Solution Overview

Problem

Existing application start methods display a fixed preset channel when an application is launched, failing to account for individual user preferences, leading to a poor user experience due to increased operational efforts in switching channels.

Innovation Solution

An application start method and apparatus that obtain historical browsing information upon user initiation, determine a target channel based on this information, and display it, thereby reducing user operations and enhancing experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a fixed preset channel is displayed when the application is started, then the system structure is simple, but the user experience deteriorates due to increased operations required to switch channels

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser operations to switch channelsVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by obtaining historical browsing information before the application is started, analyzing user preferences in advance, and determining the target channel beforehand. This allows the application to directly display the user's preferred channel upon startup, eliminating the need for users to manually switch channels and significantly improving ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by continuously obtaining historical browsing information about the user's channel selection behavior, analyzing this data to determine user preferences, and using this feedback to automatically select and display the target channel. This closed-loop feedback mechanism enables the system to adapt to user preferences dynamically while maintaining a simple interaction interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed preset channel is displayed when the application is started, then the system complexity is low, but the adaptability to user preferences deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptation to user preferencesVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of historical browsing information before the application starts, pre-determining the user's preferred channel based on past behavior patterns. This preliminary action enables the system to adapt to user preferences automatically without requiring complex real-time processing during application startup, thus improving adaptability while controlling system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements self-service by automatically obtaining historical browsing information, analyzing user preferences, and selecting the target channel without requiring user intervention. The system serves itself by using its own collected data to make intelligent decisions, enhancing adaptability to user preferences while maintaining low system complexity through automated processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If historical browsing information is obtained and analyzed to determine target channel, then user experience is improved, but the processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary processing of historical browsing information and determines user preferences in advance, before the application is actually started. By completing the analysis beforehand, the system minimizes processing time during application startup while still providing personalized channel selection, thus improving user experience without significant time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies partial action by focusing the analysis on key historical browsing information relevant to channel selection rather than processing all possible user data. This selective approach reduces computational resources and processing time while still achieving accurate target channel determination, maintaining good user experience with optimized performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Provided are an application starting method and apparatus, an electronic device, a storage medium, a computer program product and a computer program, which relate to terminal device technologies. The method includes: in response to a start instruction of an application, obtaining historical browsing information of the application, wherein the historical browsing information includes information generated during a user's browsing of an application; determining a target channel in each channel of the application based on the historical browsing information, and displaying the target channel of the application. Provided are an application start method and apparatus, an electronic device, a storage medium and a program product. Based on historical browsing information about a user corresponding to an application, a target channel preferred by the user in various channels of the application may be presumed, and after the application is started, the electronic device directly displays the target channel, thereby reducing the operations required by the user for switching to the preferred channel, and improving the user experience.
