Map Visualization for Public Welfare Activity Engagement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies for online public welfare activities fail to provide a strong sense of reality for users, making them feel disconnected from participating in such activities.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that visualize public welfare activities by displaying geographic regions where activities can be carried out, allowing users to select and interact with maps showing completed and potential activity locations, along with user information and live satellite images, enhancing user engagement and experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If online public welfare activities are implemented through existing technologies, then users can participate in public welfare activities remotely, but users cannot truly feel that they have participated in public welfare activities due to poor sense of reality
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual copy of the physical public welfare activity scene through map visualization. Users interact with a digital representation (map with icons and markers) that replicates the essential elements of the physical location, allowing them to participate remotely while maintaining a sense of presence and authenticity in the public welfare activity.
2Loss of information
If map visualization with multiple icons and user information is displayed, then users can see activity locations and participant information, but the interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments information display by using different icon types to represent different meanings (first icon for completed activities, second icon for potential activities). This segmentation allows the interface to present comprehensive information without overwhelming users, as each icon category serves a distinct purpose and can be processed independently.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a visual dimension to information presentation by using spatial mapping and icon placement on a map interface. Instead of presenting information in a flat list or text format, the system uses two-dimensional map coordinates and visual markers to encode location, status, and participant information, making complex data more intuitive and easier to comprehend.
3Adaptability or versatility
If users can select and update icon states on the map, then user engagement is improved, but the interaction complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent inverts the traditional interaction model by allowing users to directly manipulate icon states on the map interface. Instead of requiring users to navigate through multiple menus or forms to record their participation, the system enables direct selection and updating of icons, simplifying the interaction while maintaining high user engagement and adaptability.

AI summary
A method for implementing visualization of public welfare activities includes: displaying to a target user a map of a geographic region for carrying out a public welfare activity in response to the target user's selection, wherein the map comprises a first geographic location associated with a first icon indicating that the public welfare activity has been carried out at the first geographic location and a second geographic location associated with a second icon indicating that the public welfare activity is able to be carried out at the second geographic location; when a relationship exists between the target user and a public welfare activity participant user that has carried out the public welfare activity on the map, displaying on the map user information of the public welfare activity participant user; updating the second icon to be a first icon in response to the target user's selection on the second icon.
