Touch Panel Process Execution via Selection-Instruction Mapping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic devices with touch panels face challenges in improving operability, particularly in efficiently executing processes based on user interactions with displayed information.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device equipped with a touch panel display screen, a screen operation identification module, and a process execution module that associates selection operations with execution instructions, allowing users to perform simple gestures like sliding to execute specific processes stored in correspondence information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If multiple operations are required to execute a process, then the process execution is more precise and controllable, but the operability and user efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple operations (selection operation + execution instruction operation) into a single integrated operation. When the user performs a selection operation on displayed information, the system automatically executes the associated process without requiring separate execution instructions. This merging of operations improves ease of operation while maintaining process control through the predefined correspondence between information and processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service execution where the selected information automatically triggers its associated process. The correspondence information stored in the device allows the system to autonomously determine which process to execute based on the user's selection, eliminating the need for additional manual execution commands and thereby improving operability.
2Ease of operation
If simple gestures are used to execute processes, then operability improves, but the precision and control of process execution may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-establishing correspondence information that links displayed information with specific processes and their execution conditions. Before the user interacts with the interface, the system has already prepared the mapping between information items and processes. When the user performs a selection operation, the system retrieves the pre-defined correspondence to execute the correct process, ensuring both simplicity and reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by providing visual indication when information is selected and by executing only the process that corresponds to the selected information. The screen operation identification module detects the selection and triggers the appropriate process based on the stored correspondence, ensuring that the simple gesture of selection reliably controls the intended process execution.
Data Source
AI summary
A storage part stores therein correspondence table in which a displayed information use process and an execution instruction operation for instructing execution of the displayed information use process are registered in association with each other. When a screen operation identification part identifies that, subsequent to a selection operation for selecting information displayed on a display screen, the execution instruction operation has been performed on the display screen, the process execution part executes the displayed information use process associated with the execution instruction operation in the correspondence table, with use of the information selected by the selection operation.
