E-Book Reading Assistant Responses Based on Book Type
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing e-book reading applications do not efficiently provide users with information tailored to the type of e-book they are reading, affecting reading efficiency.
Innovation Solution
An information processing method and apparatus that includes displaying a reading page of an e-book and a dialogue page for interacting with a digital assistant, where the digital assistant provides responses based on the e-book's type, such as serialized or finished, to offer relevant information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a reading application provides generic information for all e-books, then the system complexity is low, but the reading efficiency and user satisfaction deteriorate due to lack of personalized information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments e-books into different types (serialized books and finished books) and provides different information services for each type. The reading application is divided into multiple functional modules including type detection module, information acquisition module, and information presentation module, which work together to provide personalized information without requiring complete system redesign.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary detection of e-book types upon opening a book, and pre-acquires relevant information (such as plot introductions, character relationships, or author comments) before the user needs it. This preliminary action enables fast information delivery during reading, improving reading efficiency without adding complex real-time processing.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the reading application provides detailed information for all e-book types, then user information needs are met, but the information accuracy and relevance deteriorate due to one-size-fits-all approach
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different information strategies to different e-book types. For serialized books, it provides plot introductions and spoilers to help users understand ongoing storylines. For finished books, it provides author comments and literary analysis to enhance appreciation. Each local region (e-book type) receives customized information quality matching its specific needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the type of information provided based on the detected e-book type. The information acquisition and presentation mechanisms are flexible and can switch between different information modes (plot information, character relationships, author comments) depending on the book type, ensuring information relevance without requiring manual user configuration.
3Loss of information
If the reading application detects and processes e-book types in real-time, then information relevance is improved, but the processing time and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs e-book type detection and information acquisition as preliminary actions when the book is first opened or imported. This timing allows the system to prepare relevant information in advance without interrupting the user's reading flow. The detected book type and acquired information are cached for quick retrieval during reading, minimizing real-time processing delays.
Solution Approach 2:
The reading application automatically detects e-book types and acquires relevant information without requiring user intervention or manual configuration. The system self-services by monitoring book metadata, analyzing content patterns, and autonomously selecting appropriate information types, reducing the time users would otherwise spend configuring preferences while maintaining high information relevance.

AI summary
The embodiments of the present disclosure provides an information processing method and apparatus, and a related product, where the method includes: displaying a reading page of a first e-book; displaying a dialogue page for dialoguing with a digital assistant in response to a trigger operation for the digital assistant on the reading page by a user; and displaying, in response to a first message sent by the user to the digital assistant on the dialogue page, a second message which is replied to the first message by the digital assistant based on a book type of the first e-book on the dialogue page, where the book type of the first e-book includes a serialized book or a finished book.
