Solution Overview

Problem

The operation of modifying the position of the Wi-Fi calling (vowifi) shortcut switch in the control center interface of an electronic device does not take effect consistently, leading to a diminished user experience.

Innovation Solution

The electronic device saves the user-modified position of the vowifi switch and displays it consistently across SIM card insertions and removals, ensuring the switch is displayed at the desired location, even when there are no empty positions available, thereby improving user experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the vowifi switch position is modified by the user, then the interface aesthetics and usability are improved, but the modification does not take effect consistently when SIM card is removed and reinserted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidmodification persistence
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The electronic device saves the user-modified position of the vowifi switch in advance (before SIM card removal) in a database. When the SIM card is reinserted, the device retrieves the previously saved position information and applies it, ensuring the modification persists across SIM card operations without requiring the user to modify the position again.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If the vowifi switch is displayed at a custom position, then user experience is improved, but the switch may not be displayed correctly when no empty positions are available

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveswitch position customizationVSAvoidswitch display position accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extends the display area by introducing a second interface (beyond the traditional control center interface). When the SIM card is reinserted and the custom position is retrieved, if the original position is no longer available (no empty positions), the device can display the vowifi switch at the same relative position in the second interface, ensuring the customization intent is preserved while adapting to the current interface state.

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

AI summary

An interface display method and a related apparatus are provided, related to the field of terminal technologies. The method includes: when a user modifies a position of a vowifi switch displayed in a control center interface, an electronic device can save a modification operation of the user. When a SIM card is inserted into the electronic device again, the saved position, of the vowifi switch, previously modified by the user may be obtained, so that the position at which the vowifi switch is displayed is the position modified by the user. In this way, modification of the user on the position of the vowifi switch may take effect, thereby improving user experience.
