transitions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If different zoom settings are used for each page, then text readability is improved, but user experience consistency deteriorates due to frequent unnecessary zooming
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by saving the target text size from the first page before receiving the second page. This pre-established reference size enables automatic determination of the third zoom setting, preventing unnecessary manual zooming and maintaining consistent text sizes across page transitions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by using the saved target text size from the first page to automatically adjust the zoom setting of the second page. This feedback mechanism ensures that text sizes remain consistent across different pages, eliminating the need for users to manually adjust zoom settings and improving overall user experience consistency.
2Adaptability or versatility
If zoom settings are adjusted manually for each page, then text size customization is improved, but system complexity increases due to manual intervention requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system practices self-service by automatically determining the third zoom setting based on the saved target text size from the first page. This automation eliminates the need for manual user intervention to adjust text sizes on subsequent pages, reducing system complexity while maintaining text size customization capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies parameter changes by automatically adjusting the zoom setting parameter of the second page based on the target text size parameter saved from the first page. This automatic parameter adjustment maintains text size consistency across pages without requiring manual user input, thereby reducing system complexity.
3Ease of operation
If text sizes are normalized across pages, then user experience consistency is improved, but flexibility in displaying different text formats deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by normalizing only the text size parameter across pages while preserving other text format characteristics. The target text size is used specifically to adjust zoom settings, allowing consistent text sizing without affecting other formatting aspects, thus maintaining both user experience consistency and text format flexibility.

AI summary
A method of displaying pages of information on an electronic screen may include receiving a first page of information including first text, and rendering the first page of information including the first text on the electronic screen at a first zoom setting. After rendering the first page of information at the first zoom setting, zoom input may be accepted from a user through a user interface, and the first page of information including the first text may be rendered on the electronic screen at a second zoom setting different than the first zoom setting responsive to the zoom input. In addition, a target text size may be saved in electronic memory, and the target text size may represent a size of the first text on the electronic screen at the second zoom setting. A second page of information including second text different than the first text may be received, and a third zoom setting may be determined responsive to the target text size and responsive to the second text. The second page of information including the second text may then be rendered on the electronic screen at a third zoom setting. Related devices and computer program products are also discussed.
