Solution Overview

Problem

In existing display control systems, it takes time for viewers to designate and view emphasis items when switching from one user's profile information to another, as emphasis items are only prioritized when viewing the first user's profile.

Innovation Solution

A display control device that uses a processor to specify emphasis items based on a viewer's operation history, prioritizing these items when viewing profile information of a second user by analyzing operation history, such as button clicks and scroll operations, to efficiently display emphasis items.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If emphasis items are prioritized only when viewing the first user's profile information, then the display control is simple, but it takes time to view emphasis items when switching to another user's profile

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewing efficiency of emphasis itemsVSAvoiddisplay control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of the viewer's operation history to pre-specify emphasis items before the viewer actually views the profile. By analyzing scroll operations, button clicks, and viewing patterns in advance, the system prepares the emphasis item specifications so that when the viewer wants to see emphasized information, it is already identified and can be displayed immediately without requiring the viewer to manually designate them again.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables itself to automatically specify emphasis items by analyzing the viewer's own operation history without requiring manual input from the viewer. The processor autonomously detects viewing patterns, determines which items the viewer tends to emphasize, and applies this knowledge to subsequent profile views, making the system self-improving and adaptive.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Loss of time

If the system designates emphasis items manually for each user profile, then the display control is simple, but it consumes more time to view multiple profiles

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetime to view emphasis items across profilesVSAvoidautomatic emphasis item specification
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously monitors and analyzes the viewer's operation history, including scroll operations, button clicks, and viewing patterns, to gather feedback about what items the viewer finds important. This feedback is processed to automatically update and refine the emphasis item specifications for future profile views, creating a closed-loop system that learns and adapts to viewer preferences over time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis of operation history to pre-specify emphasis items before the viewer actually needs to view them. By analyzing viewing patterns in advance and preparing the emphasis item specifications ahead of time, the system eliminates the time delay that would occur if manual designation were required for each profile, while still maintaining high accuracy in identifying relevant emphasis items.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If emphasis items are displayed with priority for all users, then viewing efficiency is improved, but the customization to individual viewer preferences is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of viewing emphasis itemsVSAvoidadaptation to viewer preferences
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies different display priorities to different items based on the specific viewer's preferences and behavior patterns. Rather than uniformly prioritizing the same items for all viewers, the system customizes which items receive emphasis display treatment for each individual viewer based on their unique operation history and viewing patterns, making the interface adapt to local viewer needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The emphasis item specifications are not fixed but dynamically adjusted based on the viewer's operation history. The system continuously updates the understanding of what items each viewer finds important and modifies the emphasis display accordingly, making the system flexible and adaptive to changing viewer preferences rather than static and one-size-fits-all.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A display control device includes a processor configured to specify an emphasis item that a viewer viewing profile information of a first user desires to emphasize out of the profile information, the first user using a service with which the profile information is registered, from an operation history of the viewer, and perform a display control of displaying the emphasis item with priority over other items, in a case where the viewer views profile information of a second user.
