Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional splash screen advertisements in the mobile Internet era lead to poor user experiences due to their static nature and increasing lengths, failing to effectively engage users during the waiting period before an application starts.

Innovation Solution

A multimedia information processing method and system that triggers a request for multimedia information associated with an application, displaying interactive prompting information to users, which includes voice control, input, or selection tasks, thereby extending the types of advertisements and enhancing user interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If splash screen advertisement length is increased, then advertisement inventory digestion is improved, but user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertisement inventory digestionVSAvoiduser waiting time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The splash screen advertisement transitions from a static display to a dynamic interactive experience. The system dynamically adjusts the advertisement content and interaction requirements based on user responses, transforming the fixed-time waiting period into a flexible interactive process that can adapt to user engagement levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The advertisement system provides self-service by automatically generating interaction tasks and evaluating user responses without requiring additional manual intervention. The system autonomously manages the interactive advertisement workflow, including task generation, user response detection, and subsequent content delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Device complexity

If splash screen advertisement is made static, then device complexity is reduced, but user engagement deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertisement system complexityVSAvoiduser interaction capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The advertisement system is segmented into distinct functional modules: interaction task generation, user response detection, and content delivery. Each module operates independently but coordinates with others, allowing the system to achieve complex interactive functionality while maintaining manageable system architecture through clear separation of concerns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The splash screen advertisement system performs multiple functions within a unified framework: it displays traditional advertisement content, generates interactive tasks, detects user responses, and delivers customized content based on interaction results. This multi-functionality allows the system to engage users actively while consolidating diverse operations into a single versatile platform.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Adaptability or versatility

If interactive prompting information is added, then user engagement is improved, but information processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction capabilityVSAvoidinformation processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-generating interaction tasks and preparing response evaluation criteria before user interaction begins. This advance preparation reduces real-time processing complexity, as the framework and evaluation standards are already established when user responses arrive, enabling faster and more efficient information processing during actual interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
