Touch Screen Auxiliary Icon Positioning for Smooth Action Indication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional touch screen control methods often result in a stop-start effect when displaying action indication regions due to inconsistencies between the user's actual click position and the displayed auxiliary operation icon, leading to inefficient user interactions.
Innovation Solution
A touch screen-based control method and apparatus that displays an auxiliary operation icon at the user's actual click position, with an auxiliary control region fully displayed on the interface, ensuring the action indication region's relative position within the action range candidate region remains consistent with the user's click position, thereby preventing the stop-start effect and achieving smooth display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the auxiliary operation icon is displayed at a fixed position or inconsistent position, then the display layout is simple, but the action indication region shows stop-start effect and user interaction efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses the first relative coordinate of the auxiliary operation icon as feedback to dynamically calculate and adjust the second relative coordinate of the action indication region, ensuring consistent relative positioning and eliminating stop-start effects during user interaction
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter representation from fixed absolute coordinates to dynamic relative coordinates, allowing the action indication region to adapt its position based on the auxiliary operation icon's position, thus improving interaction smoothness without significantly increasing system complexity
2Reliability
If the auxiliary control region is adjusted to be fully displayed, then the display completeness is improved, but the positioning accuracy of the action indication region becomes more difficult to maintain
Solution Approach 1:
The auxiliary control region is designed to be dynamically adjustable, moving and resizing to ensure full display while maintaining the relative coordinate system that preserves positioning accuracy of the action indication region within the dynamically changing boundary
3Adaptability or versatility
If the action range candidate region is larger than the auxiliary control region, then the operational flexibility is improved, but the coordinate mapping complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display area is segmented into two independent regions: the auxiliary control region for icon manipulation and the action range candidate region for action selection. Each region maintains its own coordinate system, simplifying the mapping relationship between them while allowing independent sizing and positioning

AI summary
A method, information processing apparatus, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are provided. In the method, a first touch point on a touch screen display is detected. The first touch point is associated with a first icon displayed on the touch screen display. An auxiliary operation icon corresponding to the first icon at a position corresponding to the first touch point, an auxiliary control region that includes the auxiliary operation icon, and an action range candidate region in a displayed scene are output for display on the touch screen display. A first relative coordinate of the auxiliary operation icon within the auxiliary control region is determined. Further, a second relative coordinate of an action indication region to be displayed within the action range candidate region is determined according to the first relative coordinate.
