Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information acquisition methods for new users of application programs are inaccurate, leading to inefficient and imprecise selection of interest information due to broad theme tags or topical data without considering user interests.

Innovation Solution

An information acquisition method and device that displays an information acquisition page with selectable display information, allowing progressive selection of same-level and next-level details based on user triggers, facilitating a more detailed and accurate determination of target acquisition information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If broad theme tags or topical data are used for information acquisition, then the coverage of information is wide, but the accuracy of determining user interests is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of interest information acquisitionVSAvoidcomplexity of information acquisition page
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the information acquisition process into multiple hierarchical levels (first-level display information, second-level display information, etc.). Each level divides the broad theme tags into more specific sub-themes, allowing users to progressively narrow down their interests from general categories to specific topics, thereby improving accuracy without overwhelming users with all information at once.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a hierarchical dimension to the information acquisition process by organizing display information into multiple levels. This dimensional transformation allows the system to present information in a structured progression from broad to specific, enabling accurate interest detection while maintaining manageable page complexity through organized presentation.

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

2Measurement precision

If multiple levels of display information are displayed progressively, then the accuracy of interest information selection is improved, but the time required for information acquisition increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of interest information acquisitionVSAvoidtime for information acquisition
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent prepares multiple levels of display information in advance, organizing them into a hierarchical structure before presentation. The system pre-processes and structures the information so that when users interact with the acquisition page, they can quickly navigate through predetermined levels without experiencing delays in information retrieval or processing, thus reducing the time penalty of multi-level selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If broad theme tags are used for information acquisition, then the ease of operation is high, but the fine granularity of selecting interest information is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefine granularity of interest information selectionVSAvoidease of information acquisition
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic information acquisition process where the display information evolves based on user interactions. The system adapts by revealing subsequent levels of more granular information only when users demonstrate interest in broader categories, creating a flexible progression that maintains ease of operation for users with general interests while enabling fine-grained selection for users seeking specific topics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
