Solution Overview

Problem

Current messaging software quick reply features lack flexibility and user experience, as they are limited to fixed quick replies and cannot provide features like page jump and application opening, and do not adapt to real-time user requirements.

Innovation Solution

A display control method and apparatus that determines and displays a target control associated with a trigger rule in a chat interface's input box or associated area, allowing the control to perform a corresponding function after being triggered, with dynamic adaptation to user needs based on trigger rules related to received information, user operations, or historical data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If fixed quick replies are used in messaging software, then the implementation is simple, but the flexibility and adaptability to user needs are poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to user needsVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic control elements that can change their content and functionality based on trigger rules. The control element transitions from a static fixed quick reply to a dynamic structure that adapts to user needs through conditions like time of day, conversation context, and user profile, thereby improving adaptability while managing complexity through rule-based automation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes parameters of the control element such as display content, available actions, and functionality based on varying conditions. By modifying parameters like the time of day, conversation topic, or user preferences, the system provides personalized quick replies that adapt to user needs without requiring complex manual configuration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If fixed quick replies are used, then the system is simple to implement, but it cannot provide advanced features like page jump and application opening

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeature functionalityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the control element universal by enabling it to perform multiple functions including text selection, page navigation, application launching, and other actions. The single control element can adapt its functionality based on the trigger rule, allowing one element to serve multiple purposes rather than requiring separate elements for each function

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a trigger rule mechanism as an intermediary layer between the user input and the control element actions. This intermediary system translates user needs into appropriate control element behaviors, enabling advanced features like page jump and application opening through a structured rule-based approach that manages complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If dynamic controls adapting to real-time requirements are implemented, then user experience is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the system monitors user interactions, conversation context, and temporal information to dynamically adjust control element behavior. This feedback loop enables the system to learn user preferences and adapt controls in real-time, improving user experience through personalized interactions while managing complexity through automated feedback processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a display control method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The present disclosure provides a display control method, including: determining a target control associated with a target trigger rule in response to at least one trigger rule being hit, where the target trigger rule is the hit trigger rule; and displaying the target control in an input box of a chat interface or an associated area of the input box, where the target control is configured to perform a corresponding function after being triggered.
