Touch Screen Conducting Area for Automatic Desktop Background Color Matching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods require manual setting of desktop background colors on electronic devices, which is inconvenient, especially when using protective covers, and do not automatically match the cover's color.
Innovation Solution
An automatic method that uses a protective cover with a conducting and non-conducting area to generate information, which is matched against preset data to set the desktop background color consistently with the cover's color, utilizing a control system to receive and process this information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual setting of desktop background color is required, then user can customize the color, but user convenience deteriorates and operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects the protective cover color and sets the desktop background color without user intervention. The electronic device serves itself by using the touch screen to detect the conducting area pattern, identify the cover color, and automatically configure the matching desktop background color, eliminating the need for manual user setting operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the desktop background color parameter automatically based on the detected protective cover color. By monitoring changes in the cover color parameter and automatically adjusting the corresponding desktop background color parameter, the system resolves the contradiction between ease of operation and device complexity.
2Stability of the object's composition
If protective cover color matching is implemented automatically, then aesthetic consistency improves, but device complexity increases due to additional detection mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The touch screen serves as an intermediary that performs dual functions: displaying information and detecting the protective cover color through its conducting area. By using the existing touch screen as the detection intermediary, the system achieves color matching without adding separate detection hardware, thus improving aesthetic consistency while minimizing device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The touch screen is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: it serves as both the display interface and the color detection sensor. The conducting area on the touch screen acts as both a touch-sensitive element and a color-detecting element, allowing the system to achieve protective cover color matching without adding extra components.
3Measurement precision
If conducting area pattern is used to identify cover color, then color detection accuracy improves, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The conducting area is segmented into specific geometric patterns (such as different shapes, sizes, or arrangements) that correspond to different protective cover colors. This segmentation allows the system to accurately identify the cover color by detecting which specific pattern is present, improving measurement precision while keeping the manufacturing process relatively simple.

AI summary
An automatic method of setting a desktop background color is disclosed. The method is used for setting a desktop background color of an electronic device such that the desktop background color corresponds to a color of a protective cover, wherein a cover body of the protective cover for covering a touch screen of the electronic device has a conducting area and a non-conducting area. The method includes the following steps: receiving protective cover information generated by the touch screen touching the conducting area; determining whether the protective cover information is in accordance with one of a plurality of preset protective cover information stored in the electronic device; if the protective cover information is in accordance with one of the plurality of preset protective cover information, setting the desktop background color displayed by the touch screen according to color information corresponding to the preset protective cover information.
