Solution Overview

Problem

Existing techniques for viewing and modifying transfers on electronic devices are cumbersome and inefficient, requiring multiple key presses and wasting user time and device energy, particularly in battery-operated devices.

Innovation Solution

Implementing faster and more efficient user interfaces that provide visual feedback on reward availability and application through intuitive user interactions, reducing the need for redundant inputs and conserving power.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If existing techniques are used for viewing and modifying transfers, then the interface provides basic functionality, but the user interface becomes complex and time-consuming with multiple key presses

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interface simplicityVSAvoidtime for transfer operations
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple transfer-related functions (viewing, modifying, applying rewards) into a single integrated user interface screen. This merging eliminates the need for multiple key presses and navigation steps, allowing users to perform transfer operations and manage rewards in one consolidated interface, thereby reducing both complexity and time required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The user interface is designed to handle multiple functions universally - displaying transfer information, showing reward availability, allowing reward application, and providing visual feedback all within the same interface. This multi-functional design reduces the need for separate interfaces or multiple interaction steps for different transfer-related tasks.

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

2Use of energy by moving object

If existing techniques are used for viewing and modifying transfers, then basic transfer management is possible, but device energy is wasted through redundant inputs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice power consumptionVSAvoidtransfer operation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The interface provides immediate visual feedback through dynamic indicators that show when rewards are available and when they have been applied. This feedback mechanism eliminates redundant inputs by clearly communicating the system state, allowing users to understand transfer and reward status without needing to perform additional verification steps or interpret ambiguous interface states.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-displays reward availability information and visual indicators before the user completes a transfer operation. By showing reward status in advance and providing clear visual cues about the current state, the system prepares the user for the next action, eliminating the need for redundant inputs or repeated checks during the transfer process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If existing techniques are used for viewing and modifying transfers, then transfer functionality is provided, but cognitive burden on the user increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecognitive burdenVSAvoidtransfer and reward status information
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The interface uses dynamic visual indicators and color changes to communicate reward status and transfer information. Visual elements change to reflect whether rewards are available or applied, providing intuitive, easily distinguishable information that reduces cognitive burden. Users can quickly understand the state of transfers and rewards through visual cues rather than interpreting text or requiring multiple interface interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes
