Electronic Device Message Display Based on Association Degree
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current social tool message layouts do not prioritize messages from groups of interest to users, leading to important messages being difficult to find due to chronological display methods that do not account for user attention levels towards different groups.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus determines an association degree between the user and conversation objects or groups, rearranging conversation messages based on this degree to display important messages prominently on the interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If messages are displayed according to the chronological sequence of generation, then the display order is simple and clear, but important messages from groups of interest may be buried at the bottom and difficult to find
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the sorting parameter from chronological time to association degree. Messages are no longer sorted purely by generation time but by a calculated association degree between the user and the conversation object or group, which determines display priority and position.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different display priorities to different messages based on their association degree with the user. Messages from highly associated groups are displayed prominently at the top, while messages from less associated groups are displayed lower, creating a differentiated display quality based on user relevance.
2Adaptability or versatility
If messages from all groups are displayed equally, then the display is fair and comprehensive, but messages from unfamiliar or less important groups occupy prominent positions, reducing user efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an association degree parameter that quantifies the relationship between the user and conversation objects. This parameter is used to weight and prioritize messages, transforming the display from equal treatment to differentiated treatment based on user relevance.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-calculates and stores association degrees between users and conversation objects/groups before message display. This preliminary calculation allows the system to quickly prioritize and arrange messages without real-time computation, improving display efficiency.
3Ease of manufacture
If the display arrangement is based on message generation time, then the implementation is straightforward, but the user experience does not account for differential attention to different groups
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the display arrangement from a simple time-based parameter to a composite parameter including association degree. This allows the system to maintain automated operation while significantly improving user experience by accounting for individual user preferences and relationships.

AI summary
A processing method includes in response to obtaining, by an electronic apparatus, a conversation message sent by a target conversation object, determining an association degree between a current user of the electronic apparatus and the target conversation object at least based on the current user and an association object of the target conversation object and displaying, at least based on the association degree, the conversation message at a corresponding position of a target interface according to an arrangement rule.
