Solution Overview

Problem

Existing easter egg triggering methods in smartphones rely on a single trigger mode, leading to low coverage and poor user experience, as users may accidentally trigger easter eggs that are not of interest to them.

Innovation Solution

An easter egg presentation method that obtains a user's preference feature and determines a target trigger mode from multiple candidate modes, allowing for personalized triggering based on user behavior and preferences.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single trigger mode is used for easter eggs, then the triggering method is simple, but the coverage and user experience are poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeaster egg coverageVSAvoidtrigger mode complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic trigger modes that adapt to user behavior patterns. The system continuously monitors user actions and dynamically selects appropriate trigger modes (search-based, operation-based, or time-based) rather than using a fixed single mode, thereby improving coverage while maintaining manageable complexity through adaptive selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the trigger mechanism into multiple independent trigger modes (search trigger, operation trigger, time trigger) that can be independently configured and selected. This segmentation allows the system to choose the most appropriate mode for each easter egg, improving overall coverage without requiring all modes to be active simultaneously, thus controlling complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If easter eggs are triggered based on any user action, then the triggering is easy, but irrelevant easter eggs are accidentally triggered

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrigger easeVSAvoidtrigger accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by associating different trigger modes with specific user behavior patterns and easter egg types. Each trigger mode has specialized detection criteria tailored to its purpose (search keywords for search trigger, specific operations for operation trigger), ensuring that the triggering mechanism is both easy to activate and precisely targeted to user intent.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that monitor user behavior and adjust trigger activation accordingly. By analyzing user search history, operation patterns, and preferences, the system provides feedback to determine whether a trigger condition should be activated, ensuring both ease of triggering and high accuracy in matching user intent.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple trigger modes are implemented, then the coverage is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrigger mode varietyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal trigger management system that handles multiple trigger modes through a unified framework. The system uses a common evaluation mechanism that can assess different trigger modes (search, operation, time) using the same user behavior data, allowing multi-functionality without proportionally increasing complexity through centralized management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

The present disclosure discloses an easter egg presentation method, an easter egg presentation apparatus and a related device thereof. The method includes: obtaining a preference feature of a user; determining, from a plurality of candidate trigger modes preset for a target easter egg, a target trigger mode matching the preference feature; and outputting the target easter egg in response to detecting that current behavior data of the user conforms to the target trigger mode. The method can trigger the easter egg based on the preference feature of the user, achieve personalized triggering under different conditions, enhance the fun of the terminal interaction process, and enhance the interactivity between the user and the terminal, and improve the user experience.
