Solution Overview

Problem

In interactive applications, indicative icons fail to accurately reflect the operable state of objects across different terminals, leading to users entering application scenarios where they cannot perform actions.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that obtain and filter operable objects and previous operation records to add indicative icons to associated account lists, ensuring only operable objects are displayed, with the server maintaining the latest operation records to synchronize across terminals.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If indicative icons are added to associated account list to show current state of objects, then user can quickly identify operable accounts, but the accuracy of icons deteriorates when user logs in on different terminals

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser can quickly identify operable accountsVSAvoidaccuracy of indicative icons
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The server performs preliminary filtering of objects based on operation records before generating the associated account list. By pre-determining which objects are operable and which are not, the system ensures that indicative icons accurately reflect the current state regardless of which terminal the user accesses from.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously updates operation records in the database and uses this feedback to dynamically generate accurate indicative icons. When a user completes an operation, the system records it and regenerates the associated account list with updated icons, ensuring accuracy across all terminals.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Quantity of substance

If the system displays all objects in associated accounts, then the list is comprehensive, but users may enter scenarios where they cannot perform actions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of object displayVSAvoiduser can perform actions
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and separates operable objects from non-operable objects based on operation records. By taking out only the operable objects for display in the associated account list, the system ensures that users only see objects they can actually interact with, eliminating unnecessary entries that would lead to failed operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies different quality filters to different objects based on their operable status. Operable objects are included in the display with indicative icons, while non-operable objects are excluded. This local differentiation ensures that each displayed object meets the criteria for user interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A server may store application objects for a plurality of application scenarios of an application. The server may receive from a remote terminal configured to access a first application scenario, an operation message indicative of an interaction with an interactive graphic displayed on the remote terminal. The interactive graphic may be representative of an application object for a second application scenario. The server may select from the application objects, a group application objects for the second application scenario. The group of application objects not include the application object represented by the interactive graphic displayed on the remote terminal. The server may include, in a cache configured for the first application scenario, the selected group of application objects for the second application scenario. The server may cause the remote terminal to display interactive graphics corresponding to the selected group of application objects that are included in the cache.
