Solution Overview

Problem

In virtual scenes, displaying multiple types of prompt information simultaneously leads to poor readability due to information overlay when shown at the same position, and untimely display when shown one by one, resulting in low prompt efficiency.

Innovation Solution

The method involves displaying different types of prompt information in separate display regions, with each region configured based on the type of information, allowing simultaneous display without overlay and ensuring timely display by triggering the second type of information when a preset threshold is reached.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If multiple types of prompt information are displayed simultaneously at the same position, then prompt efficiency is improved, but readability deteriorates due to information overlay

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprompt efficiencyVSAvoidreadability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The interface is divided into multiple distinct display regions, with each region dedicated to displaying a specific type of prompt information. This spatial segmentation prevents information overlay while enabling simultaneous display of multiple prompt types, thus maintaining both readability and prompt efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Loss of information

If multiple types of prompt information are displayed one by one, then readability is improved, but prompt efficiency deteriorates due to untimely display

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovereadabilityVSAvoidprompt efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of displaying multiple prompt types sequentially in the same position (one-dimensional time-based display), the system transitions to a two-dimensional spatial display by allocating different display regions for different prompt types. This allows simultaneous display of multiple prompts without overlay, resolving the contradiction between readability and prompt efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Loss of information

If display regions are allocated for each prompt type, then readability is improved by avoiding overlay, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovereadabilityVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display region allocation mechanism serves multiple functions: it prevents information overlay, enables simultaneous display of different prompt types, and provides a structured framework for information presentation. This multi-functional approach improves readability without proportionally increasing interface complexity.

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

AI summary

In an information prompt method, a virtual scene interface comprising at least two display regions is displayed. Each region is configured to display a different type of prompt information. A number of the at least two display regions is based on a number of types of prompt information. A first prompt information is displayed in a first display region of the at least two display regions corresponding to a first type of prompt information. The second prompt information is displayed in a second display region of the at least two display regions corresponding to a second type of prompt information when a display time point of a second prompt information reaches a preset threshold.
