Solution Overview

Problem

Existing instant messaging applications lack a clear and dynamic way to represent interactive operation relationships within session interfaces, making it difficult for users to quickly understand the type of interaction and distinguish between different session interfaces.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for displaying an identifier on a session interface, where a first identifier is displayed based on session message volume and updated to a target identifier based on session operations between session objects, ensuring the target identifier matches the type of session operation, thereby representing the interactive operation relationship.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If no identifier is displayed in the session interface, then the interface remains simple and uncluttered, but users cannot quickly understand the type of interaction or distinguish between different session interfaces

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation about interactive operation relationshipVSAvoidcomplexity of session interface
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies color changes to identifiers in the session interface to represent different interactive operation relationships. Different colors or color intensities indicate different types of interactions (e.g., voice calls, video calls, text messages), allowing users to quickly understand the interaction type without adding complex visual elements to the interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes parameters of identifiers (such as color, brightness, or other visual attributes) to represent different interactive operation relationships. By modifying these parameters dynamically based on the type of interaction, the system conveys rich information while maintaining interface simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If a static identifier is displayed in the session interface, then users can see the interaction type, but the identifier cannot adapt to different session operations or update dynamically

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different session operationsVSAvoidcomplexity of identifier management
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic identifiers that automatically update based on session operations. The identifier's visual parameters (color, brightness, etc.) change dynamically to reflect the current type of interaction, making the system adaptable to different session operations without requiring complex manual management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides feedback by updating the identifier based on detected session operations. When a specific interaction occurs (e.g., voice call, video call), the identifier automatically adjusts its parameters to reflect this, creating a closed-loop feedback mechanism that enhances adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Loss of information

If detailed information about all session operations is displayed, then users can fully understand interaction types, but the interface becomes cluttered and harder to navigate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation about session operation typeVSAvoidease of navigating session interface
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of displaying detailed text information about session operations, the patent uses color changes in identifiers to convey interaction types. This visual encoding allows users to quickly understand the type of interaction at a glance without adding text clutter to the interface, maintaining ease of navigation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts the essential information (interaction type) from detailed session operation data and represents it through simplified visual indicators (color-coded identifiers). This extraction process retains the critical information while removing unnecessary complexity and clutter from the interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

The disclosure discloses a method, an apparatus, an electronic device and a readable storage medium for displaying an identifier, and relates to the technical field of electronic devices. The method for displaying an identifier includes: displaying a first identifier on a session interface; and updating the first identifier to be a target identifier based on a session operation of at least two session objects in the session interface and displaying the target identifier, wherein a type of the target identifier matches with a type of the session operation, the at least two session objects are objects participating in a target session in the session interface, and the target identifier represents an interactive operation relationship associated with the target session.
