Solution Overview

Problem

Users face complexity in viewing details of content on terminal device screens, such as small images or videos, requiring repetitive operations to enlarge or pause playback.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that dynamically display interface content by monitoring touch object coordinates on a touchscreen, determining control parameters based on preset relationships, and displaying content accordingly, allowing users to view required content with simple operations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If users perform complex operations to view content details, then content visibility is improved, but operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent visibilityVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects the user's viewing intent through touch screen interaction and autonomously adjusts the display parameters (enlargement, positioning, video playback control) without requiring the user to manually perform complex operations. The touch object's moving track serves as implicit input that triggers automated content adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The touch object acts as an intermediary between the user and the content display system. By tracking the moving track of the touch object, the system translates simple user gestures into complex display adjustments, eliminating the need for users to directly manipulate content details.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If interface content is displayed in detail, then content visibility is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent detail displayVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The interface dynamically adjusts content display parameters based on the real-time position and moving track of the touch object. The system transitions between different display states (normal view, enlarged view, video playback control) according to user interaction, providing detailed content viewability without requiring a complex static interface design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Measurement precision

If video playback is controlled through repetitive operations, then playback control precision is improved, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplayback control precisionVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically controls video playback based on the touch object's moving track, detecting user intent to pause, replay, or seek specific frames without requiring repetitive manual operations. The system self-adjusts playback state according to interaction patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-processes the touch object's moving track to anticipate user playback control needs, enabling seamless transitions between playback states and reducing the time required for frame-by-frame analysis or replay operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Aspects of the disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for displaying interface content. In an example, processing circuitry detects a moving track of a touch object on a touch screen of a terminal device. The moving track is represented by coordinates of the touch object varying along the moving track. Then, the processing circuitry determines, based on a preset relationship of the moving track and a control parameter for a control object on a user interface, a value of the control parameter for the control object that varies with the coordinates of the touch object along the moving track. The control object has content that is displayed on the touch screen. Further, the processing circuitry displays, on the touch screen, the content of the control object on the user interface according to the value of the control parameter that varies with the coordinates of the touch object along the moving track.
