Solution Overview

Problem

Existing content sharing applications lack effective guidance mechanisms to encourage users to engage in multimedia content creation, relying solely on user initiative which is often insufficient for increasing user participation and content generation.

Innovation Solution

Implementing creation guidance information in active application pages to guide users to the creation function, using visual representations and interactive elements to switch to a creation page, personalized based on user history and preferences, and presenting targeted incentives to motivate content creation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the application relies solely on user initiative to create multimedia content, then the application structure remains simple, but user participation and content generation are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent generationVSAvoidapplication structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces guidance information as an intermediary element between the user and the creation function. This guidance information includes visual representations (icons, images, videos) and text descriptions that mediate the user's understanding and motivation to create content. The guidance information acts as a bridge that simplifies the interaction while enhancing user engagement without requiring complex application structure changes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by providing guidance information before the user actually creates content. The guidance information is presented in advance to help users understand what they can create, how to create it, and what incentives they will receive. This preliminary guidance prepares users for the creation process, reducing the cognitive load during actual content creation while maintaining simple application architecture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If guidance information is presented to users, then user engagement and content creation are enhanced, but the active page layout becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser guidanceVSAvoidpage layout
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the guidance information into distinct visual elements (icons, images, videos) and text components that can be independently managed and displayed. The guidance information is divided into multiple guidance items, each with its own visual representation and description. This segmentation allows the system to present comprehensive guidance without creating a cluttered or overly complex page layout, as each element can be independently positioned and styled

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by allowing different visual representations and styles for different guidance items based on their specific purposes and content types. Each guidance item can have customized visual properties (icon style, image type, video format) tailored to its specific function. This localized customization enhances the effectiveness of each guidance element while maintaining overall layout simplicity through consistent structural patterns

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

The present disclosure describes techniques for user guidance of a creation mode. The techniques comprise acquiring creation guidance information for a user, the creation guidance information configured to guide the user to use a creation function in an application, and the creation function configured to create first multimedia content; presenting, in a current page of the application, second multimedia content created in a creation mode and a visual representation corresponding to the creation guidance information, the visual representation comprising a creation user interface element, the creation user interface element configured to enable the application to enter the creation mode for initiating a creation of the first multimedia content; and presenting a creation page associated with the creation function based on interaction associated with the visual representation.
