Solution Overview

Problem

Existing media content recommendation systems provide limited and monotonous display content in recommendation cards, failing to offer users comprehensive information about associated live events and their progress.

Innovation Solution

Enhance recommendation cards by displaying live content information and state controls corresponding to the progress of events, allowing users to view and interact with live content and its status directly within the media content flow.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If recommendation cards display only basic content, then the interface remains simple and easy to understand, but the information richness and user engagement are limited

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

Solution Approach 1:

The recommendation card is segmented into multiple functional zones: basic content display area, live content information area with video thumbnails, and state control area with progress indicators. This segmentation allows comprehensive information presentation while maintaining interface organization and clarity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds a temporal dimension to the recommendation card by incorporating live content information with progress indicators and state controls that reflect real-time event status. This transforms the static recommendation card into a dynamic interface that displays information across multiple dimensions (spatial layout + temporal progression).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Adaptability or versatility

If recommendation cards display comprehensive live content information, then user engagement and information richness improve, but the display becomes more complex and may overwhelm users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidinterface usability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Different areas of the recommendation card are assigned specific functions with appropriate visual characteristics. The live content area uses video thumbnails for visual appeal, the progress indicators use linear progress bars for clear status communication, and state controls use distinct icons for intuitive interaction. This local differentiation enhances user engagement while maintaining ease of operation through familiar interface patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The recommendation card dynamically updates based on event progress. Progress indicators automatically advance as events unfold, state controls change appearance based on current status (e.g., different icons for different event stages), and the interface adapts to reflect real-time information without requiring user intervention to refresh.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

If the recommendation card includes interactive state controls, then user interaction efficiency improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The state controls are designed to be self-explanatory with intuitive icons and visual feedback that require no additional explanation or training. Users can directly interact with the controls based on their visual appearance, and the system automatically processes these interactions and updates the display accordingly, eliminating the need for complex underlying systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The state controls serve multiple functions within a unified interface element. Each control can display event progress, indicate current status, provide interaction capability, and offer visual feedback - all through a single integrated component. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate controls for each function, thereby reducing overall system complexity while maintaining high interaction efficiency.

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