Group Content Recommendation Interface With Preselected User Accounts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices lack efficient methods for displaying media content recommendations based on a group of user accounts, leading to cognitive burden and unnecessary processor and battery power consumption.
Innovation Solution
The device allows users to designate a set of user accounts for personalized media content recommendations, reducing redundant user inputs and optimizing processor and battery usage by displaying content tailored to the selected accounts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the device displays media content recommendations for multiple user accounts individually, then each user receives personalized recommendations, but the cognitive burden and processor/battery power consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the user account selection process by allowing users to pre-designate groups of user accounts. The interface divides the task into two phases: (1) account grouping during setup, and (2) content display for the designated group. This segmentation reduces redundant operations and optimizes power usage during content consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by requiring users to designate their user accounts in advance before consuming media content. The device stores this designation and automatically applies it during content playback, eliminating the need to repeatedly prompt users during actual content consumption and reducing processor cycles and battery power.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the device prompts users to select user accounts during media content consumption, then personalized recommendations are provided, but the user experience deteriorates due to repeated prompts
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs the user account selection action in advance, before the actual media content consumption begins. The device stores the designated user accounts and automatically retrieves them during content playback, eliminating repeated prompts and improving ease of operation while maintaining personalized recommendations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a copy of the user account designation that can be stored and reused across multiple media content consumption sessions. Instead of requiring users to re-select accounts each time, the device references the stored copy, reducing cognitive burden and improving user experience.
3Ease of operation
If the device does not provide user account selection options, then the interface is simpler, but personalized recommendations cannot be provided
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the functionality into two distinct phases: a setup phase where users designate user accounts (providing adaptability), and a content consumption phase where the interface remains simple (maintaining ease of operation). The device transitions between these phases, presenting complexity only when necessary for account configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs the complex user account designation action preliminarily, before the user begins consuming media content. Once designated, the interface remains simple during actual content consumption, as the device automatically applies the pre-configured user account selections without requiring further user input.

AI summary
In some embodiments, an electronic device presents recommended content for a set of users in accordance with some embodiments of the disclosure. The electronic device is associated with a plurality of user accounts, including a first user account, displaying, via a display generation component, a media browsing user interface associated with the first user account. In accordance a determination that the first user account satisfies one or more criteria and in accordance with a determination that a first subset of user accounts of the plurality of user accounts associated with the electronic device has been selected for inclusion in content recommendations, the electronic device is configured to display, in the media browsing user interface, one or more representations of media content recommendations based on one or more characteristics of the first user account and the first subset of user accounts.
