Honor has applied for a new patent that could transform the way we monitor our app usage. This innovative patent proposes a method for displaying dynamic wallpapers on mobile phones that reflect the user’s app usage time. The idea is to generate wallpapers with customizable graphics that represent the user’s app usage habits, where the size of each graphic reflects the amount of time spent on each app. Here are the details.
As discovered by ITHome on China’s State Intellectual Property Office website, Honor’s latest patent proposes a new method for displaying wallpapers on a mobile phone’s screen that is based on the user’s app usage time. It will apparently generate wallpapers with graphics that represent the user’s app usage, where the size of each graphic reflects the amount of time spent on each app.
Let’s try to put it simply. If a user spends more time on social media apps than on productivity apps, the wallpaper will display larger graphics for social media and smaller graphics for productivity apps. The benefit of this method is that it adds visual character to the phone’s screen while also providing a simple way for users to understand their app usage habits.
By simply looking at the wallpaper, users will be able to see which apps they use the most and which ones they use less frequently. This information can be useful for people who want to monitor and manage their screen time or improve their productivity by spending more time on specific apps. Overall, this patent proposes an innovative way to enhance the user’s mobile experience and provide valuable insights into app usage habits.
