Web Content Press Feedback During Slow Rendering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In low-performance devices, the slow rendering process of animations in response to user operations on Web content can lead to user confusion about the success of their actions, as existing methods like disabling the entire screen during transitions do not provide clear feedback.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus with a detection unit to identify user interactions, a rendering unit to execute the process, and a notification unit to inform users when a region is pressed again during rendering, thereby reducing confusion by indicating that the operation is ongoing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the entire screen is covered with a transparent frame to disable operations during screen transition, then double pressing is prevented, but the user cannot perform any operation including cancellation and becomes confused about operation success
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making only the operated region non-responsive during rendering instead of disabling the entire screen. The non-responsive state is localized to the specific element that triggered the rendering, allowing users to still interact with other parts of the interface while preventing accidental double presses on the same element.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback by providing visual indication (such as changing cursor appearance or displaying a message) to inform users that an operation is in progress. This feedback mechanism reduces user confusion about whether their operation was successful while maintaining the ability to cancel or perform other operations.
2Reliability
If the screen transition is disabled during rendering, then double pressing is prevented, but the rendering time is extended due to inability to cancel
Solution Approach 1:
The patent limits the non-responsive state to only the specific operated region rather than the entire screen. This allows the rendering process to be canceled or interrupted by user operations on other parts of the interface, potentially reducing the time loss while still preventing double presses on the original element.
3Reliability
If the entire screen is disabled during rendering, then operation errors are prevented, but user convenience is reduced due to lack of feedback
Solution Approach 1:
The patent provides feedback specifically at the operated region rather than disabling the entire screen. This localized feedback approach maintains user convenience by allowing interactions elsewhere while still providing necessary information about the ongoing operation's status.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms that inform users about the operation status without completely disabling interaction. Visual cues such as cursor changes or status messages provide users with information about whether their operation is processing, reducing confusion while maintaining ease of operation.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus comprising: a detection unit configured to detect a press by a user on a predetermined region of Web content; a rendering unit configured to execute rendering in response to the press; and a notification unit configured to notify the user when the detection unit detects that the predetermined region is pressed again while the rendering unit is executing the rendering.
