Solution Overview

Problem

The existing emoji interaction modes are single and lack diversity, which affects user experience, particularly for anchors who cannot preview how emojis will appear to users on the receiving end.

Innovation Solution

An emoji preview method and apparatus that allows users to acquire and display a preview of how emojis will appear to others, enabling real-time adjustments based on the display effect on the receiving end, including features like cropping, resizing, and editing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If emoji interaction mode is kept simple, then ease of operation is improved, but user experience diversity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemoji interaction simplicityVSAvoiduser experience diversity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adapts the emoji interaction mode based on the communication context. When a user sends an emoji, the system automatically switches to a preview mode that allows real-time adjustment of emoji display parameters (size, position, style), transforming a static simple interaction into a dynamic adaptive experience that provides both simplicity and diversity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the display parameters of emojis (size, position, style) in real-time based on user adjustments and context analysis. This allows the same emoji to have different visual presentations, enhancing user experience diversity without complicating the basic interaction mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If emoji preview function is added, then user experience is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemoji preview capabilityVSAvoidsystem structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces a context analysis module as an intermediary that automatically determines when and how to activate the preview function. This mediator analyzes the communication context (message type, recipient, timing) and triggers the preview mode only when appropriate, avoiding the need for complex user-controlled preview mechanisms while still providing enhanced functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs automatic context analysis and self-determines when to activate the emoji preview function without requiring complex user configuration or control. The system serves itself by automatically identifying suitable scenarios for preview and activating the appropriate display modes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If real-time emoji adjustment is enabled, then ease of operation is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemoji adjustment convenienceVSAvoidemoji processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements partial real-time processing by allowing users to adjust only the most important emoji parameters (size and position) in real-time, while other parameters are processed automatically or pre-configured. This selective real-time adjustment reduces the overall processing time while still providing the convenience of real-time modification for critical attributes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
