Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional content sharing applications lack the ability to provide users with enhanced interaction and interaction awareness by displaying interactive information associated with multimedia content, and often restrict viewing of clear multimedia content based on user permissions, limiting the overall user experience.

Innovation Solution

The method and apparatus enable the display of blurred multimedia content with clear interactive information items, and allow switching between multimedia contents by adjusting their display sizes, determining a primary content, and displaying interactive information items in a dynamic mode, while also supporting user interaction through interfaces for further engagement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If clear version of multimedia content is restricted based on user permissions, then content security and copyright protection are improved, but user interaction awareness and engagement are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent securityVSAvoidinteraction awareness
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the multimedia content display into two distinct components: a blurred content area that maintains security restrictions, and a separate interactive information area that displays clear interaction data. This segmentation allows the system to simultaneously enforce content protection while preserving full interaction awareness for users, resolving the contradiction between security and engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary layer consisting of interactive information items (comments, likes, shares) that mediate between the restricted blurred content and the user's interaction needs. Users can engage with the content through these interactive elements without needing to view the clear content, thus maintaining both security and interaction quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If only blurred content is displayed to users without permission, then content protection is improved, but user engagement and interaction quality are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent protectionVSAvoiduser engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the blurred content display with a separate interactive information panel into a unified user interface. This combination allows users to simultaneously view protected content (in blurred form) and engage with clear interaction elements, maintaining both content protection and user engagement without requiring separate interfaces or actions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic behavior where interactive information items are displayed in real-time alongside the blurred content. The interactive panel can expand, collapse, or update dynamically based on user interactions, providing an engaging experience that adapts to user behavior while the blurred content remains protected in the background.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple multimedia contents are displayed simultaneously, then content variety and user choice are improved, but interface complexity and primary content identification are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent varietyVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality differentiation by displaying multiple multimedia contents with varying degrees of blur and interaction visibility. The primary content receives enhanced visual treatment and full interaction access, while secondary contents remain blurred with limited interaction, allowing users to easily identify and focus on the main content while still perceiving content variety in the interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

According to embodiments of the disclosure, a method, apparatus, device and storage medium for information display are provided. The method includes in response to a target multimedia content to be presented to a first user, determining whether the first user has a permission to view a clear version of the target multimedia content. If it is determined that the first user has no permission to view the clear version of the target multimedia content, displaying a blurred version of the target multimedia content; and displaying an interactive information item associated with the target multimedia content in a clear mode. In this way, the interactive information items associated with the multimedia content can be displayed while the blurred version of the multimedia content is displayed, so as to provide more rich and interesting information display.
