Message Visual Effects With Selective Content Highlighting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing techniques for providing visual effects for messages on electronic devices are cumbersome and inefficient, requiring multiple key presses and consuming unnecessary user time and device energy, particularly in battery-operated devices.
Innovation Solution
A method and interface for displaying messages with different content types using distinct visual effects, where a first content is displayed with a visual effect and a second content is displayed without, reducing the need for redundant user inputs and conserving power.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If existing techniques are used to provide visual effects for messages, then visual effects can be applied to messages, but the user interface becomes complex and time-consuming requiring multiple key presses
Solution Approach 1:
The message content is segmented into different types (first content and second content), with visual effects applied selectively to only the first content. This segmentation allows the system to apply visual effects without requiring complex user interface interactions for the entire message, thereby improving ease of operation while reducing overall complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically determines which content within a message should receive visual effects without requiring user intervention. The message processing system serves itself by autonomously identifying and applying visual effects to appropriate content types, eliminating the need for complex user interface operations.
2Productivity
If existing techniques are used to provide visual effects for messages, then visual effects can be applied to messages, but user time and device energy are wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary classification of message content into different types before applying visual effects. By pre-identifying which content should receive visual effects, the system avoids unnecessary processing steps and user interactions, thereby reducing time loss and improving overall productivity in message processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts only the necessary portion of message content (first content) that requires visual effects, rather than processing or requiring user input for the entire message. This extraction approach minimizes the time and operations needed, directly improving productivity while reducing time loss.
3Ease of operation
If existing techniques are used to provide visual effects for messages, then visual effects can be applied to messages, but device energy is consumed unnecessarily particularly in battery-operated devices
Solution Approach 1:
Visual effects are applied with local quality - only to specific portions of message content (first content) rather than uniformly to all content. This localized approach reduces the computational energy required for rendering and processing, thereby reducing overall device energy consumption while maintaining operational simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies partial action by providing visual effects only where necessary (for first content) rather than applying them excessively to all message content. This partial application reduces unnecessary energy consumption while maintaining ease of operation for the user.
