Solution Overview

Problem

Existing live streaming interfaces fail to effectively present distance information between applicable stores for group buying products, misleading users about their proximity to the streamer, thus reducing the effectiveness of information presentation.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that display a live streaming interface showing the distance between the user and the nearest store associated with the streamer, utilizing user-authorized location data to determine and present this proximity on the interface.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the live streaming interface displays distance information to group buying stores, then user engagement and decision-making are enhanced, but the accuracy of distance representation was previously insufficient leading to misleading perception

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedistance accuracyVSAvoidmisleading distance perception
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-calculates and stores location information for multiple group buying stores associated with the live streaming content. Before displaying distance information to the user, the system has already determined the geographic coordinates and prepared distance calculations, ensuring accurate and immediate presentation without real-time computation delays or errors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical or manual distance estimation methods with electronic location-based services and GPS coordinate calculations. By using digital location information and automated distance computation algorithms, the system achieves precise distance measurement and eliminates the inaccuracies of manual or approximate distance representation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Loss of information

If the interface presents detailed location information for multiple stores, then information completeness is improved, but the interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the presentation of location information by prioritizing stores based on their distance from the user's location. Instead of displaying all store information uniformly, the interface divides stores into hierarchical levels (nearest first, then progressively farther stores), allowing complete information availability while maintaining a clean, organized interface structure that reduces perceived complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The interface applies local quality by providing different levels of detail for different stores based on their relevance to the user. The nearest store receives prominent display with full location details, while farther stores are presented with progressively less detail or in a condensed format, optimizing information presentation according to user needs and reducing overall interface complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a live streaming content display method and apparatus, a device, and a storage medium. The method comprises: obtaining a first target object currently displayed in or associated with live streaming content, location information respectively corresponding to at least one second target object associated with the first target object; on the basis of the location information respectively corresponding to the at least one second target object associated with the first target object, determining the distance of a nearest second target object from the current watching user; and then displaying, on a playing interface of the live streaming content, the distance of the nearest second target object from the current watching user and/or the nearest second target object.
