Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information display methods in media stream sharing do not effectively integrate personal content with shared content, leading to suboptimal user experience and interaction efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that display personal content alongside shared media streams using a floating control, which includes controls for interaction management and information display, enhancing user experience and interaction convenience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If multiple applications are displayed in a list form on the home screen, then users can access more applications, but the screen layout becomes cluttered and user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of displayed applicationsVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the display area into multiple regions (first display area and second display area) to accommodate different types of applications. Frequently used applications are placed in the first display area while less frequently used applications are placed in the second display area, allowing both to be visible without cluttering the entire screen.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a traditional single-dimensional list layout to a multi-dimensional grid layout with multiple display areas. This dimensional change allows applications to be organized spatially by usage frequency, enabling more applications to be displayed in a visually organized manner rather than a cluttered list.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Productivity

If the home screen layout is changed to display more applications, then application accessibility improves, but screen space utilization becomes inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication accessibilityVSAvoidscreen space utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic layout that automatically adjusts the display based on application usage frequency. The system dynamically determines which applications to place in the first display area versus the second display area, optimizing screen space utilization while maintaining high application accessibility without wasting screen real estate.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Disclosed in embodiments of the present disclosure are an information display method and apparatus, a device, and a storage medium. The method comprises: displaying, in a target page of a preset application, first content corresponding to a first user, displaying a floating control in the target page, and displaying a shared media stream in the floating control, the shared media stream comprising a media stream corresponding to a sharing interaction between the first user and at least one second user; and displaying a preset control in the floating control, wherein the preset control is used for at least one of: displaying information associated with the sharing interaction between the first user and the at least one second user, and controlling the sharing interaction between the first user and the at least one second user.
