Contact Icon Feature Extraction for Richer Information Presentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional address books only store basic contact information such as names and contact methods, lacking the ability to present richer details about contacts, which limits user interaction and engagement.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that obtain and present a contact icon on a screen, incorporating an identifier and a feature icon determined by social text information and measurement data, such as geographical location, behavior state, or personal information, using keywords from social network posts and device measurements, with a preset priority to select the most relevant features.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If only basic contact information (names and contact methods) is stored in the address book, then the device complexity is low and ease of operation is maintained, but the quantity of information provided to users is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The contact information is segmented into multiple categories: basic information (name, contact method), feature information (social text information, measurement data), and icon components (identifier, feature icon). This segmentation allows the system to organize and manage rich information without overwhelming complexity, as each segment can be processed and displayed independently.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a visual dimension to contact information by introducing feature icons that represent different types of contact data (social text information, measurement data, geographical environment, behavior state, personal information). This transforms the address book from a text-based system to a multi-dimensional visual interface, enriching the information presentation without proportionally increasing system complexity.
2Quantity of substance
If rich contact information including social text information and measurement data is obtained and processed, then the quantity and quality of contact information is improved, but the use of energy and computational resources increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the most relevant features from social text information and measurement data to create feature icons, rather than processing and displaying all available information. This extraction approach reduces the computational burden and energy consumption while still providing rich contact information representation through selective feature presentation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses visual icons with different colors and symbols to represent various types of contact features (geographical environment, behavior state, personal information). This visual encoding allows the system to convey rich information efficiently through intuitive graphical representation, reducing the need for extensive text processing and lowering energy consumption compared to detailed text-based information presentation.
3Loss of information
If feature icons representing geographical environment, behavior state, and personal information are displayed, then user understanding of contact features is enhanced, but the area required for contact screen display increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple types of contact information (geographical environment, behavior state, personal information) are merged into a single integrated icon representation for each contact. Instead of displaying separate elements for each feature type, the system combines them into one compact feature icon, maintaining complete information representation while minimizing display area requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The feature icons are designed with a nested structure where multiple layers of information are contained within a single icon. The icon can display different types of contact features in a hierarchical or layered manner, allowing comprehensive contact feature representation in a compact visual format that fits within limited screen space.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention provide a contact information presentation method, a contact information determining method, and a related device. The method includes: obtaining an icon of a contact, where the icon of the contact includes an identifier of the contact and a feature icon of the contact, the feature icon of the contact is determined according to feature information of the contact, and the feature information of the contact includes at least one of social text information of the contact or measurement data of the contact; and presenting the icon of the contact on a contact screen. According to the foregoing technical solutions, when user equipment presents a contact screen, an icon of a contact presented on the contact screen can reflect a feature of the contact. In this way, richer content may be presented on the contact screen, and a user may know, by using the icon of the contact, of the feature corresponding to the contact.
