Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional multi-step operations are used to process objects (finding object, tapping share button, selecting application, selecting friend), then the processing can be completed with standard system operations, but the operation process becomes cumbersome and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple separate operations (finding object, sharing, selecting application, selecting recipient) into a single drag-and-drop gesture. The user drags the object directly to the target application icon and releases it, which automatically initiates the sharing process and opens the target application with the object, eliminating the need for multiple discrete steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a virtual smart space as an intermediary layer between the object and the target application. This virtual space allows the object to be dragged and dropped directly onto the application icon, serving as a mediator that facilitates the direct transfer of the object to the application without requiring traditional menu navigation and selection processes.
2Productivity
If traditional operation sequences are followed (tapping share button, displaying application icons, selecting application), then system stability is maintained, but the number of operation steps increases and efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent displays the target application icon in advance within the virtual smart space before the user initiates the drag operation. This preliminary arrangement of the interface elements allows the user to immediately perform the drag-and-drop action without needing to navigate through multiple screens or menus to find the target application, thereby increasing processing efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new spatial dimension for object interaction by implementing a virtual smart space that overlays or exists alongside the traditional interface. In this enhanced spatial arrangement, objects can be directly dragged to application icons in a two-dimensional gesture space, eliminating the need for sequential navigation through multiple interface layers and reducing operational complexity.

AI summary
This application provides an object processing method, an electronic device, and a storage medium, and relates to the field of terminal application technologies. In the method, when an electronic device displays a first interface, the electronic device may be triggered, by using a gesture, to display a multi-layer interface. A partial area of an image of the first interface is displayed in a left-side area of the multi-layer interface, one or more application icons are displayed in a right-side area, and one or more objects are displayed in a middle area. A user drags the object in the middle area to an area above the partial area of the image of the first interface on the left side, to trigger the electronic device to display another interface of an application to which the first interface belongs. The another interface displays content related to the object. The user may alternatively drag the object in the middle area to an area above the application icon on the right side, to trigger the electronic device to display an interface of an application corresponding to the application icon. The interface displays content related to the object. In this manner, the object can be simply and quickly processed.
