Dynamic Display Priority for Content Feed Visibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In conventional systems, newly published content information can be buried among older updates, making it difficult for users to notice new information, especially when a large number of content items are displayed.
Innovation Solution
A communication apparatus and storage medium that extracts feed information, sets display priorities, and adjusts display frequencies to ensure that newer content is prominently displayed, using a multi-function device (MFD) system with a content-information extracting section, display-priority setting section, and display controller to prioritize and display content based on freshness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If all extracted content informations are displayed equally, then complete information coverage is achieved, but new content becomes buried among old content reducing user noticeability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the display parameter from uniform display to variable display frequency based on display priority. Content information with higher display priority (newer content) is displayed more frequently, while content with lower priority (older content) is displayed less frequently. This parameter change resolves the contradiction by ensuring new content is noticed without completely hiding old content.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic display priorities that change over time. The display priority of content information is lowered by a first degree after being displayed, creating a dynamic system where content automatically moves from high priority to low priority. This dynamic approach ensures new content is prominently displayed initially, then gradually reduces visibility as it ages, solving the noticeability problem.
2Loss of energy
If display priority is lowered after content is displayed, then repeated display is reduced, but new content may still be overlooked among large volumes of content
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the display parameter from uniform display frequency to variable display frequency based on display priority. Content information with higher display priority is displayed more frequently, while content with lower priority is displayed less frequently. This parameter change resolves the contradiction by ensuring new content is noticed without completely hiding old content.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic display priorities that change over time. The display priority of content information is lowered by a first degree after being displayed, creating a dynamic system where content automatically moves from high priority to low priority. This dynamic approach ensures new content is prominently displayed initially, then gradually reduces visibility as it ages, solving the noticeability problem.

AI summary
A communication apparatus including: a content-information extracting section which obtains feed information and extracts content information from the feed information; a display-priority setting section which sets a display priority; a display-priority changing section which lowers, on the basis of display of at least part of the content information, the display priority of the displayed content information by a first degree; a display-number setting section which sets the display number of times such that the display number of times of the content information during displaying of the at least part of each of all content informations to be displayed among the content informations is larger in a situation where the content information has a high display priority than in a situation in where the content information has a low display priority; and a display controller which displays the at least part on the basis of the display number of times.
