Solution Overview

Problem

Users of microblog platforms face inefficiencies in information sharing due to the overwhelming amount of data from multiple friends, making it time-consuming to find important information amidst a large volume of posts, which can lead to missed critical updates.

Innovation Solution

A method that grades microblog information based on importance and limits the quantity sent by the user per unit time, allowing users to prioritize and categorize information, enabling efficient retrieval of important updates by grouping and sequencing posts according to priority and post time.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If all information from followed friends is displayed in time sequence, then complete information coverage is achieved, but information retrieval efficiency deteriorates due to overwhelming volume

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation coverageVSAvoidinformation retrieval time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the information stream by introducing grade labels (first grade, second grade, etc.) to categorize different types of microblog information. This segmentation allows users to divide the overwhelming information volume into manageable graded sections, improving retrieval efficiency while maintaining complete coverage through systematic organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of information organization by introducing a grading system with multiple levels. Instead of single-dimensional time sequence ordering, information is reorganized using grade levels as a new parameter, enabling users to efficiently locate important information while preserving all original content through the graded structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If information quantity is limited per unit time, then reading efficiency is improved, but information completeness may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation processing efficiencyVSAvoidinformation completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-labeling and grading information before it reaches the user. The grading system is established in advance, allowing users to quickly identify and access important information without manually filtering through all content, thus maintaining efficiency while ensuring completeness through the pre-organized graded structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces grade labels as an intermediary element between the information source and the user. These labels act as a mediating mechanism that organizes information by importance level, enabling efficient retrieval of critical content while preserving access to the complete information set through the graded classification system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If intelligent sharing or grouping methods are used, then information organization is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation organizationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by implementing a simple grade labeling system that adds minimal structural complexity while significantly improving information organization. Instead of complex intelligent algorithms, the system uses localized grade tags (first grade, second grade) to categorize information, achieving ease of operation with controlled system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

Disclosed is a method for sharing microblog information. The method includes the following steps: step S10: editing information, and setting grades for the information according to the importance degree of the information; step S11: sending the information for which the grades are set to a server for being shared on the internet; and step S12: obtaining, by an information receiving end, the information at the corresponding grades according to a requirement of a user for the information grades. In the method for sharing microblog information, by setting grades for the information and limiting quantity of the information that is sent by the user in unit time and is at different grades, the user can read all information shared by friends and can read important information that is sent in unit time and includes a limited quantity of information, thereby improving the efficiency of sharing the microblog information.
