Dynamic Content Presentation Screen Switching for Multi-Criteria Retrieval
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing content presentation systems fail to effectively display content relationships according to multiple criteria, making it difficult for users to find desired content as icons representing similar contents may be placed far apart based on different criteria.
Innovation Solution
A content presentation device and method that produces display data for presentation screens showing content relationships based on various presentation data, allowing users to switch between screens using instruction determination means, thereby displaying content relationships according to different criteria, and utilizing character string storage and acquisition to select related content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If icons representative of contents are placed according to a predetermined criterion, then the presentation screen can be generated, but icons representing similar contents according to one criterion may be placed far apart according to another criterion making it difficult for users to find desired content
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by enabling the presentation screen to switch between different display modes (first mode showing contents in a first relationship, second mode showing contents in a second relationship). This allows the system to adapt to different user needs dynamically rather than being fixed to a single arrangement criterion, thereby improving ease of finding desired content while managing complexity through controlled mode transitions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of content arrangement relationships by providing multiple distinct relationships (first relationship vs. second relationship) for organizing content icons. By switching between different arrangement parameters, the system can optimize for different search criteria without requiring a completely new system, thus improving findability while maintaining manageable complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple presentation data are stored for different criteria, then content relationships can be displayed according to multiple criteria, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements multi-functionality by designing a single presentation screen that can serve multiple purposes through different display modes. The same screen infrastructure displays content relationships according to different criteria (first and second relationships) by switching modes, rather than requiring separate systems for each criterion. This increases adaptability while controlling complexity through a unified multi-functional design.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses dynamic mode switching to accommodate multiple criteria without permanently increasing structural complexity. The presentation screen transitions between first and second display modes based on user needs, allowing the system to be versatile when required while maintaining a manageable underlying structure. The complexity is activated only when needed rather than being permanently present.
3Productivity
If icons are arranged based on a single criterion, then the presentation screen is simple to generate, but the user cannot readily find content that may be similar according to different criteria
Solution Approach 1:
The patent improves content retrieval efficiency and navigation ease by enabling dynamic switching between different content relationship modes. When users need to find content similar according to different criteria, they can switch to the appropriate display mode, making the system both productive for retrieval and easy to operate for navigation without being constrained to a single arrangement criterion.

AI summary
A content presentation device including a presentation screen production unit for producing display data related to a presentation screen on which images representative of a subset of contents among a plurality of contents together with a mutual relationship among the subset are shown, based on presentation data stored in a presentation data storage memory, the presentation storage memory storing plural kinds of presentation data based on any of which display data about the presentation screen is produced; and an instruction determination unit for determining whether a switching instruction for switching the presentation screen is input while the presentation screen is displayed, the switching instruction designating one of the contents represented by one of the images shown on the presentation screen, where the presentation screen production unit displaying an image representative of the one of the contents designated by the switching instruction at a predetermined position of the presentation screen.
