Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face the challenge of managing unwanted messages in their social media feeds, particularly in platforms like WeChat, where they cannot easily block friends or avoid commercial advertisements without losing access to their friends' updates.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for determining and screening out unwanted messages by identifying 'screened messages' based on user interaction, such as reading frequency or duration, and sliding these messages out of the display page when recognized, allowing users to focus on relevant content while maintaining social connections.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If users block friends or avoid commercial advertisements, then unwanted messages are filtered out, but users lose access to friends' updates and social connections
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes only the unwanted portions of messages (advertisements, spam) from the display stream while keeping the rest of the content visible. This is achieved by identifying specific message characteristics and selectively removing them, allowing users to filter harmful content without losing access to legitimate friends' updates and social connections.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If users manually review each message to identify unwanted content, then filtering accuracy improves, but user time and effort increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic identification and removal of unwanted messages without requiring user intervention. The terminal device autonomously analyzes incoming messages, detects unwanted content based on predefined criteria, and filters it out automatically, saving users significant time and effort while maintaining effective filtering.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates user feedback mechanisms where user interactions with filtered messages (such as marking them as unwanted or desired) are used to continuously improve the filtering algorithm. This feedback loop enables the system to learn from user behavior patterns and enhance filtering accuracy over time without increasing user time investment.
3Loss of information
If all messages are displayed to users, then information completeness is maintained, but user attention and processing time are wasted on uninteresting content
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes only the unwanted portions of messages (advertisements, spam) from the display stream while keeping the rest of the content visible. This is achieved by identifying specific message characteristics and selectively removing them, allowing users to filter harmful content without losing access to legitimate friends' updates and social connections.

AI summary
A method and a device for displaying a message are provided. The method includes: determining one or more screened messages; receiving a first instruction for triggering a display page to present one or more new messages, and determining one or more to-be-presented messages according to the first instruction; determining a first message of one or more to-be-presented messages as a target message, and deciding whether the target message is a screened message; and sliding the target message out of the display page if it is decided that the target message is a screened message. Accordingly, it can effectively screen contents a user is not interested in and save time for the user.
