Dynamic User Interface Attribute Adjustment for Search Result Visibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional search engines face challenges in presenting search results effectively, as the user interface often overlays or obscures relevant information due to the layering of windows, leading to visual interference and a need for manual adjustments to alleviate this interference.
Innovation Solution
The system automatically determines user interface attributes by detecting areas of non-primary content and creating a content display with associated attributes, such as size, position, and transparency, to optimize the presentation of search results without obscuring other important information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If search results are displayed in a list format with windows layered on top of other windows, then search results can be presented, but visual interference occurs and relevant information is obscured
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from traditional 2D window layering to a 3D spatial arrangement where search result windows are positioned in three-dimensional space around the user's field of view, allowing multiple windows to be visible simultaneously without overlapping or obscuring each other
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts window attributes (position, size, transparency) based on user interaction patterns, focus state, and spatial relationships, allowing the interface to adapt automatically without manual user adjustment
2Object-affected harmful factors
If manual adjustment of window attributes is required to alleviate interference, then visual clarity can be improved, but user operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically manages window arrangement and attributes without requiring user intervention. The interface self-adjusts by detecting user focus, interaction patterns, and spatial relationships to optimize the display configuration
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors user interactions and window states, using this feedback to automatically adjust window positioning, sizing, and transparency to maintain optimal visual clarity
3Productivity
If conventional window layering is used to present search results, then search functionality is maintained, but space utilization is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
By utilizing three-dimensional spatial arrangement instead of 2D layering, the system maximizes the use of available display space, allowing multiple search result windows to be simultaneously visible without reducing the overall display area

AI summary
Systems and methods for determining a user interface attribute are described. In one method described, a display processor receives a request to display a content display in a user interface, detects an area of the user interface comprising non-primary content, and creates a content display having an attribute, the attribute associated with the area of the user interface comprising non-primary content. Such a method may also include modifying the attribute in response to changes in the area of the user interface comprising non-primary content.
