Video Call Interface Gesture Layout Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing solutions for controlling the display of video call interfaces rely on buttons and controls that occupy space and affect the appearance, necessitating an improvement in user experience and interface flexibility.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that utilize gesture operations to switch between different layout modes of video call interfaces, including determining the current layout mode and detecting gesture operations to switch to another layout mode based on preset conditions, eliminating the need for physical buttons and enhancing interface flexibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If buttons and controls are used to control display of video call interface, then layout mode switching is achieved, but interface space is occupied and appearance is affected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the layout mode switching function from physical buttons and controls, removing these components from the interface. The switching functionality is achieved through gesture operations on existing interface elements, thereby freeing up interface space while maintaining the core functionality of layout mode switching.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes existing interface elements (such as video windows or background areas) serve multiple functions: they act as both display areas for video content and as control areas for layout mode switching through gesture operations. This eliminates the need for dedicated buttons while preserving the switching capability.
2Ease of operation
If buttons and controls are added to the interface, then layout mode switching is enabled, but interface appearance is degraded
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes traditional buttons and controls from the interface design, extracting the layout switching functionality and implementing it through gesture-based interactions with existing visual elements. This preserves the clean appearance of the interface while enabling layout mode switching.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces gesture operations as an intermediary mechanism between the user and the layout switching function. Instead of direct button clicks, users perform gestures on interface elements, which then trigger layout changes. This intermediary approach maintains visual simplicity while providing operational control.
3Ease of operation
If traditional control methods are used, then layout switching is achieved, but user experience is reduced due to space occupation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the interface elements themselves to serve the dual purpose of being both displayed content and control targets. Video windows or interface backgrounds can be directly interacted with through gestures to trigger layout switching, making the interface self-sufficient and eliminating the need for separate control mechanisms that would reduce user experience.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic gesture-based control that adapts to the current interface state. Different gesture operations can trigger different layout switching behaviors based on the current layout mode, providing a more adaptable and versatile user experience compared to static button controls.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a method and apparatus for controlling display of a video call interface, a storage medium and a device. The method includes: determining a current layout mode of the video call interface, detecting a gesture operation acting on the video call interface, and when it is determined that the gesture operation satisfies a preset switch condition corresponding to the current layout mode, controlling the video call interface to switch to another corresponding layout mode. By adopting the above technical solution, the gesture operation can be used to switch the layout mode of the video call interface effectively and conveniently, switching entrance such as buttons can be omitted, so as to save space of the video call interface, and the appearance of the video call interface is also made more pretty.
