Chronological Post Control for Unprocessed Content Visibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In services that display user information in chronological order, it is difficult to distinguish unprocessed information from other posts when subsequent information is posted, making it hard to identify and manage unprocessed content.
Innovation Solution
A control apparatus with a receiving unit and two controllers is used to execute processes on target posts, where the second controller removes posts and replaces them with alternative ones when a predetermined condition is met, ensuring unprocessed information is clearly distinguishable by displaying alternative content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If information is continuously displayed in chronological order, then the service maintains a complete record of all posts, but unprocessed information becomes indistinguishable from other posts
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies visual differentiation by changing the display appearance of unprocessed posts compared to processed posts. Specifically, unprocessed posts are displayed with distinct visual characteristics (such as different colors, shading, or markers) to make them clearly distinguishable from processed posts in the chronological feed, without requiring complex additional interfaces or user actions
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the display presentation by visually separating processed and unprocessed information. By applying different display styles to posts based on their processing state, the system creates distinct visual groups within the continuous chronological stream, allowing users to quickly identify which posts require attention without breaking the chronological continuity

AI summary
A control apparatus includes a receiving unit, a first controller, and a second controller. The receiving unit receives an instruction to execute a predetermined process corresponding to a post posted on a space provided by a service. The predetermined process is executed on one or more target posts posted on the space. The space presents posts in a predetermined direction in a chronological order. The first controller performs control to execute the predetermined process in response to the instruction. In a case where the one or more target posts of the predetermined process are posted on the space and a predetermined condition is satisfied, the second controller removes at least one post from the space and posts an alternative post corresponding to the removed at least one post on the space.
