Image Service Operations via Metadata Search
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of social apps face inefficiencies in accessing and performing operations related to shared images, requiring redirects to other pages for service information and actions, which complicates the user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that allow users to obtain and perform service operations directly from shared images by storing and searching image attributes, enabling push notifications and service object information without page redirects, using a server to associate image metadata with service objects and allowing clients to perform operations like location and payment directly from the image.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users redirect to another page to access service information and perform operations related to shared images, then service operations can be completed, but user experience deteriorates due to complex operations and additional steps
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges service information and operations directly into the image display interface. When an image is displayed, service objects related to the image are automatically retrieved and presented in the same view, allowing users to perform operations without navigating to separate pages. This integration eliminates the need for redirects and streamlines the user workflow.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-fetching and caching service information associated with images before users need it. When an image is shared or displayed, the corresponding service objects are already retrieved and ready for immediate interaction, reducing access time and eliminating the need for users to wait for additional page loads.
2Speed
If service information is accessed through page redirects, then complete service operations can be performed, but operation speed decreases due to multiple navigation steps
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions (image display, service information presentation, and operation execution) into a single integrated interface. Service objects are displayed alongside or near the image, and all necessary operations can be performed from this unified view, eliminating the need for users to navigate through multiple pages and significantly improving operation speed.
Solution Approach 2:
The image display interface is designed to serve multiple functions simultaneously: displaying the image itself, presenting related service information, and enabling various service operations. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate dedicated pages for each operation, reducing navigation complexity and improving overall system efficiency.

AI summary
The present application provides a method and device for implementing service operations based on images. The method includes: after an image sharing request sent by a first user is received, storing attribute information included in the image sharing request, where the attribute information includes first location information of the images and text information entered by the first user when the first user shares the images; searching, based on the first location information and the text information, a database for a service object associated with the images; and pushing the images to a second user associated with the user, and sending information about the service object to the second user based on a predetermined policy. In the present application, the user can implement operations on a corresponding service object such as location, service search, and payment by using the images shared by the associated user, without a need to redirect to another page. Therefore, the operations are simple and fast, thereby improving use experience of the user.
