Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wallpaper images on mobile devices are typically fixed and ignore user interactions, reducing their functional significance during device usage.

Innovation Solution

A wallpaper display control method and apparatus that dynamically control an object layer and background layer of a wallpaper image to execute distinct display animations based on different animation parameters when the screen is lit, enhancing user interaction and highlighting the object layer.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If fixed wallpaper images are used, then the device structure remains simple, but the user interaction function is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction functionVSAvoidwallpaper control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The wallpaper image is transformed from a static display to a dynamic interactive interface. Different layers of the wallpaper (object layer and background layer) can execute different animations and respond to user gestures, making the wallpaper adaptive and versatile while maintaining reasonable system complexity through modular layer management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The wallpaper is divided into multiple independent layers (object layer and background layer), each capable of independent animation and interaction. This segmentation allows different parts of the wallpaper to have different functions, improving user interaction while keeping each layer's control logic relatively simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Shape

If layered animation effects are applied, then the visual distinction is improved, but the processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual distinctionVSAvoidanimation processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The wallpaper is segmented into object layer and background layer, allowing independent animation control for each layer. This creates clear visual distinction between foreground and background elements while managing processing complexity through separate animation pipelines for each layer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different animation parameters and effects are applied to different layers of the wallpaper. The object layer and background layer can have different animation speeds, types, and responses to user input, creating local visual quality variations that enhance overall visual distinction without requiring complex global processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
