Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional data display methods for online games often mix game information with other messages, leading to users missing important game data due to complexity, resulting in a poor display effect and disturbed user experience.

Innovation Solution

A data display method that obtains game data from a mobile terminal and displays it in a desktop plug-in, separate from other information, allowing for timely and accurate presentation of game events and their corresponding times, without requiring new components or applications, thus optimizing user experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If game information is mixed with other information messages for display, then the display method is simple and unified, but the user may easily miss important game information and the display effect is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay method simplicityVSAvoidgame information visibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the display system into two distinct parts: a notification area for general information messages and a game data display area for game-specific information. This segmentation allows game information to be displayed separately and prominently, preventing it from being lost among other notifications while maintaining a unified display approach through the use of a desktop plug-in component.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Loss of information

If game data is displayed separately from other messages, then the display effect and information accuracy are improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegame information accuracyVSAvoiddisplay system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a desktop plug-in component that serves multiple functions: it displays game data, maintains communication with the game application, and integrates with the existing notification system. This multi-functional approach allows separate game data display without significantly increasing system complexity, as the plug-in leverages existing system capabilities while adding specialized game display functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Device complexity

If conventional mixed message display is used, then the system requires fewer components, but the user experience is disturbed and important game data is missed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem component quantityVSAvoidgame data reception reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts game data display functionality from the general notification system and places it in a dedicated display area within the desktop plug-in. This extraction ensures that game data receives dedicated attention and is not lost among other notifications, improving reliability of game data reception while maintaining system simplicity through the use of an existing plug-in architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
