Solution Overview

Problem

Existing live streaming platforms inefficiently display objects, requiring users to browse lists in added order, making it difficult to find target objects.

Innovation Solution

An object display method and apparatus that includes a first and second display list on an interface, where the second list is arranged based on correlation information with the user, allowing switching between lists for improved object retrieval.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If objects are displayed in added order in the live streaming interface, then the display structure is simple and easy to implement, but users cannot efficiently find target objects and must browse through the entire list

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveobject retrieval efficiencyVSAvoiddisplay structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the object display into two separate lists: a first list showing objects in added order and a second list showing objects arranged by correlation information with the user. This segmentation allows users to choose between simple chronological display and intelligent recommendation display, improving object retrieval efficiency without requiring the entire system to be complex.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic switching between two display modes through a switching control. Users can toggle between the first display list (added order) and the second display list (correlation-based order), allowing the display structure to adapt dynamically to user needs while maintaining implementation simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If a single display list is used in the live streaming interface, then the interface is simple and easy to operate, but users cannot access both chronological and personalized object views

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay mode flexibilityVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the display functionality into two distinct lists with different sorting criteria. The first list maintains objects in added order for chronological viewing, while the second list arranges objects by correlation information for personalized recommendations. This segmentation provides display mode flexibility without significantly increasing interface complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The switching control serves multiple functions: it allows users to switch between display lists, provides visual indicators of current display mode, and can trigger display of text description information. This multi-functionality increases adaptability while minimizing the addition of separate controls.

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

3Productivity

If the second display list with correlation-based arrangement is always shown, then object discovery efficiency is maximized, but users cannot view objects in chronological order when needed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveobject discovery efficiencyVSAvoidaccess to chronological view
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic display system where users can switch between the first list (chronological order) and the second list (correlation-based order) using a switching control. This dynamic capability ensures that object discovery efficiency is maximized when using the correlation-based list, while chronological viewing remains easily accessible when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent provides visual feedback through display indicators that show users which list is currently active and what sorting criterion is being applied. This feedback mechanism helps users understand the current display state and makes switching between views more intuitive, maintaining ease of operation while enabling efficient object discovery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
