Solution Overview

Problem

When content from a sharing source is resized by a visitor, the shared content often becomes less visible or unintelligible, reducing its effectiveness in encouraging click-throughs, as other elements on the display are resized and the shared content may not adapt accordingly.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that dynamically designs shared content by detecting size changes of the main content, accessing rules associated with resizing, and selectively choosing elements to ensure the shared content remains comprehensible and appealing, using a content size determination unit, shared content size allocation unit, shared content rules database, and shared content transmitting unit to communicate the redesigned shared content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the main content is resized by a visitor, then the content can be displayed at different sizes according to visitor preference, but the shared content becomes less visible or unintelligible

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent size adaptabilityVSAvoidshared content intelligibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The shared content is dynamically resized in real-time based on the detected size of the main content. When the main content changes size, the system automatically adjusts the shared content size to maintain optimal visibility and intelligibility, transforming the static resizing approach into a dynamic adaptive system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the size parameter of the shared content based on the main content size. By detecting the main content dimensions and calculating an appropriate shared content size, the system maintains the shared content's intelligibility across different display configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If the shared content size is automatically resized inversely with the content, then the layout adapts to content size changes, but the shared content may become too small to be effective

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic layout adaptationVSAvoidshared content effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where the main content size is detected, and this information feeds back into the shared content sizing calculation. The shared content size is determined based on the main content size, ensuring that the shared content remains effectively sized while automatically adapting to different content dimensions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Loss of information

If the shared content is kept at a fixed size, then the shared content remains clearly visible and intelligible, but the overall display layout becomes inconsistent when content is resized

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshared content clarityVSAvoiddisplay layout consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically changes the shared content size parameter based on the main content size detection. This ensures that the shared content scales appropriately with the main content while maintaining visibility and intelligibility, resolving the conflict between fixed-size clarity and layout consistency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A system and method for dynamically designing shared content served via a content sharing source. The system includes a content size determination unit to determine a size of content sourced from the content sharing source; a shared content size allocation unit to determine a size of the shared content based on the size of the content; a shared content rules database to determine a design style associated with the shared content based on the determined size of the shared content; and a shared content transmitting unit to communicate the shared content in accordance with the design style to the content sharing source.
