Display Control Device for Push Information Prioritization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
As the number of network-connected devices increases, display devices such as television sets, tablets, and smartphones face difficulties in allowing users to easily select desired push information from the growing amount of information being presented.
Innovation Solution
A display control device that manages items by category, determines screen attention and selection probabilities based on user behavior, and adjusts display styles to prioritize items with higher selection probabilities, ensuring users can easily access relevant information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If push information from various network-connected devices is displayed on the screen, then the amount of information presented increases, but it becomes difficult for users to easily select desired information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter of information presentation by dynamically adjusting display styles based on calculated selection probabilities. Items are sorted and displayed according to their likelihood of being selected, with high-probability items receiving prominent display styles and low-probability items receiving subdued styles. This transforms the static information display into a dynamic, probability-based presentation that resolves the contradiction between showing diverse information and maintaining ease of selection.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple categories of push information are displayed simultaneously, then information diversity increases, but screen clutter increases and user attention is分散ed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different display styles to different information categories and items based on their selection probabilities. High-probability items in relevant categories receive prominent display treatment, while low-probability items receive subdued treatment. This creates a hierarchical display structure where important information stands out and less important information recedes, resolving the contradiction between information diversity and display simplicity.
3Ease of operation
If push information is displayed during content viewing, then information accessibility increases, but user attention to content may be interrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by selectively displaying only high-probability push information items that are most likely to interest the user, rather than displaying all available information. This partial display approach maintains content viewing continuity while providing accessible information, resolving the contradiction between information accessibility and viewing continuity.

AI summary
Included are: a plural-push information management unit; a screen attention degree determination unit; a selection operation history collection unit; a selection probability calculation unit calculating a user's selection probability for each category; and a display style determination unit causing pieces of push information in a category having a higher probability to be displayed in a more easily selectable display style. The categories include a relevance category including pieces of push information regarding content displayed on the screen. The selection probability calculation unit calculates a selection probability of the relevance category having a first attention degree as a screen attention degree to be higher than that having the second attention degree lower than the first attention degree; and calculates a selection probability having a first number as the number of selection times to be higher than that having a second number smaller than the first number.
