Touch Trace Content Scraping for Mobile Terminals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile terminal systems do not provide a function to simultaneously scrape multiple contents displayed on a screen, requiring users to manually draw around each content to select and store it, which is inefficient.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that recognize a touch trace on a screen to select and store content, using a touch screen, storage unit, and controller to enable accurate scraping of content in its original state, allowing for the selection and storage of multiple contents with a single manipulation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a user manually draws around each content using an electronic pen to scrap content, then the content can be selected and stored, but the process becomes inefficient when multiple contents need to be scrapped
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate drawing operations into a single continuous touch trace operation. By allowing the user to draw one continuous line that passes through multiple contents, the system combines what would have been multiple separate scraping operations into one unified action, thereby improving productivity and reducing the time required.
Solution Approach 2:
The touch trace function serves multiple purposes: it identifies multiple contents simultaneously, determines their spatial relationship (overlapping or adjacent), and triggers appropriate scraping operations. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for separate operations for each content, resolving the efficiency problem.
2Adaptability or versatility
If existing systems provide individual content scraping function, then accurate selection of single content is achieved, but simultaneous scraping of multiple contents is not provided
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adapts its behavior based on the touch trace pattern. When a touch trace passes through multiple contents, the system automatically determines their spatial relationship and applies appropriate scraping logic. This dynamic response enables versatile multi-content scraping while maintaining simple user interaction, as the user only needs to draw once regardless of how many contents are involved.

AI summary
A content scraping method includes recognizing a touch trace made on a screen according to a touch location moving to correspond to a touch input and selecting and storing at least one content located on the touch trace.
