Contextual Comment Placement in Network Articles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile terminal technologies place comments at the bottom of articles, disconnecting the article and comments, which hinders reading convenience and user experience.
Innovation Solution
A network article comment processing method and apparatus that allows users to specify content within an article, obtaining comment content and location, and sending this information to a server for integration at the relevant article location, enabling comments to be displayed alongside the corresponding content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If comments are placed at the bottom of the article, then the article structure is simple and easy to implement, but the article and comments are not closely related and reading convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions comments from a single-dimensional location (bottom of article) to a multi-dimensional positioning system using DOM node identifiers and coordinate information. This allows comments to be placed at multiple locations throughout the article corresponding to their relevant content, resolving the contradiction between implementation simplicity and reading convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary positioning mechanism consisting of DOM node identifiers and coordinate data that links comments to specific article content. This intermediary system enables precise comment placement without fundamentally complicating the overall architecture, balancing simplicity with improved readability.
2Loss of time
If users jump to the comment area to read comments, then reading speed is improved, but the connection between article content and comments is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the comment system by creating individual comment instances tied to specific DOM nodes and content sections. Each comment is independently positioned near its related content, allowing users to read comments in-context without jumping to a centralized comment area, thus preserving both time efficiency and contextual information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by placing comments at different locations throughout the article based on their content relevance. Different sections of the article have comments positioned locally near the related content, enabling users to access comments efficiently while maintaining the contextual relationship between article content and comments.
3Ease of operation
If comments are integrated at the article location, then reading convenience is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses copying by creating lightweight comment instances that reference article content through DOM node identifiers and coordinate data. Instead of complex integrated structures, simple comment copies are positioned near relevant content, achieving improved readability without significant system complexity.

AI summary
A network article comment processing method and apparatus, a user terminal device, a server, and a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium provided in the present disclosure belong to the technical field of communication. The method includes: obtaining, by a client in a process of displaying a current article, a location where user specified content in the article is located with respect to all the pages occupied by the article; obtaining comment content posted by the user for the user specified content; and sending the comment content and the location at which the user specified content corresponding to the comment content is located with respect to all the pages occupied by the article to a server. In the present disclosure, the user does not need to post or view the comment content at the bottom of the article, the comment content may be displayed at a location at which the user specified content corresponding to the comment content is located with respect to all the pages occupied by the article, and the article and the comment are closely related, which facilitates reading.
