Memories Screen Ranking for Cross-App Media Presentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing camera systems on mobile devices lack an efficient and seamless way to present and rank media content captured from diverse sources, requiring users to switch between applications and screens to view images and videos.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a 'memories' screen in the interaction client that automatically retrieves and ranks media content from various sources, presenting it as ranked vignettes or thumbnails, including content from the interaction client and other applications, with engagement and timestamp-based ranking, and supports media overlays.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If media content is presented across multiple applications and screens, then users can access content from diverse sources, but user interaction becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges media content from multiple applications (camera application, photo application, messaging application, etc.) into a single unified presentation screen. The system retrieves media content items from various applications and displays them together as ranked vignettes or thumbnails in one view, eliminating the need for users to switch between applications to view their media content.
Solution Approach 2:
The presentation screen serves as a universal interface that handles media content from diverse sources simultaneously. It provides a multi-functional display capability that can show camera rolls, photo library content, shared media, and other application content in a single unified view with consistent interaction patterns.
2Adaptability or versatility
If media content from multiple sources is integrated, then comprehensive content access is achieved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary component (the presentation screen with its retrieval and ranking system) that mediates between multiple application data sources and the user interface. This intermediary layer handles the complexity of integrating content from various applications by providing a unified access point and consistent display format, shielding users from the underlying system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments the media content presentation into modular components: retrieval modules that access different applications, ranking modules that organize content, and display modules that present vignettes or thumbnails. This segmentation allows each component to handle specific tasks independently, making the overall system more manageable despite integrating multiple sources.
3Ease of operation
If automatic retrieval and ranking is implemented, then user experience is enhanced, but processing time and resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically retrieving and ranking media content in advance of user viewing. The presentation screen retrieves media content items from various applications and pre-ranks them based on engagement metrics and timestamps, so that content is ready for immediate display without requiring user-initiated searches or manual organization at the moment of viewing.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes parameters by dynamically ranking media content based on multiple factors including engagement metrics (likes, comments, shares) and timestamps. This parameter-based ranking automatically adjusts the presentation order of media items to reflect user engagement patterns and recency, enhancing user experience without requiring manual intervention.
Data Source
AI summary
A system includes one or more hardware processors and at least one memory storing instructions that cause the one or more hardware processors to perform operations including retrieving a first set of a media content captured by an interaction client included in a client device, and retrieving a second set of media content captured by the interaction client included in the client device. The operations also include assigning the first set of media content a first ranking value, and assigning the second set of media content a second ranking value, creating a first visual representation of the first set of media content and a second visual representation of the second set of the second set of media content based on the first ranking value and on the second ranking value, and causing to display, on a display of the client device, the first visual representation and the second visual representation.
