Electronic Device Page Navigation via Touch Drag Position
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic devices with large screens face challenges in displaying multiple pages continuously, leading to discontinuous page scrolling when users interact with the device.
Innovation Solution
The method involves detecting touch drag inputs on an electronic device to perform scroll or drawing functions based on the input's starting position relative to page boundaries, using a processor to control the display and manage navigation windows, scroll pads, and perform functions like page movement, insertion, or deletion, while maintaining page continuity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If multiple pages are displayed separately on the display, then page navigation is manageable, but page continuity is lost during scrolling
Solution Approach 1:
The display area is segmented into multiple page regions with boundary lines, allowing separate page management while maintaining visual continuity. Each page can be independently navigated through touch drag operations, yet the segmentation creates a cohesive multi-page display experience.
Solution Approach 2:
Boundary lines serve as intermediaries between separate pages, providing visual cues for page transitions while maintaining the illusion of continuity. These boundary elements mediate between the need for separate page management and the desire for continuous display appearance.
2Ease of operation
If touch drag input is used for scrolling, then navigation is intuitive, but drawing function may be accidentally triggered
Solution Approach 1:
Different functional qualities are assigned to different regions: boundary line areas respond to touch drag with scroll/navigation functions, while non-boundary areas respond with drawing functions. This local differentiation ensures that the same input gesture triggers appropriate functions based on location context.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides visual feedback through boundary line display, informing users which areas will trigger navigation versus drawing functions. This feedback mechanism helps users understand the functional distinction before executing the touch drag gesture.
3Measurement precision
If boundary lines are displayed to distinguish pages, then page separation is clear, but visual continuity is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
Boundary lines are displayed with distinct visual characteristics (such as color or transparency) that differentiate them from page content while maintaining overall visual harmony. The boundary lines use subtle visual changes that provide clear separation without disrupting the continuous display appearance.

AI summary
An electronic device and a control method thereof are provided. The control method of the electronic device includes displaying at least one page from among a plurality of pages, detecting a touch drag input while the at least one page is displayed, performing a scroll function with respect to the plurality of pages according to the touch drag input based on a start point of the touch drag input being positioned in a first area, and performing a drawing function according to the touch drag input based on the start point of the touch drag input being positioned in a second area.
