Solution Overview

Problem

Current page layouts in applications are disorganized due to limited display space and numerous functions, making it inefficient for users to find and access the desired functions.

Innovation Solution

The method involves displaying a personal homepage with non-overlapping presentation areas, where user-specific functions and multimedia content are categorized into separate sets, with one set invisible to guests, allowing for clear and efficient navigation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple functions are added to enrich application features, then the application functionality is improved, but the page layout becomes disordered and harder to navigate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication functionalityVSAvoidpage navigation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The personal homepage is segmented into multiple distinct presentation areas (first presentation area for user-specific functions, second presentation area for multimedia content). This segmentation organizes the disordered layout by creating clear spatial boundaries between different function types, making it easier for users to navigate and find specific functions despite the increased number of available features.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If more functions are displayed on the personal homepage, then the application versatility is improved, but the display space becomes insufficient and layout becomes chaotic

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunction quantityVSAvoidpage display space
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from a single-dimensional linear layout to a two-dimensional spatial organization with multiple presentation areas arranged in different regions of the page. This dimensional change allows more functions to be displayed simultaneously without creating a chaotic layout, as the multi-area structure provides natural spatial grouping and hierarchy.

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

3Loss of information

If user-specific functions are made visible to all users, then the information completeness is improved, but the privacy protection is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidprivacy exposure
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

Different presentation areas are assigned different visibility properties: the first presentation area containing user-specific functions is visible only to the user themselves, while the second presentation area with multimedia content is visible to all users. This local quality differentiation allows the system to maintain information completeness for each user while protecting their privacy by selectively controlling visibility in different spatial regions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A page processing method, apparatus, device, and storage medium are provided. One of the methods includes: displaying a first personal homepage of a first user in a preset application program, wherein a currently logged in identity of the preset application program is consistent with the first user, and the first personal homepage comprises a first presentation area and a second presentation area; displaying in a first sub-area of the first presentation area the user identifier of the first user, displaying in a second sub-area of the first presentation area an entry of a first function in a first function set, displaying in the second presentation area information associated with multimedia content published by the first user and displaying an entry of a second function in a second function set, wherein the second sub-area is invisible to a second user when the second user accesses the first personal homepage.
