Dynamic Recommendation Control for Instant Messaging Windows
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing instant messaging applications often display pop-up recommendations for emoticons and other information, which can block part of the communication window, leading to inefficient information acquisition, especially when communicating with certain users like bosses or teachers where such recommendations are not needed.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that allows users to disable pop-up recommendations by sending a notification from a server to a terminal based on pre-set keywords associated with specific communication accounts, ensuring that recommended information is not displayed during input in communication windows for those accounts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If pop-up recommendations are automatically displayed when users input communication information, then information recommendation completeness is improved, but communication window readability deteriorates due to blocking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the recommendation pop-up state changeable based on communication context. The system dynamically switches between displaying and hiding recommendations according to the target communication account's attributes and the current communication scenario, rather than using a fixed display mode. This resolves the contradiction by allowing the interface to adapt its behavior to different situations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating the recommendation display behavior for different communication accounts. Instead of a uniform approach, the system assigns different display properties to recommendations based on the specific target account's characteristics (such as whether it's a superior, colleague, or friend), thereby optimizing both recommendation completeness and readability for each local context.
2Adaptability or versatility
If pop-up recommendations are displayed during communication, then information acquisition variety is improved, but information acquisition efficiency deteriorates due to blocked view
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the recommendation display based on real-time communication context, switching between showing and hiding recommendations to optimize information acquisition efficiency while maintaining variety when appropriate. This dynamic control prevents the view blocking issue while preserving access to diverse information options.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary analysis of the communication context (such as identifying the target account as a superior or in a formal communication scenario) and proactively prevents the display of recommendations that would block the view, thereby avoiding the efficiency loss before it occurs. This anticipatory approach maintains information variety when needed while preventing view blocking when it would harm efficiency.
3Ease of operation
If recommendation pop-ups are automatically shown for all accounts, then user interaction convenience is improved, but communication focus deteriorates due to distractions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by tailoring the recommendation display behavior to specific communication accounts and scenarios. For accounts requiring formal communication or where focus is critical (such as superiors or in professional contexts), the system adjusts the display properties to minimize distractions while maintaining ease of operation for other accounts where recommendations are more appropriate.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts recommendation visibility based on the communication context and target account characteristics, providing a balanced approach that maintains user interaction convenience while preserving communication focus when needed. This dynamic adaptation allows the interface to be convenient when appropriate and focused when necessary.

AI summary
An inquiry for information recommendation sent by a terminal is received; the inquiry for information recommendation may include an account identification of a target communication account; it is determined whether account information corresponding to the account identification of the target communication account includes a pre-set keyword to disable recommendation; if the account information includes the pre-set keyword to disable recommendation, a notification to disable recommendation is sent to the terminal, such that the terminal disables, while communication information is being input in a communication window corresponding to the target communication account, a pop-up of recommended information corresponding to the input communication information in the communication window, improving efficiency in information acquisition.
