Widget Display Area Segmentation and Mode Determination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mobile phone systems are complex to operate when viewing multiple widgets, as only one widget can be displayed at a time, requiring frequent switching between them.
Innovation Solution
An information processing method and electronic device that determine a target area and display mode for multiple widgets, allowing them to be displayed simultaneously based on user preferences or historical usage patterns, reducing operational complexity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If multiple widgets are displayed in a specific area, then the user can view multiple widgets simultaneously, but the display area requires complex management and layout control
Solution Approach 1:
The display area is segmented into multiple sub-areas, with each sub-area dedicated to displaying a specific widget. This segmentation allows multiple widgets to be displayed simultaneously in an organized manner, improving user convenience while maintaining manageable complexity through structured division of the display space.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new dimension for widget management by allowing widgets to be displayed in different spatial arrangements and layers within the target area. This dimensional approach enables complex widget presentations without increasing operational complexity, as the system manages widget positions and layouts automatically in multiple dimensions.
2Device complexity
If only one widget is displayed at a time, then the display area management is simple, but the user needs to switch between widgets frequently which is complicated to operate
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple widgets that would traditionally require sequential viewing are merged into a single target display area, allowing them to be viewed simultaneously. This merging eliminates the need for frequent widget switching while maintaining simple display area management through unified control of the combined widget presentation space.
Solution Approach 2:
The target display area is designed with multi-functionality to handle various widget types and display configurations simultaneously. This universal display area can adapt to different widget combinations and layouts, providing simple management infrastructure that supports complex widget presentations without requiring separate management mechanisms for each widget.
3Ease of operation
If multiple widgets are displayed simultaneously, then user convenience is improved, but the system requires intelligent determination of display modes based on user preferences
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms to capture user preferences and behavior patterns regarding widget viewing. This feedback is used to automatically determine optimal display modes and widget arrangements, improving user convenience while the automation learns and adapts to individual user needs over time, reducing the burden of manual configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The display system provides self-service by automatically determining and adjusting display modes based on user preferences and contextual information. The system autonomously manages widget arrangements, selection priorities, and display configurations without requiring explicit user commands, thereby improving convenience while the automation handles the complexity of display mode determination internally.

AI summary
An information processing method includes determining a target area associated with a plurality of widgets that are different, determining a target display mode of the target area, and displaying the plurality of widgets in the target area based on the target display mode. Each of the plurality of widgets obtains a display content based on a target address, and the plurality of widgets are displayed differently in the target area under different display modes.
