Auxiliary Content Display via Semantic Nesting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile devices face challenges in minimizing screen space for auxiliary content, which consumes extra space and clutters the user interface, making it cumbersome for users.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method that processes selected content by tokenizing, segmenting, and parsing it to generate a semantic representation, determining a theme, and displaying auxiliary content relevant to the selected content, allowing it to replace or be displayed alongside the original content, thereby optimizing screen space.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If auxiliary content (recommendations and suggestions) is displayed to engage users, then user engagement is improved, but screen space is consumed and the interface becomes cluttered
Solution Approach 1:
The patent embeds auxiliary content within the structure of main content by inserting recommendations and suggestions inside existing content containers (such as within article text, product descriptions, or news feeds). This nesting approach allows auxiliary information to be displayed without occupying additional screen real estate, as it utilizes the space already allocated for main content.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions auxiliary content from a traditional horizontal/vertical layout that competes for screen space to a layered dimensional structure where auxiliary content exists in an overlay or embedded dimension. This allows recommendations to appear as pop-ups, side panels, or integrated elements that do not block the main content view, effectively adding a new spatial dimension for information display.
2Loss of information
If auxiliary content is displayed prominently, then information delivery is improved, but the main content goes unnoticed and the interface becomes clumsy
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different display qualities and styles to auxiliary content based on its location and context within the interface. Rather than using a uniform prominent display method, the system adapts the appearance, size, and emphasis of auxiliary content to match the local context, ensuring it is noticeable but does not dominate or clutter the overall interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces intermediary elements such as contextual cues, indicators, or subtle visual markers that mediate between the main content and auxiliary content. These intermediaries guide user attention to auxiliary information without creating visual conflict or clutter, allowing both main and auxiliary content to coexist harmoniously in the interface.

AI summary
A system and method for minimizing a requirement of screen space of displaying auxiliary content based on selected content are provided. The method includes following steps of (a) obtaining an input to select the content displayed in at least one of (i) a webpage or (ii) an application, and triggering the selected content; (b) processing the selected content; (c) generating a semantic representation of the selected content from the parse tree data structure; (d) determining a theme for the selected content based on the semantic representation of the selected content; (e) determining a template, that matches with the theme; (f) providing named entity extracted values in the template based on the semantic representation of the selected content; (g) obtaining the auxiliary content associated with the selected content and (h) displaying the auxiliary content in a screen space where the selected content is displayed.
