Interaction Control Display in Information Streams
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users on internet platforms face challenges in timely accessing and participating in interaction events, such as resource random allocation events, due to limited visibility of participation controls and information.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for displaying interaction information that presents a control for participating in interaction events within relevant information display areas of target content or user groups, determines user eligibility based on predefined conditions, and displays interaction information accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If interaction event controls are placed in separate pages or menus, then information organization is structured, but user access efficiency and participation timeliness deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the interaction event control with the content display area by embedding the control element directly within the information stream. This allows users to access interaction events without navigating to separate pages, resolving the contradiction by combining content consumption and interaction participation into a single unified interface view.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a temporal dimension to the display by showing interaction event controls with time-based information (event start times, countdowns). This allows users to perceive event urgency and participate timely without requiring complex multi-page navigation, effectively adding a time-awareness layer to the interface.
2Productivity
If interaction information is displayed prominently, then user engagement improves, but information display density and visual clutter increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making interaction event controls visually distinct from regular content through specific styling (buttons, icons, color coding). This allows the controls to stand out and attract user attention for engagement while occupying only specific localized areas within the information stream, preventing overall visual clutter.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic display characteristics where interaction event controls adapt their visibility and prominence based on event timing, user interaction state, and contextual relevance. This allows the system to enhance engagement when needed while maintaining clean display when interaction is not urgent, resolving the contradiction between engagement and visual density.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple interaction events are displayed simultaneously, then platform stickiness increases, but information processing complexity and user cognitive load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments multiple interaction events into distinct, independently renderable control elements within the information stream. Each event is presented as a separate interactive unit with its own control button, allowing the system to display multiple events simultaneously while maintaining manageable complexity through modular presentation and independent processing of each event type.

AI summary
There are provided a method, an apparatus, an electronic device, a computer readable storage medium, and a computer program product for displaying interaction information. In the method displaying a predetermined control in a relevant information display area or a target group of target content; in response to a triggering operation of the predetermined control, obtaining state information based on the triggering operation, the state information comprises information about whether a current user satisfies a predetermined condition and/or information about whether the current user is a predetermined state user, the predetermined state user being a user participating in a predetermined interaction event; and displaying the interaction information in the state information.
