Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for displaying labels in feed streams on mobile terminals lack flexibility and user relevance, often interfering with the user experience by displaying labels at inappropriate times.

Innovation Solution

A label display method and apparatus that dynamically display a label selection control during a feed stream, allowing users to select labels based on their interests, with the system acquiring and displaying recommended feeds based on user input, and adjusting the display timing and style according to user interactions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If labels are displayed when a user opens an application for the first time, then personalized content can be displayed according to user preferences, but the timing of label display is fixed and lacks flexibility

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveflexibility of label display timingVSAvoidcomplexity of label display control

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the static label display mechanism (fixed at app opening) into a dynamic one by introducing a timing selection module that allows labels to be displayed at multiple different moments during feed stream playback, including when users pause, like, or interact with content, thereby adapting to varying user engagement states

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-prepares multiple potential display timing points during feed stream playback (such as pause moments, like actions, or interaction events) and selects the most appropriate moment to present labels, allowing the interface to be ready with personalized content options before the user actually needs to make a selection

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If label selection control is displayed during feed stream playback, then user experience is enhanced through personalized recommendations, but the interface may become cluttered or interfere with content viewing

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser experience qualityVSAvoidinterference with content viewing

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The label selection control is displayed in a localized, non-intrusive area of the interface (such as a dedicated overlay region or sidebar) rather than replacing or obscuring the main feed stream content, allowing users to access personalization options without feeling that their content viewing is disrupted

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The label display control appears periodically or event-driven (triggered by user actions like pausing or liking) rather than continuously, reducing visual clutter and allowing the interface to remain clean during active content consumption while still providing personalization opportunities when engagement indicates interest

Inventive Principle:

Principle #19Periodic action

AI summary

A label display method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a computer-readable medium. The method includes: displaying a label selection control on a feed display interface in a process of displaying a feed stream, where the label selection control corresponds to at least one label; receiving selection information inputted by a user through performing a selection operation on the at least one label; acquiring a recommended feed corresponding to the selection information; and displaying the recommended feed on the feed display interface. This method realizes flexible control of the timing of label display.
