Solution Overview

Problem

Existing web-based applications display digital content uniformly, which can diminish user experience as not all portions are relevant to the user, especially in reading mode where advertisements are removed.

Innovation Solution

A system and method to identify and display relevant content in an enhanced view mode based on user information, using techniques such as user inputs, predictions, and machine learning to enhance portions of interest while maintaining other content in a standard view.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If digital content is displayed uniformly in reading mode with all content enlarged, then readability of digital content is improved, but user experience deteriorates due to display of non-relevant content

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovereadabilityVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments digital content into relevant and non-relevant portions, applying different display modes to each segment. Relevant content is displayed in enhanced reading mode with enlarged text, while non-relevant content remains in standard view, allowing selective enhancement without uniform application to all content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by providing enhanced visual characteristics (enlarged text, improved readability) only to specific portions of content deemed relevant to the user, while other portions maintain standard display characteristics. This creates differentiated quality zones within the same interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Ease of operation

If all digital content is displayed in enhanced view mode, then readability is improved, but device complexity increases due to content selection processing

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovereadabilityVSAvoidcontent selection processing
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically analyzing content and user preferences to determine relevance without requiring manual user intervention. The web-based application autonomously identifies relevant content portions and applies appropriate display modes, eliminating the need for users to manually configure each content element.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-processing content to identify relevant portions before display. The system analyzes content structure, user preferences, and context in advance to prepare the enhanced view configuration, so that when content is displayed, the differentiation between relevant and non-relevant portions is already established.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Aspects of the present disclosure include devices and methods for selecting relevant content in an enhanced view mode. In an example, a computer device may be configured to receive digital content to be displayed by a web-based application according to a first view mode. The computer device may be configured to determine an enhanced view mode is enabled, wherein the enhanced view mode is different from the first view mode. The computer device may be configured to identify one or more first portions of primary content of the digital content to be displayed according to the enhanced view mode based on user information. The computer device may be configured to cause display of the one or more first portions of the primary content in the web-based application according to the enhanced view mode, and one or more second portions of the primary content according to a second view mode different from the enhanced view mode.
