Content Feed Gallery Display for Efficient Item Browsing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inefficiencies in finding specific types of content items within numerous subscribed content feeds, as existing systems lack an effective method to filter and present relevant content efficiently.
Innovation Solution
A content feed aggregation system that allows users to select a content item, identifying and presenting additional items that satisfy predefined criteria, such as data type or source, in a gallery view, enhancing the user interface with features like thumbnails or playlists for efficient content browsing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users subscribe to many content feeds to access diverse content, then the variety and quantity of content available increases, but the time and effort required to find specific types of content items increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments content items by their data types (e.g., images, videos, audio, documents) and presents them in organized galleries. When a user selects a content item, the system segments and displays related items of the same type in a gallery view, allowing users to efficiently browse content of particular types without manually searching through all subscribed feeds.
2Quantity of substance
If content items are listed in a traditional feed format, then all content from subscribed feeds is presented, but the ease of finding specific content types deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a traditional linear feed list to a two-dimensional gallery grid layout. Content items are displayed in a grid format with thumbnails, allowing users to visually scan and identify content of interest more efficiently. This dimensional change from list-view to grid-view enhances browsing efficiency while maintaining access to all content items.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses visual indicators such as color-coded icons or markers to indicate the data type of each content item in the gallery. Different colors or visual styles represent different content types (e.g., images, videos, documents), allowing users to quickly identify and filter content by type through visual cues rather than text alone.
Data Source
AI summary
Additional content items that satisfy predefined criteria with respect to a user-selected content item are identified. The predefined criteria may be that the selected and additional content items have particular characteristics that are the same. Information corresponding to the selected and identified content items is presented to a user. Characteristics based on which additional content items may be identified may include data type, source, and absence of content. The information may be presented in a gallery view, which can be a thumbnails gallery for images or a playlist for digital audio or video.
