Solution Overview

Problem

Existing game systems lack an efficient method to integrate and synchronize game progress with user-generated posting information, limiting user engagement and community interaction through sharing experiences related to the game.

Innovation Solution

An information-processing system that includes a processor and input device for displaying and managing posting information associated with a game, allowing users to input reactions and follow contributors, with the system reflecting these interactions within a sharing service, enabling seamless integration of game progress and community interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the system displays both game screens and posting information simultaneously, then user engagement and community interaction are enhanced, but system complexity and interface management become more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidinterface management
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display screen is divided into multiple regions: a first region for displaying game screens and a second region for displaying posting information. This segmentation allows both game content and community interactions to be visible simultaneously without overwhelming the interface, resolving the contradiction by organizing complex information into manageable segments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The posting information display is nested within the overall game interface framework. The second display region is integrated into the game screen layout, allowing posting information to be embedded within the game context rather than requiring a separate full-screen interface, thus maintaining game immersion while enabling community interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system integrates game progress control with posting information responses, then community interaction is improved, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring user responses increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunity interactionVSAvoiduser response detection
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where game progress control is directly linked to posting information responses. When users interact with posting information (such as liking, commenting, or sharing), the game progress automatically updates based on predefined response rules. This automated feedback loop simplifies the detection and measurement of user responses by converting qualitative interactions into quantifiable progress metrics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

An example information-processing system includes: at least one processor; and an input device configured to receive an input operation performed by a user directed to posting information displayed by a display. The at least one processor is configured to: display first information that is displayed by executing an application on the display, and the posting information that is posted using a posting information sharing service, and that is associated with the application; and reflect the input operation received by the input device in the posting information sharing service.
