关于改进工具栏的10项发明:基于TRIZ的分析

10 inventions on Improving Toolbars: A TRIZ based analysis

Umakant Mishra

摘要:

图形界面是图形用户界面的流行元素之一。图形用户界面的其他流行元素是按钮、菜单、滚动条、对话框等,所有这些都提供了对GUI系统的各种功能的容易访问。工具栏的功能通常与菜单类似,但有一定的差异。菜单的优点是可以容纳大量的项目,而不需要任何额外的屏幕空间。相比之下,工具栏上的每个按钮都会永久占用屏幕上的一些空间。通过工具栏实现大量功能是不可能的,因为它们会占用越来越多宝贵的屏幕空间。然而,工具栏有一个优势,因为它提供了一个单一的点击访问任何功能,不像菜单系统,用户必须通过子菜单导航,最终发现他正在寻找的项目。本文探讨了工具栏的理想特性和高级工具栏的理想特性。从TRIZ的角度描述的矛盾和解决方案是使用发明的原则。此外,本文还从美国专利数据库中选取了10项改进工具栏的发明进行举例说明.

英文摘要:

Toolbar is one among the popular elements of a graphical user interface. The other popular elements of graphical user interface are buttons, menu, scrollbar, dialog box etc., all of which provide easy access to various functions of a GUI System. A toolbar often does a similar function as the menu but with certain differences. A menu has the advantage of holding a large number of items without needing any additional screen space. In contrast, each button on the toolbar permanently occupies some space on the screen. It is not possible to implement large number of functions through a toolbar, as they will occupy more and more valuable screen space. However, the toolbar has an advantage as it gives a single click access to any function unlike a menu system where the user has to navigate through sub-menus to ultimate discover the item he is looking for. This article explores the desired features of a toolbar and the ideal features of an advanced toolbar. The contradictions are described from a TRIZ perspective and solutions are derived using Inventive principles. Besides the article illustrates 10 inventions on improving Toolbars selected from US patent database.
