Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display picture adjustment methods in games require multiple operations, leading to cumbersome adjustments due to the need for additional controls, which reduces screen adjustment efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A method that automatically adjusts the display picture in response to a drag operation, determining a touch position within a trigger region to set an adjustment speed, allowing the target object to be quickly placed at a desired location without additional controls.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If additional adjustment controls (roulette, switch key) are added to the screen, then the picture adjustment function is achieved, but the display space is occupied and multiple operations are required making the operation cumbersome

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepicture adjustment operationVSAvoidadjustment control
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the picture adjustment function from the traditional UI control elements (roulette, switch key) and integrates it directly into the drag operation mechanism. By removing the need for separate adjustment controls and using the existing drag function to trigger automatic picture adjustment, the system reduces operational complexity while maintaining adjustment capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The drag operation is given multiple functions: it serves both as the primary interaction mechanism for moving objects and as the trigger for automatic picture adjustment. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate adjustment controls, reducing the number of elements required on the screen while maintaining comprehensive functionality.

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

2Productivity

If traditional adjustment controls are used, then the picture adjustment function is provided, but multiple operations are needed to adjust the specified position into the display picture, reducing adjustment efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepicture adjustment efficiencyVSAvoidadjustment operation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary calculation of the required picture adjustment based on the drag operation parameters before the drag operation completes. By pre-calculating the adjustment amount and direction, the system can execute the picture adjustment automatically and quickly without requiring multiple manual operations, thus improving adjustment efficiency and reducing time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system establishes a feedback loop where the drag operation triggers automatic picture adjustment, and the adjusted picture is immediately displayed to confirm the change. This real-time feedback mechanism ensures that the picture adjustment responds instantly to user actions, improving operational efficiency and reducing the time required for adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If the picture adjustment is manual requiring multiple operations, then the adjustment control is simple, but the screen adjustment efficiency is low and the operation is cumbersome

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen adjustment efficiencyVSAvoidadjustment operation
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The picture adjustment system performs self-service by automatically calculating and executing the adjustment based on the drag operation. Instead of requiring manual control through separate interfaces, the system uses the drag operation itself as the control signal, enabling automatic adjustment that improves both efficiency and ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

This application discloses a method for updating a virtual scene performed by an electronic device. The method includes: displaying a first scene picture of a virtual scene in a display interface; determining a current position of a continuous trigger operation in the display interface; and when the current position satisfies a picture adjustment trigger condition, adjusting the virtual scene picture in the display interface at an adjustment speed according to the current position.
