Touch Zooming for Dynamic Folder Item Detail Level
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current touch interaction technologies require frequent page switching to change the level of detail of folder item information, leading to a poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that allow for quick changes in the level of detail of folder item information by calculating the size of a zoomed display area based on touch points, acquiring corresponding data sources, and displaying the folder item accordingly, without the need for page switching.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If page switching is used to change the level of detail of folder item information, then the detail information can be displayed, but the operation becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adjustment of folder item display detail through touch zooming operations. The display dynamically transitions between different levels of information detail (summary view vs. detailed view) based on the user's zooming gesture, eliminating the need for static page switching. The system detects touch points and calculates zoom ratios to dynamically render appropriate detail levels within the same window.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the display parameter (level of detail) by interpreting touch zooming gestures as parameter adjustment commands. When users perform zoom-in or zoom-out operations, the system adjusts the detail parameter of folder item information accordingly, switching between concise and detailed views without changing pages. This parameter-based control simplifies the interaction model.
2Loss of information
If page switching is performed frequently to change detail levels of multiple folder items, then all items can be viewed in detail, but the time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables dynamic, real-time adjustment of information detail for multiple folder items simultaneously through touch zooming. Instead of sequentially switching pages for each item, users can zoom to adjust the detail level of all visible items at once, dramatically reducing the time required to view detailed information across multiple items.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent maintains continuous useful action by allowing users to smoothly zoom in and out to adjust detail levels without interrupting the viewing flow. The zooming operation provides continuous control over information detail, eliminating the discrete, time-consuming page switching process and enabling seamless transitions between different levels of detail for multiple items.
3Productivity
If touch zooming is implemented to change display area size, then the level of detail can be adjusted quickly, but the calculation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex manual page navigation mechanics with touch-based zooming mechanics. The system substitutes the mechanical page switching process with a more intuitive touch gesture system where zooming directly controls detail level. This substitution simplifies the user interaction model while the system handles the calculation complexity internally through automated touch point analysis and zoom ratio computation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically calculating the zoom ratio and determining the appropriate detail level based on touch gesture analysis. Instead of requiring users to manually configure complex parameters, the system self-adjusts the display detail by detecting touch points, computing zoom ratios, and rendering appropriate information levels automatically, reducing the perceived complexity for users.
Data Source
AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method and an apparatus for providing folder project information based on a touch operation. The method includes: determining positions of touch points on a display screen; calculating, according to the positions of the touch points, a size of a zoomed display area of a folder item; acquiring a data source that is of the folder item and needs to be displayed, where the data source of the folder item corresponds to the size of the zoomed display area; and displaying the folder item according to an acquired data source and the size of the zoomed display area. According to the embodiments, the level of detail of folder item information in the window may be quickly changed without the need of page switching, thereby improving user experience with simple and quick operation.
