Injecting Object Identifiers into Feeds via Segmented Controls
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current electronic device interaction methods limit users' ability to search for, share, and experience objects beyond basic keyword-based searches, as they do not allow for seamless integration of additional relevant object identifiers into existing feeds.
Innovation Solution
The system introduces injection controls within object identifiers, allowing users to interact with these controls to inject additional related object identifiers into the current feed, enabling continuous viewing of original and new content without transitioning to different presentations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users interact with object identifiers using traditional methods, then the interface remains simple, but the ability to search for and experience objects beyond basic keyword searches is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the interaction by introducing distinct injection control elements (such as sidebar controls or overlay controls) that are separate from the main feed interface. These segmented controls allow users to access additional object identifiers without complicating the primary viewing experience, resolving the contradiction by providing enhanced search capability through a separated, optional interface layer.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary injection control mechanism that mediates between the user and the object identifier feed. This intermediary layer provides advanced search and filtering capabilities without directly complicating the main interface, as it acts as a bridge that translates user interactions into refined feed presentations.
2Loss of information
If additional related object identifiers are injected into the current feed, then information accessibility is improved, but the feed structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic feed structure where additional object identifiers are injected based on real-time user interactions and preferences. The feed dynamically adjusts its composition by inserting relevant objects at appropriate positions, maintaining information accessibility while adapting the structure to user needs rather than following a fixed complex pattern.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by injecting additional object identifiers at specific locations within the feed rather than uniformly throughout. The injection controls and resulting object insertions are localized to relevant positions based on user interaction points, providing enhanced information accessibility without uniformly complicating the entire feed structure.
3Ease of operation
If users can interact with both original and new object identifiers in a unified interface, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the original object identifier feed with additional injected objects into a single unified presentation interface. Both types of objects are displayed together in a cohesive feed that users can navigate seamlessly, improving ease of operation by eliminating the need to switch between different views or interfaces despite the increased system architecture complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal interface that handles both original and injected object identifiers through the same interaction mechanisms. The unified feed supports multiple functions (displaying original content, injecting additional content, handling user interactions) through a single multi-functional presentation layer, improving navigation ease while consolidating system complexity into a universal handler.

AI summary
Disclosed are systems and methods for inserting or injecting additional object identifiers into a currently presented feed or presentation of object identifiers. For example, a user of a portable device may view a feed or set of object identifiers, such as images of objects, that is presented on the display of the portable device. As the user views the object identifiers, the user may interact with one or more of those object identifiers by selecting an interaction control associated with the object identifier to indicate an interest in the object identifier. In response to the interaction, rather than presenting a new set of object identifiers, the described implementations insert or inject additional object identifiers into the current feed or set of object identifiers so that the user can continue to view the current object identifiers as well as the additional object identifiers.
