One advantage of iPad OS over Android can be surpassed by the function of browser #6464
Description
This technology can be implemented in the operating system of mobile intelligent devices or in the browser. Mainly for PAD users.
I wonder if you have noticed that Apple iPad has a major functional advantage over Android Pad, that is, when users hold Android Pad with their left hand, their left thumb must not touch the screen area, otherwise their right hand cannot operate the touch screen normally. However, when using the Apple iPad, the user's left hand holds the screen area, while the fingers of his right hand can still operate the iPad normally, but occasionally misoperation occurs.
As can be seen from the following figure, the left thumb cannot touch the screen, resulting in a very awkward holding posture. Moreover, the holding is unstable, which is easy to break the equipment.
The PAD based on Android system does not have the same functions as Apple iPad. This should not be caused by the difference in the level of programmers. It is likely that Apple has set a patent barrier for this technology.
I have a technology. It can be applied to browsers or operating systems such as Android. Solve the problem that narrow border PAD is difficult to hold. It allows the user to hold the screen with his left hand continuously (he can change his right hand), and his right hand can also perform screen operations normally. My technology adopts the idea of handling touch events in different zones. It does not conflict with Apple's technology. And it can achieve a more perfect user experience than similar functions on Apple's iPad. This technology has been granted an invention patent in China.
The advantage of Apple's iPad is that it doesn't need to specify a button area when operating, and it can intelligently identify any position you press. The advantage of this technology is that the button area also has the function of screen scratching and page turning, that is, the thumb slightly rubs when pressing the button area all the time to achieve the function of screen scratching and page turning for the browser. This cannot directly use the original touch event and the traditional mode of translating into gestures, but needs to use programs to translate the touch event into gestures specifically. The gestures in the button area and other areas need to be coordinated to ensure that the two do not conflict.
If we just make a simple non functional button area so that the left thumb can hold the screen area, this technical solution may conflict with Samsung's global PCT patent.
However, if our button has more functions, such as slightly rubbing the thumb that has been pressed in the screen area, and can control the screen turning, it does not conflict with Samsung's patent. And the user experience is better.
This scheme specifies a button area. This virtual button can be called out at any position, or eliminated, and returned to the traditional operation mode. This button can be implemented with browser code, or it can be implemented by injecting code into the html of the web page to generate a balloon. The touch events occurring in this button area are processed in specific areas and recognized as no gesture (no "touch down") or screen gesture output according to specific rules.
There are many ways to call out or close this button area. For example, small horizontal screen strokes, short vertical screen strokes, or long press at the edge of the screen. When the program is done, it will be adjusted according to the actual user experience.
This mode is particularly suitable for browsing web pages and watching short videos, such as TikTok. 95% of the user's operations are page turning operations, and this system can be easily operated by one hand. Another advantage of this function is that the thumb will block part of the screen content. You can see the content originally blocked by the thumb by rubbing the thumb and moving the screen content up and down.
I want to seek partners to implement this technology on Android or browser. In China, I have patent protection for this technology. In other countries, you are not bound by patents, but you are likely to face competition from many plagiarists. I have detailed introduction materials. If you are interested in this technology, please contact me.
