Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Reading efficiency is low when users scroll through long articles in browsers, as they struggle to quickly locate specific content like pictures or paragraphs, leading to inefficient browsing.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that extend the virtual button bar to include mode selection buttons, allowing users to switch between text, picture, and multimedia display modes, enabling the application to display only the selected type of content, thereby improving reading efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users scroll through long articles using slide gestures to read entire content, then users can access all content, but reading efficiency is low and users cannot quickly locate specific content types
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display content by content type (text, picture, multimedia) and provides separate mode selection buttons for each type. Users can select to view only text content, only picture content, or only multimedia content, thereby quickly locating specific content types without scrolling through the entire article.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent dynamically adjusts the display mode based on user selection. The system transitions between different display states (text-only mode, picture-only mode, multimedia-only mode) according to the mode selection button pressed, enabling flexible and efficient content access.
2Productivity
If the virtual button bar displays multiple mode selection buttons for different content types, then users can quickly access specific content, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The virtual button bar, which originally served general navigation functions, is extended to also serve content type filtering functions. By adding mode selection buttons to the existing virtual button bar, the system achieves multi-functionality without requiring a completely separate control interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The mode selection buttons act as intermediaries between the user and the content display system. These buttons mediate the user's intent to view specific content types by triggering corresponding display mode changes, simplifying the interaction while maintaining system functionality.

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses a method and a device for displaying content, and relating to information display field. The method includes: displaying (101) at least one mode selection button in a virtual button bar, in which the mode selection button is configured to trigger an application to enter a corresponding display mode, and different types of content are displayed in the application under different display modes; receiving (102) a selection signal for selecting the mode selection button; and sending (103) a display instruction to the application according to the display mode corresponding to the selected mode selection button. The display instruction is configured to instruct the application to enter the corresponding display mode. Embodiments of the present disclosure functionally extend the virtual button bar in the related art, when more content is displayed in the application, it is convenient for the user to quickly screen reading content, thereby improving user's reading efficiency.
