Solution Overview

Problem

Existing message notification systems are overly simplistic, using a red dot to indicate new messages without reflecting the specific content, and do not allow for direct operation of new messages, reducing efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A data processing method that displays a message list with a message preview box containing an avatar area and a target area, showing a preview message and a resource animation based on media content, allowing direct execution of message services upon trigger operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a red dot is used to indicate new messages, then the notification is simple and easy to implement, but the notification cannot reflect specific content and cannot highlight important messages

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of notification implementationVSAvoidmessage content information
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The message notification is segmented into multiple visual elements: the red dot for basic notification, the message preview text for content information, and the resource animation for content-specific visualization. This segmentation allows each element to serve its specific function while collectively providing comprehensive information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The notification transitions from a single-dimensional red dot to a multi-dimensional composite element that includes text information and visual animations. This dimensional expansion enables the notification to convey both basic presence and specific content information simultaneously.

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

2Device complexity

If a red dot is used for message notification, then the interface remains simple, but no operation can be performed on the new message directly, requiring entry into chat interface

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface complexityVSAvoidtime to process new message
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The resource animation and message preview information are prepared and displayed in advance within the message list, before the user needs to access the full chat. This preliminary presentation allows users to quickly identify and prioritize messages without entering the chat interface first.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The resource animation serves as an intermediary element between the simple red dot notification and the full message content. It provides actionable visual information that can be interacted with directly, serving as a bridge that reduces the steps needed to access and process the message.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If all messages are displayed with the same red dot, then the notification system is uniform and simple, but messages that need focused attention cannot be highlighted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenotification uniformityVSAvoidmessage priority differentiation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

Different parts of the notification display different qualities of information: the red dot provides uniform notification presence, while the message preview text and resource animation provide differentiated content-specific information. This local differentiation allows important messages to be highlighted through their unique content representation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The resource animation introduces dynamic visual elements that can change appearance based on message content and priority. This visual differentiation allows the system to maintain uniform notification structure while enabling precise message prioritization through varied visual cues.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

AI summary

A data processing method includes displaying, in an application interface, a message list including a message preview box that includes an avatar area and a target area not overlapping the avatar area, displaying, in the message preview box, a preview message generated based on an original interaction message, displaying, in the target area, a resource animation including a virtual image and determined based on media content in the original interaction message and a media format of the media content, and executing, in response to a trigger operation on the resource animation, a message service associated with the original interaction message.
