Innovation Solution

A method and system that allows users to flexibly configure animations on electronic devices by downloading theme packages and setting animation parameters through user interfaces, enabling customization and enhancement of user experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed animation is provided on the electronic device, then the animation can be executed reliably, but the user cannot independently change the animation, reducing user experience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanimation customizationVSAvoidconfiguration system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The animation configuration system transitions from a static fixed animation to a dynamic configurable animation. Users can select different animation types (loading animation, success animation, failure animation, retry animation) and adjust parameters through a configuration interface, making the animation adaptable to different user needs while maintaining system functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system allows users to change animation parameters such as animation type, duration, and behavior through configuration interfaces. The configuration information is stored and applied to modify the animation execution, enabling customization without changing the core system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If users can independently configure animations, then user experience is improved, but the configuration interface and theme package system increase device complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser configuration capabilityVSAvoidtheme package system
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses theme packages that contain pre-configured animation settings and visual elements. Users can download and install theme packages that copy complete animation configurations, avoiding the need to manually create complex configurations from scratch while still achieving customization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The configuration interface and theme package system serve multiple functions: selecting animation types, adjusting parameters, applying themes, and managing different animation scenarios (loading, success, failure, retry). This multi-functional approach consolidates complexity into a unified system rather than separate mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

An animation configuration method and an electronic device are disclosed. The method includes: detecting a theme download request for a second electronic device, and displaying a first interface, where the first interface includes a theme list, and a running condition of a theme in the theme list matches device information of the second electronic device; detecting a selection operation for a first theme in the theme list, and obtaining a theme package of the first theme, where the theme package of the first theme includes first information, and the first information indicates an animation parameter value of an animation; and sending the theme package of the first theme to the second electronic device, for the second electronic device to update an animation parameter value of an animation in the second electronic device based on the first information. According to embodiments of this application, flexible setting of an animation on an electronic device by a user can be implemented, and user experience can be improved.
