Interaction-Aware Information Presentation for Reduced Notification Overload
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information presenting methods on application platforms are not satisfactory and lack diversity in presenting associated information with a user's interaction relationship, necessitating improvements for enhanced user interaction efficiency.
Innovation Solution
An information presenting method and apparatus that determines and displays target associated information based on a preset entry, allowing users to view information with a preset interaction relationship, including features like prompt information for new interactions and efficient sorting, thereby enhancing interaction efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If all associated information is presented to users, then information completeness is improved, but information overload and user confusion increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments associated information into different categories (new interactions vs. historical interactions, different interaction types) and presents them in separate sections or with different visual indicators. This allows users to access complete information while avoiding overload by organizing it into manageable segments with clear hierarchical structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different presentation qualities to different pieces of information based on their importance and recency. New interactions receive prominent display with special markers, while older interactions are presented with reduced visual emphasis. This local differentiation helps users focus on important information while still having access to complete data.
2Ease of operation
If detailed associated information is displayed, then interaction clarity is improved, but interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The interface is segmented into functional zones: a main content area for current interactions, a sidebar or collapsed section for additional details, and navigation elements for switching between different information views. This segmentation maintains clarity in the primary view while providing access to detailed information without increasing overall interface complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The interface employs dynamic elements such as expandable/collapsible sections, hover-to-reveal details, and adaptive layout that responds to user interaction patterns. This allows the interface to present simplified views by default while providing detailed information on demand, maintaining clarity without sacrificing completeness.
3Loss of information
If notifications are sent for all interactions, then user awareness is improved, but user disturbance increases
Solution Approach 1:
The notification system applies different notification qualities based on interaction type, user preferences, and context. Important interactions (e.g., messages, mentions) trigger immediate notifications, while less critical interactions (e.g., likes, comments) may use subtle indicators or batched notifications. This local differentiation maintains user awareness while reducing disturbance from non-critical notifications.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where users can adjust notification preferences based on their experience, and the system learns from user behavior patterns to optimize notification delivery. This allows the system to maintain high awareness for important interactions while automatically reducing notifications that cause disturbance, creating a self-adjusting notification strategy.

AI summary
Disclosed herein are an information presenting method and apparatus, a device, and a storage medium. The information presenting method includes: in response to that a preset entry is triggered, determining target associated information corresponding to the preset entry, wherein the target associated information comprises associated information having a preset interaction relationship with a current user and comprising information associated with a preset content; and displaying a target interface, wherein the target interface is configured to present at least one piece of target associated information.
