Comment Hiding Button for Reducing Display Redundancy
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In news media and social platforms, the repetitive display of parent comments alongside child comments leads to redundancy and decreased reading efficiency, especially when there are numerous child comments, causing users to see already read content repeatedly.
Innovation Solution
A comment hiding button is displayed next to parent comments with child comments, allowing users to filter out these repetitive comments, updating the display interface to show only other comment contents, thereby improving reading efficiency and information extraction speed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If comments are displayed in chronological order with parent comments and child comments together, then the complete comment structure is preserved, but repetition and redundancy of displayed content increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the comment display into different hierarchical levels. Parent comments are displayed at one level while their child comments are displayed indented below them, creating a visual segmentation that distinguishes between different comment generations and reduces perceived repetition
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a spatial dimension to the comment display by using indentation and hierarchical positioning. Instead of displaying all comments in a single linear sequence, child comments are positioned in a subordinate spatial arrangement below their parent comments, transforming the one-dimensional chronological display into a two-dimensional hierarchical structure
2Loss of information
If parent comments with long content are displayed repeatedly, then complete comment information is provided, but reading speed and information extraction efficiency decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the parent comment content from repeated displays by showing it only once at its original position in the chronological sequence. When child comments appear, the parent comment is not redundantly displayed again, but rather referenced or visually connected to its original position, extracting the repetitive element while preserving the hierarchical relationship
3Stability of the object's composition
If all comments including parent and child comments are displayed together, then the comment hierarchy is maintained, but the display interface becomes cluttered and harder to navigate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by giving different visual treatments to different parts of the comment structure. Parent comments are displayed with one style while their child comments are displayed with distinct indentation and positioning, creating local visual differences that help users distinguish between different comment levels and navigate the interface more easily

AI summary
An embodiment of the disclosure provides a comment content display method, apparatus and device, and storage medium, the method including: when any parent comment of a content object includes at least one child comment, display a comment hiding button at a preset position in a comment region of the parent comment; and filter out the parent comment and child comments of the parent comment from all the comments that have been currently loaded and displayed in response to a trigger operation of a user for the comment hiding button, and updating a current display interface to display other comment contents except the filtered out parent comment and child comments of the parent comment.
