Solution Overview

Problem

The existing image display systems face challenges in efficiently showcasing a large number of user-uploaded artworks on a server, leading to deteriorated browsing experiences due to limited display capabilities.

Innovation Solution

An image display method and system that calculates a value for each stored image based on attributes such as point number, access count, and membership type, allowing for dynamic display sizing and prioritization, with premium members' artworks being highlighted through larger display frames and slower timeline movement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If a large number of artworks are posted on the server, then the quantity of available content increases, but the display quality and user attention are deteriorated due to limited display capabilities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of artworksVSAvoiddisplay quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by assigning different display characteristics (size, position, movement speed) to different artworks based on their individual values. High-value artworks receive larger display frames and slower movement speeds, while lower-value artworks receive smaller frames and faster movement. This resolves the contradiction by ensuring that limited display resources are allocated proportionally to content quality rather than uniformly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes display parameters (frame size, movement speed, position) based on the calculated value of each artwork. By adjusting these parameters according to content quality, the system maintains high display quality for important content while accommodating a large quantity of artworks in the limited display space.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If all artworks are displayed uniformly, then simplicity of display logic is maintained, but user engagement and attention to valuable content are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay logic simplicityVSAvoiduser engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of uniform display, the system implements local quality by varying display characteristics according to artwork value. This maintains operational simplicity through automated value-based rules while significantly improving user engagement by highlighting valuable content through larger frames and slower movement speeds.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses user interaction data (access counts, points) as feedback to continuously adjust display parameters. This creates a dynamic system where artworks that generate more engagement receive progressively better display treatment, automatically optimizing user engagement without complex manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If premium members' artworks are highlighted with larger frames and slower movement, then user engagement increases, but display complexity and resource consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoiddisplay system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system manages complexity by parameterizing display characteristics based on member type and artwork value. Rather than implementing complex special handling for premium content, it uses a unified framework where display parameters (frame size, speed) are automatically adjusted based on calculated values, achieving engagement goals with manageable system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
