Unified Touch Display Interface for Multi-Source Event Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face complexity in switching between different social network and micro-blog interfaces, leading to difficulties in information integration and time management due to non-unified interfaces and frequent login requirements, resulting in reduced user willingness and efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A touch display device and method that integrates information from various sources onto a single frame using a time indicating unit, allowing users to intuitively manage event times and relationships, with orientation sensing technology for direct operation and reduced interference.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If multiple community websites or micro-blogs are opened simultaneously to obtain information, then information completeness is improved, but device complexity and operation complexity increase due to frequent login/logout and interface switching
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple community website and micro-blog interfaces into a single unified interface. The system collects information from multiple sources and displays them together in one frame with text descriptions and annotated times, eliminating the need for users to switch between multiple applications or websites while maintaining information completeness from all sources.
2Ease of operation
If event information is displayed with text descriptions and annotated times only, then information organization is improved, but user understanding of time relationships deteriorates as users cannot instinctively grasp starting time, ending time, or elapsed time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms one-dimensional text-based time annotations into a two-dimensional visual timeline display. The system presents time information both as text descriptions and as a visual timeline with marked positions for starting times, ending times, and elapsed times, allowing users to intuitively grasp time relationships through visual spatial representation while maintaining organized information structure.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the display frame is limited and multiple application programs must be opened frequently, then information source diversity is improved, but user convenience deteriorates due to frequent login and logout requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal interface that can access and display information from multiple different community websites and micro-blogs simultaneously. The system integrates multiple information sources into a single application, providing multi-functionality that eliminates the need for frequent login/logout operations while maintaining access to diverse information sources through one unified interface.

AI summary
An information integration method applied to a touch display device includes the steps of displaying a time indicating unit on the touch display device, obtaining at least one event information, and displaying the event information as at least one information display unit on the touch display device in accordance with time data associated with the event information and in correspondence with the time indicating unit. A touch display device performing the information integration method is also disclosed.
