Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional microblog wall display techniques update webpages at intervals, causing old messages to be replaced quickly, resulting in short display durations and incomplete message visibility, especially when many new messages are received in a short time.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for displaying microblog messages that allow for controlled display durations, involving obtaining messages, setting display intervals, and sorting them based on time and display style, enabling longer visibility of messages through sticky or preempted display modes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If webpage is updated at a certain time interval, then real-time interaction is achieved, but old messages are replaced quickly resulting in short display duration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveupdate speedVSAvoiddisplay duration
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic display duration control where each message can have a independently set display duration. The system transitions from a static, uniform update interval to a dynamic system where messages remain displayed for their specified duration even as new messages arrive, resolving the contradiction between fast updates and sufficient display time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of display duration from a fixed time interval to a configurable parameter for each message. By allowing the display duration to be a variable parameter rather than a constant, the system can accommodate both fast update rates and sufficient visibility time for each message.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If many new messages are received in a short time, then real-time information delivery is improved, but message chaos occurs and old messages cannot be completely shown

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage processing speedVSAvoidmessage visibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-setting the display duration for each message before it is displayed. This allows the system to prepare a structured display plan in advance, ensuring that even when many messages arrive quickly, each message is allocated its predetermined display time without causing chaos or information loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a message queue or buffer as an intermediary between message reception and display. This intermediary structure organizes incoming messages and manages their display timing, preventing message chaos while maintaining high processing speed and ensuring complete visibility of all messages.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
