Book Information Display Method for Skipped Chapter Continuity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Chapter skip reading in book applications leads to discontinuity in content, causing users to lose interest and abandon books, resulting in reduced reading probability and experience.
Innovation Solution
A book information display method and apparatus that presents a table of content page, detects non-consecutive chapter progress, determines chapter key information for unstarted chapters between skipped chapters, and displays this information in the table of content page to enhance user engagement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If users skip chapters during reading, then reading speed increases, but reading continuity deteriorates and user interest decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism (table of contents display module) that mediates between skipped chapters. When a user skips from chapter 1 to chapter 3, the system displays the table of contents showing chapter 2's key information as an intermediary, allowing the user to understand the skipped content without actually reading it, thus maintaining reading continuity while preserving reading speed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-extracting and storing key information from each chapter before the user needs it. When chapter skipping occurs, this pre-prepared key information is immediately displayed in the table of contents, allowing users to quickly grasp the content of skipped chapters without disrupting their reading flow.
2Productivity
If users skip chapters to read important content, then reading efficiency improves, but information completeness deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts key information from each chapter and stores it separately in the table of contents. When users skip chapters, they can still access this extracted key information through the table of contents display, ensuring they don't miss important content while maintaining reading efficiency. This extraction mechanism separates essential information from full chapter content.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies local quality by providing different levels of information detail in different locations. The table of contents contains condensed key information for quick overview, while full chapters contain complete detailed content. Users can access the appropriate level of detail based on their needs, optimizing both efficiency and completeness.
3Loss of information
If the table of contents displays all chapter information, then information completeness improves, but display complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments chapter information into two distinct parts: key information displayed in the table of contents and full detailed content in the chapters themselves. The table of contents module only displays essential summaries and key points, not complete chapter content. This segmentation reduces table of contents complexity while preserving access to complete information through the chapter structure.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a book information display method and apparatus, a device and a storage medium. The method comprises: in response to a target trigger operation, displaying a table of content page of a book; in response to detecting that a first chapter and a second chapter of the book which have chapter progresses are not consecutive chapters, determining chapter key information corresponding to a third chapter, the third chapter being an non-started chapter between the first chapter and the second chapter, and the chapter key information comprising information which is extracted from third chapter information of the third chapter and is associated with the first chapter and the second chapter; and displaying on the table of content page the chapter key information of the third chapter.
