Solution Overview

Problem

Current electronic reading methods disrupt continuity as users need to interrupt their reading to search for additional information, leading to reduced reading efficiency and a poor user experience.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that determine extended reading content by recognizing user requirements within a target page and providing relevant resources, such as videos or audio, to enhance reading depth and breadth without leaving the current page.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users independently construct search terms to meet new reading requirements, then user information needs are satisfied, but reading continuity is broken and reading efficiency is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser information needs satisfactionVSAvoidreading efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically performs requirement recognition on reading content and autonomously searches for and presents extended reading resources without user intervention. The terminal device itself serves the user's information needs by implementing the entire process from requirement recognition to resource presentation, eliminating the need for users to manually search while maintaining reading continuity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs requirement recognition and resource search in advance during the reading process. By proactively identifying information needs and preparing extended resources before the user explicitly requests them, the system ensures that relevant information is readily available when needed, maintaining reading flow while satisfying information requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If users independently construct search terms to meet new reading requirements, then user information needs are satisfied, but reading continuity is broken

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser information needs satisfactionVSAvoidreading continuity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically performs requirement recognition on reading content and autonomously searches for and presents extended reading resources without user intervention. The terminal device itself serves the user's information needs by implementing the entire process from requirement recognition to resource presentation, eliminating the need for users to manually search while maintaining reading continuity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system acts as an intermediary between the reading content and the user's information needs. By automatically recognizing requirements and retrieving extended resources, the system mediates the interaction, allowing users to access additional information without directly interrupting their reading flow, thus preserving reading continuity while satisfying information needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If extended reading resources are automatically provided based on requirement recognition, then reading depth and breadth are expanded, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereading depth and breadthVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically performs requirement recognition on reading content and autonomously searches for and presents extended reading resources without user intervention. The terminal device itself serves the user's information needs by implementing the entire process from requirement recognition to resource presentation, eliminating the need for users to manually search while maintaining reading continuity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The requirement recognition module is designed to handle multiple types of reading content (text, images, videos) and generate various types of extended resources (related content, background information, supplementary materials). This multi-functional design allows the system to expand reading depth and breadth across different content types while using a unified processing framework, managing complexity through generalization.

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

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for determining an extended reading content, a device, and a storage medium, relating to the field of data processing. The method may include: displaying a target page, in response to a viewing request to the target page; giving a reading prompt to an extended reading resource in the target page, based on a corresponding relationship between a requirement recognition result of at least one target reading content in the target page and the extended reading resource; and displaying the extended reading resource, in response to the viewing request matching the reading prompt.
