Display Interface Segmentation for Shared Viewing History Retrieval
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The sharing of user viewing histories across multiple devices when using a single account to log in to an application makes it difficult for users to find a specific viewing history, leading to low efficiency in displaying the desired file.
Innovation Solution
A display method and apparatus that allows users to display a file corresponding to an electronic device or user through object identifier information via two inputs, enabling direct selection without needing to search through viewing histories.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If user viewing histories are shared between multiple electronic devices using the same account, then account versatility is improved, but user operation complexity increases and file display efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the interface by introducing a second interface that displays platform identifier information separately from the first interface that displays object identifier information. This segmentation allows users to first select the platform (e.g., TV, phone, tablet) and then select the specific object, breaking down the complex search task into manageable steps and resolving the contradiction between account versatility and ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new dimension to the selection process by introducing platform identifier information as an additional selection layer. Instead of searching through a flat list of all viewing histories across all devices, users now navigate through a two-dimensional space: first selecting the platform dimension, then selecting the object dimension within that platform. This dimensional change significantly reduces operation complexity while maintaining account versatility.
2Adaptability or versatility
If user viewing histories are shared between multiple electronic devices using the same account, then account versatility is improved, but file display efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-organizing and displaying platform identifier information in the second interface before the user begins searching for specific files. This preliminary organization of data by platform creates a structured framework that accelerates the subsequent file selection process, allowing users to quickly narrow down their search scope and dramatically improving file display efficiency while maintaining the ability to access viewing histories across all devices.
3Adaptability or versatility
If users need to find specific viewing history in shared histories across multiple devices, then account versatility is maintained, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the viewing history data display into two separate interfaces - one showing platform identifiers and another showing object identifiers - the patent enables users to quickly filter and locate specific viewing histories. This segmentation eliminates the need to manually search through all viewing histories across multiple devices, significantly reducing time consumption while preserving full account versatility.

AI summary
This application discloses a display method and apparatus, and pertains to the field of communication technologies. The display method includes: receiving a first input; displaying a first interface of a first application in response to the first input, where the first interface includes object identifier information of at least one object, and the object includes an electronic device or a user; receiving a second input for first object identifier information in the at least one piece of object identifier information; and displaying a first file corresponding to the first object identifier information in response to the second input.
