Solution Overview

Problem

Existing chat scenarios suffer from low session processing efficiency due to users forgetting to reply to messages, requiring them to re-enter chat interfaces to address incomplete sessions.

Innovation Solution

A display method that distinguishes incomplete and completed sessions by displaying session identifiers with different visual cues, such as colors, shapes, or marks, based on state information, allowing users to quickly identify and process incomplete sessions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If users manually check each session to identify incomplete sessions, then they can process messages, but session processing efficiency is low due to time consumption

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesession processing efficiencyVSAvoidtime to identify incomplete sessions
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies color changes by displaying session identifiers with different colors based on their state: red color indicates incomplete sessions while green color indicates completed sessions. This visual differentiation allows users to quickly identify which sessions require attention without manually checking each session, thereby improving session processing efficiency and reducing time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

2Ease of operation

If all session identifiers are displayed with the same visual appearance, then the interface is simple, but users cannot quickly distinguish incomplete sessions from completed sessions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of identifying incomplete sessionsVSAvoidvisual differentiation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements color changes by assigning different colors to session identifiers based on their completion state. Incomplete sessions are displayed in red while completed sessions appear in green. This provides intuitive visual cues that enhance ease of operation by allowing users to quickly distinguish and identify incomplete sessions without adding significant interface complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

AI summary

A display method includes obtaining P pieces of state information corresponding to P sessions in a communication application; and displaying P session identifiers corresponding to the P sessions on a first interface of the communication application according to the P pieces of state information. A display manner of each session identifier is associated with state information of a session corresponding to the session identifier. The state information of the session is used to represent a state of a chat dialogue in the session. The state information of the session includes first state information and second state information, the first state information is used to represent that the chat dialogue in the session is in an incomplete state, and the second state information is used to represent that the chat dialogue in the session is in a completed state. P is an integer greater than 1.
