Dynamic Content Download Priority for Information Processing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing content downloading techniques do not effectively improve usability by reducing the time it takes to display a content list screen, as they do not address the issue of displaying content information for all categories simultaneously, leading to delayed user access to selected content.
Innovation Solution
A control method for an information processing apparatus that prioritizes downloading detailed-content information for the category selected by the user, altering the download order based on user preferences and usage history to ensure the content list screen is displayed quickly and efficiently.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If content information for all categories is downloaded in a predetermined sequence, then download order is maintained, but the time to display the content list screen increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by downloading content information for the selected category first before downloading information for other categories. This preliminary action ensures that the content list screen can be displayed immediately once the selected category's information is downloaded, reducing the waiting time for users while still maintaining overall download progress.
2Ease of operation
If content information for all categories is downloaded simultaneously, then all content is available, but the initial display time is delayed
Solution Approach 1:
The download process is segmented into priority levels based on user selection. The system divides the content information download into multiple stages: first downloading the selected category's information, then subsequently downloading information for other categories. This segmentation allows the content list screen to be displayed quickly with relevant content while continuing to populate other categories in the background.
3Productivity
If the download order follows the predetermined sequence, then systematic downloading is maintained, but user-selected content may be delayed
Solution Approach 1:
The download order is made dynamic and adaptive based on user selection. When a user selects a specific category, the system dynamically adjusts the download priority to fetch that category's information first, deviating from the predetermined sequence. This dynamic adjustment ensures that user-selected content is prioritized while the systematic download process continues for remaining categories, balancing both requirements.

AI summary
Provided is a control method of an information processing apparatus, the control method including: downloading information relating to a content of a first category, information relating to a content of a second category, and information relating to a content of a third category to the information processing apparatus in sequence according to a predetermined download order; displaying a plurality of regions including regions corresponding to the content of the first category, the content of the second category, and the content of the third category; and executing, in a case where one of the plurality of regions is selected, display being based on information that relates to a content of a category corresponding to the selected one region and that is already downloaded to the information processing apparatus.
