Buddy List Theme Cover Presentation for Mobile Recognition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional buddy lists on instant messaging platforms, designed for PC operations, are inefficient and difficult to navigate on mobile devices due to their text-based format, leading to low recognition and high operation costs in mobile scenarios.
Innovation Solution
A buddy list presentation control method and system that converts the conventional text list form into a picture-based presentation by assigning theme covers to each buddy group, allowing users to customize group presentation and improve recognition and operability, using gesture operations and customizable theme covers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a text-based buddy list format is used, then the system maintains compatibility with PC operations, but recognition is low and operation difficulty is high on mobile devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the fundamental parameter of presentation format from text-based to image-based (theme covers). Each buddy group is assigned a distinctive theme cover image instead of relying on text labels, which fundamentally alters how information is perceived and interacted with on mobile devices, improving both recognition and ease of operation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses theme covers as visual copies or representations of buddy groups. Instead of displaying text information directly, the system uses image-based theme covers that represent and convey group identity, making it easier for users to recognize and differentiate groups at a glance on mobile screens
2Ease of operation
If a text-based buddy list is used, then the system structure remains simple, but user recognition and operability are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies visual differentiation through theme covers that can vary in color, image, and design. Each buddy group receives a unique visual identity through its theme cover, enabling users to quickly recognize and distinguish between different groups without complex text labels or hierarchical structures
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the buddy list into distinct visual groups, each represented by its own theme cover. This segmentation approach organizes the buddy list into manageable, visually distinct units that are easier to navigate on mobile devices compared to a continuous text list

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a buddy list presentation control method and system, and a computer storage medium. The method includes the following steps: acquiring user information, the user information including buddy grouping information; determining whether the acquired user information further includes theme cover information separately corresponding to each buddy group; and adding, if not, a corresponding theme cover to each buddy group separately according to a preset rule, and then, presenting a buddy grouping list obtained by adding the theme covers. According to the method, the system and the computer storage medium in embodiments of the present invention, recognition and operability of buddy grouping are improved, and an operation cost and operation difficulty are lowered.
