Solution Overview

Problem

Current application control methods are limited in flexibility, leading to low user interaction and high user attrition rates, as they primarily rely on simple operation controls like likes and favorites without diversifying user experiences.

Innovation Solution

An application control method that acquires and displays multimedia resources based on historical data from a second application, allowing for more flexible control modes by executing operation instructions and presenting multimedia content tailored to the user's account history.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If simple operation controls (like and favorite) are used, then the control mode is simple and easy to operate, but the flexibility is low and user interaction is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidflexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by transforming static operation controls into dynamic multimedia resources. Instead of fixed like/favorite buttons, the system displays multimedia content (images, videos, animations) that changes based on user interactions and historical data, making the control interface adaptive and engaging while maintaining ease of use

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameters of the control interface by replacing simple binary states (liked/not liked) with rich multimedia parameters. The system retrieves and displays multimedia resources based on user account history, operation frequency, and content characteristics, transforming the control mechanism into a multi-parameter system that enhances both flexibility and user engagement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Device complexity

If simple operation controls are used, then the device complexity is low, but user retention rate is reduced and user attrition rate is high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice complexityVSAvoiduser retention rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary layer between the user and the application content. This intermediary is the multimedia resource display mechanism that retrieves and presents personalized content based on user history. The intermediary enriches the user experience without requiring complex direct interactions, thereby improving retention while managing complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements self-service by automatically retrieving and displaying multimedia resources based on pre-stored user account history and operation patterns. The system serves itself by leveraging existing data to personalize the interface without requiring complex user input or configuration, thus improving retention while keeping the system manageable

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If operation controls are made more flexible with multimedia resources, then user interaction is enhanced, but the complexity of acquiring and managing historical data increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveflexibilityVSAvoidcomplexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-acquiring and storing user operation history and content preferences before the user needs personalized multimedia resources. The system proactively collects data during normal usage and stores it in the user account, so that when multimedia resources need to be displayed, the data is already ready for immediate retrieval and processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses copying by creating a simplified data model of user preferences and operation history that can be efficiently retrieved and processed. Instead of working with complex raw data, the system creates copies of essential user information (account history, operation frequency, content characteristics) that can be quickly processed to generate personalized multimedia resources without overwhelming complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

An application control method includes: acquiring a multimedia resource, the multimedia resource being based on historical data of an account that is logged into a second application, the account being the same as an account that is logged into a first application; and acquiring an operation instruction for the first application, executing the operation instruction in the first application, and displaying the multimedia resource.
