Dynamic Social Share Content Selection for UI Redundancy
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional content hosting and social networking services often display social shares with redundant metadata or representations, failing to effectively showcase referenced content, leading to user disengagement due to cluttered and irrelevant information.
Innovation Solution
A method for dynamically selecting content from social shares to display in a user interface by associating identifiers with UI documents, updating identifier lists to remove redundant representations, and modifying the UI to include relevant content representations based on the page context, ensuring only non-redundant information is displayed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If social shares display all metadata and references, then completeness of information is improved, but user engagement deteriorates due to cluttered and irrelevant information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes redundant metadata and reference representations from social shares. The system identifies references to media items already present on the page and eliminates their duplicate representations in social shares, retaining only the essential information while removing clutter that detracts from user engagement.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different treatment to different parts of the social share content based on their relevance to the current page context. References to media items already on the page are treated differently (removed or minimized) compared to references to new media items (retained and highlighted), creating local quality variations that optimize overall user experience.
2Loss of information
If social shares include all reference representations, then information completeness is improved, but device complexity increases due to redundant content processing
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts the set of identifiers associated with the UI document and uses this to filter the identifier list for social shares. By removing identifiers that already exist on the page, the system simplifies the content processing while maintaining information completeness for relevant references.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic selection of content representations based on the current page context. The identifier list is updated dynamically by comparing against the UI document's identifiers, and the social share display is modified dynamically to show only appropriate references, reducing processing complexity while maintaining completeness.
3Loss of information
If social shares display redundant metadata, then information completeness is improved, but clarity of presentation deteriorates due to clutter
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes redundant metadata from social shares by comparing the social share identifier list against the UI document identifier set. Only non-redundant references are retained in the modified social share display, eliminating clutter while preserving complete information about relevant content.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies local quality by treating different reference types differently within the social share. References to media already on the page are removed or minimized, while references to new media are preserved and emphasized, creating a clear, non-redundant presentation that maintains information completeness.

AI summary
A dynamic selection of content from social shares to display in a user interface is performed. A first set of media items that have graphic representations on a user interface (UI) are compared with a second set of media items referenced in a social share to be presented on the UI. Media items from the second set are identified that are not included in the first set of media items. The UI is modified to include a graphic representation of at least one identified media item from the second set in the social share.
