Touchscreen Clipboard Gesture for Fast Data Copying
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current electronic devices with touchscreens have complex operations for copying and pasting data, leading to reduced processing efficiency and user experience.
Innovation Solution
A data processing method that enables fast copying by detecting a slide gesture on the touchscreen, allowing data to be stored in a clipboard with simplified user interaction, and displays a to-be-pasted list for efficient data selection and pasting across applications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional copying and pasting operations are used on touchscreen devices, then data can be copied and pasted between applications, but the operation steps are excessively complex and processing efficiency is greatly reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the copying and pasting operation into distinct phases: selection phase (touch and hold to select text), copying phase (tap copy control), and pasting phase (tap paste control in target application). This segmentation allows each phase to be optimized independently, reducing overall operation complexity while maintaining data processing efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-displaying the copy control and paste control in the graphical user interface. The copy control is displayed after text selection, and the paste control is pre-positioned in the target application's input area, allowing users to quickly access these functions without navigating through multiple menus or settings, thus improving both ease of operation and productivity
2Ease of operation
If multiple controls and dialog boxes are displayed for copying and pasting, then copying functionality is provided, but user interaction becomes extremely complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the essential copying and pasting functionality from complex system menus and dialog boxes, presenting only the necessary controls (copy control and paste control) directly in the graphical user interface. This extraction removes unnecessary interface elements while preserving core functionality, reducing device complexity and improving ease of operation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses visual copying of the selected text representation in the copy control, allowing users to confirm they are copying the correct content before executing the copy operation. This visual feedback mechanism simplifies user interaction by providing clear confirmation without requiring additional dialog boxes or settings
