Solution Overview

Problem

Users of handheld electronic devices with touch screens face cumbersome and time-consuming operations to open and adjust application program interfaces, leading to an unfavorable user experience due to repetitive adjustments for display position and size.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that utilize a touch screen to recognize a triggering gesture for an application icon, determining if the current operation state matches a historical opening scene, and automatically display the application interface in a pre-set state based on this scene, eliminating the need for manual adjustments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users manually open and adjust application program interfaces each time, then the application can be opened, but the operation becomes cumbersome and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation convenienceVSAvoidtime for opening and adjusting interface
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-records the user's preferred interface display state (position, size, etc.) from historical opening scenes. When the same opening scene is detected again, the system automatically applies the pre-recorded display state without requiring user adjustment, thus performing the adjustment action in advance and eliminating repetitive manual operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system provides multiple display state adjustments, then the interface can be customized to user preferences, but the number of operation steps increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface customizationVSAvoidnumber of operation steps
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects the opening scene and applies the corresponding preferred display state without requiring user intervention. The system serves itself by autonomously selecting and applying the appropriate interface configuration based on the detected scene, eliminating the need for users to navigate through multiple adjustment options.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If the system automatically detects opening scenes and applies preferred states, then operation efficiency is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses a universal approach by detecting opening scenes based on common elements (application icon, background image, etc.) that appear in various contexts. This multi-functional detection mechanism can identify different opening scenes using the same underlying logic, allowing the system to handle diverse scenarios without requiring separate complex detection algorithms for each case.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A handheld electronic apparatus and a method for opening an operation interface of an application program are provided. The method for opening the operation interface of the application program is suitable for a handheld electronic apparatus including a touch screen. The method includes the following steps. An icon of an application program is displayed on a function menu through the touch screen. A triggering gesture applied to the icon is received through the touch screen. It is determined whether a current operation state of the handheld electronic apparatus matches a historical opening scene of the application program. When the current operation state of the handheld electronic apparatus matches the historical opening scene of the application program, a first interface display state corresponding to the historical opening scene is obtained, and the operation interface of the application program is displayed according to the first interface display state through the touch screen.
