Solution Overview

Problem

Existing instant messaging functions primarily support content interaction through voice and text, resulting in limited and simple interactive manners, leading to poor user engagement.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for content interaction that allows users to switch the display state of interaction content based on reply content generated in a content obtaining page, enriching the displayed content and interactive manner by including a target interaction topic and interaction content in a first display state, which can be switched to a second viewable state upon user input.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If instant messaging supports only voice and text interaction, then the system remains simple and easy to operate, but the interactive manner becomes limited and user engagement deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteractive mannerVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The interaction content is segmented into multiple display states (first display state and second display state), where different states serve different interaction purposes. This segmentation allows the system to provide rich interactive manners while maintaining manageable complexity by organizing functionality into distinct, manageable states.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The interaction content dynamically switches between different display states based on user input and interaction progress. The content can transition from a first display state (e.g., hidden or placeholder state) to a second display state (e.g., visible or detailed state) when users provide reply content, creating a dynamic and engaging interaction experience without requiring a completely complex system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If interaction content is always displayed in a viewable state, then user engagement improves, but information security and privacy protection deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidinformation security
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

Different portions of the interaction content have different display qualities based on their sensitivity and interaction stage. The content can be partially hidden or obscured in the first display state and gradually revealed in the second display state when appropriate conditions are met, allowing selective information disclosure that balances engagement with security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by preparing interaction content in a first display state before full revelation. Users must complete certain actions (providing reply content) to trigger the transition to the second display state, ensuring that sensitive information is only fully revealed when appropriate prerequisites are satisfied, thus maintaining security while enabling engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Object-affected harmful factors

If the system requires user input to switch display states, then information security improves, but operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation securityVSAvoidoperation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The interaction content automatically transitions between display states based on user inputs without requiring explicit user commands for state switching. When users provide reply content, the system automatically detects this input and switches the content from the first display state to the second display state, maintaining security through automatic validation while keeping operations simple and intuitive.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Embodiment in the disclosure provide a method for content interaction and apparatus, device, computer readable storage medium and product, and the method including: displaying, in a conversation page between the first user and at least one second user, content to be exchanged sent by any second user, where the content to be exchanged includes a target interaction topic and interaction content in a first display state corresponding to the target interaction topic; displaying a content obtaining page in response to a preconfigured trigger on the content to be exchanged; and switching the interaction content from the first display state to a second display state according to reply content generated based on the target interaction topic in the content obtaining page.
