Solution Overview

Problem

The separation of the key handle from the lasso trajectory and target area after box-selection on a touch control screen leads to poor user experience and visual perception in electronic devices.

Innovation Solution

A display control method that determines the key handle on the lasso trajectory based on intersection points with the box selection trajectory, ensuring its attachment and stability during transformations such as zoom, rotation, and window changes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the key handle is generated separately from the lasso trajectory after box-selection, then the transformation control function is achieved, but the visual perception and user experience deteriorate due to separation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidvisual perception
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the key handle with the lasso trajectory by determining the key handle's location on the trajectory itself (using intersection points or proportional distances along the trajectory path). This ensures the key handle remains visually attached to the selected area boundary, improving user perception while maintaining transformation control functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the key handle location is fixed after generation, then the generation process is simple, but the key handle cannot adapt when the target area or window size changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to window changesVSAvoidcontrol stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic key handle positioning by recalculating its location on the lasso trajectory whenever the target area changes, window size changes, or transformation operations occur. The key handle's position is determined by dynamic parameters such as proportional distances along the trajectory or intersection points that adapt to the current state, ensuring continuous visual attachment and functional stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Reliability

If the key handle is determined based on intersection points with box selection trajectory, then the attachment to lasso trajectory is maintained, but the determination process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattachment stabilityVSAvoiddetermination process
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary determination of the key handle's initial position on the lasso trajectory using intersection points with the box selection trajectory or proportional distance calculations. This initial positioning establishes a reliable attachment point that serves as a foundation for subsequent dynamic adjustments, ensuring the key handle remains properly positioned without requiring complex real-time recalculation for every state change.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
