Solution Overview

Problem

Existing social networking services lack personalized feed page layouts and content types that dynamically adapt based on user subscription information and following information, leading to a less engaging user experience.

Innovation Solution

An operating method for a server that provides a social networking service, where the server determines the layout of a feed page based on user following and subscription information, and generates feed content types corresponding to the determined layout, ensuring that the feed page content is tailored to the user's specific interactions and interests.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a fixed feed page layout is used for all users, then the system complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but user engagement and personalization are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoiduser engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The feed page layout is made dynamic by automatically adjusting it based on real-time detection of user interactions (likes, comments, shares) and content characteristics. The system transitions from a static fixed layout to a dynamic adaptive layout that evolves with user behavior patterns, resolving the contradiction between operational simplicity and user engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes key layout parameters such as content arrangement, weighting, and visibility based on detected user interaction parameters. By monitoring engagement metrics and adjusting layout parameters accordingly, the system achieves personalization without requiring complex manual configuration, thus maintaining ease of operation while improving user engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If the feed page layout is personalized based on user information, then user engagement is improved, but device complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically detecting user interaction patterns and content characteristics without requiring complex external processing or manual configuration. The server autonomously analyzes engagement data and adjusts layouts accordingly, reducing the need for complex external systems while maintaining high personalization levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The complexity is segmented and distributed across multiple components: interaction detection module, content analysis module, and layout generation module. Each module handles specific tasks independently, making the overall system more manageable and scalable while achieving sophisticated personalization through coordinated operation of these segmented functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Loss of information

If feed content is selected based on user subscription and following information, then content relevance is improved, but information processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent relevanceVSAvoidinformation processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-processing and storing user subscription and following information in an optimized data structure before content selection is needed. This pre-prepared data enables rapid retrieval and application during feed generation, reducing real-time processing complexity while maintaining high content relevance through accurate information utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method and apparatus for a social networking service are provided. An operating method of a server that provides a social networking service includes determining a layout of a feed page based on following information corresponding to a first user account and subscription information corresponding to the first user account, determining a type of feed content corresponding to the determined layout, based on the following information and the subscription information, and providing, to a terminal of the first user account, the feed page on which the determined feed content is arranged based on the layout.
