Solution Overview

Problem

Current information display technologies lack flexibility in presenting diverse information formats and timing conditions, particularly in social media and feed information contexts, where pushed messages need to be efficiently and conditionally displayed across various terminal devices.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that generate a QR code for a target page URL, allowing conditional display based on preset conditions such as application identifiers and time ranges, enabling flexible information display by converting formats and managing display instructions across terminal devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If pushed messages are inserted into social media pages to improve information diversity, then information display diversity is improved, but display flexibility and timing control are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation display diversityVSAvoiddisplay flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic display control by checking preset conditions (time ranges, application identifiers) before displaying pushed messages. The system can dynamically determine whether to display information based on real-time conditions, allowing flexible timing control while maintaining diverse information types. This resolves the contradiction by making the display behavior adaptive to different scenarios rather than static.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes display parameters based on different conditions, such as modifying whether information is displayed based on time ranges or application identifiers. By adjusting these parameters dynamically, the system maintains information diversity while gaining control over display flexibility and timing, resolving the contradiction between diverse display and flexible control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Speed

If QR codes are used for information display, then access speed is improved, but conditional display control is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation access speedVSAvoidconditional display control
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-setting display conditions (time ranges, application identifiers) before the user accesses the information. When the user scans the QR code, the system has already prepared the conditional logic to determine whether to display the information based on these pre-set conditions. This maintains fast access through QR codes while incorporating conditional display control through advance preparation of filtering criteria.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Embodiments of the disclosure disclose a method and apparatus for displaying information. The method comprises: acquiring to-be-displayed information; generating a URL of a target page, the target page including a hyperlink linking to a display page of the to-be-displayed information; sending the URL to a first terminal device, the first terminal device used for generating and displaying a QR code of the URL; determining, in response to receiving an information display request sent by a second terminal device for characterizing the second terminal device recognizing the QR code, whether the information display request meets a preset condition; and sending a page display instruction to the second terminal device, in response to determining the information display request meeting the preset condition, wherein the second terminal device displays the target page in response to receiving the page display instruction and displays the to-be-displayed information in response to the hyperlink being clicked.
