A control method that ensures a specific badge corresponding to a predetermined character is initially displayed, followed by random selection from sub-groups, with relaxed step requirements and animations to enhance user engagement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If random selection of icons is used, then user engagement is improved, but the ability to display desired badges deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-categorizes icons into groups associated with specific symbols before the selection process. When a symbol is displayed, the corresponding icon group is pre-prepared and ready for selection, ensuring that desired badge types can be reliably displayed while maintaining engagement through random selection within the pre-defined groups.
2Reliability
If strict conditions are set for badge display, then badge value is improved, but user satisfaction deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The icon selection process is segmented into multiple levels: first, a symbol is selected from multiple symbols; then, an icon is randomly selected from the group associated with that symbol. This segmentation allows the system to maintain overall structure and value while providing randomness and engagement at each level, balancing badge value with user satisfaction.
3Adaptability or versatility
If all symbols are made available immediately, then user choice is improved, but service sustainability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically controls which symbol groups are available for selection based on progression conditions. As users meet certain criteria, new symbol groups are unlocked, gradually expanding their choices. This dynamic approach maintains service sustainability by controlling the pace of content release while improving user choice over time.

AI summary
Disclosed is a method for controlling a display device that includes a first screen displaying icons and a second screen displaying symbols, including: determining whether a first condition is satisfied, and in response to the first condition being satisfied, selecting one icon and allowing the selected icon to be displayed on the first screen; and determining whether a second condition related to selecting the icon is satisfied, and in response to the second condition being satisfied, selecting a symbol corresponding to the selected icon and allowing the selected symbol to be displayed on the second screen. When none of the symbols is allowed to be displayed on the second screen, the selecting one icon includes selecting a specific icon corresponding to a predetermined specific symbol. When one or more of the symbols are allowed to be displayed on the second screen, the selecting one icon includes randomly selecting an icon.
