Instant Messaging Profile View Dynamic Set Item Application

Resolve Bottlenecks,
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing instant messaging services lack a comprehensive method to dynamically update and customize user profile views, particularly in providing personalized and interactive content based on user relationships and engagement with official accounts or advertisers.

Innovation Solution

A method is introduced that allows users to select and apply set items, which include various profile items, to their personal account profile views. These set items can be associated with official accounts or advertisers and are conditionally provided based on user interactions, such as establishing friend relationships or participating in events.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If set items are conditionally provided based on user relationships and engagement, then user engagement and brand visibility are improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser engagementVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically changes the availability and content of set items based on user parameters such as relationship status with official accounts, engagement level, and participation in events. This allows the profile view to adapt to different user states without requiring a completely different system architecture for each scenario.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-prepares multiple set items with different conditions and contents before user interaction. When a user meets specific conditions (e.g., becoming a friend with an official account or participating in an event), the corresponding pre-prepared set items are automatically activated, avoiding the need for complex real-time generation and reducing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple profile items are applied from set items, then profile customization is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveprofile customizationVSAvoidprocessing time

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple related profile items are merged into a single set item package. When a user selects a set item, all associated profile items (background images, stickers, text items, etc.) are applied together as a group, reducing the number of individual processing operations and minimizing processing time while maintaining comprehensive customization capability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If set items are removed and replaced with new items, then profile freshness is improved, but data loss may occur

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveprofile freshnessVSAvoidprofile data loss

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a selective replacement mechanism where only duplicate or incompatible profile items are removed when applying new set items, while unique or non-duplicate items are preserved. This ensures profile freshness through updates while recovering and maintaining valuable existing profile data that does not conflict with new items.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #34Discarding and recovering

AI summary

A method of displaying a profile view in an instant messaging service includes providing at least one set item applicable to the profile view for the personal account, applying a set item selected by the user from the set item to the profile view, providing an edit view for editing at least one profile item included in the set item applied to the profile view, and displaying a profile view edited through the edit view.
