Multi-level Content Platform for Seamless App Eco-space
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile app platforms isolate data and content streams, requiring users to constantly activate and deactivate apps and re-install them upon device migration, leading to a poor user experience due to tedious and time-consuming operations.
Innovation Solution
A multi-level content platform with an interest-based personalized app eco-space that connects data and content streams, using a user interest engine to recommend and deploy apps and content channels based on user interests, allowing seamless app switching and unified content presentation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If apps are deployed as standalone software in traditional app stores, then each app can provide specific functions independently, but data and content streams become isolated and users must constantly activate and deactivate apps to switch between them
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple standalone apps into a unified application eco-space where different applications and their data streams are integrated. The eco-space presents a unified interface that combines functionality from multiple apps while maintaining their independence, allowing users to access different app functions without constant activation and deactivation.
Solution Approach 2:
The application eco-space serves as a universal platform that hosts multiple applications with different functions. This multi-functional ecosystem allows users to access diverse app capabilities through a single interface, eliminating the need to switch between separate app instances while preserving each app's specific functionality.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users migrate apps from one device to another, then users can continue using their apps on different devices, but they must re-download and re-install each app which is time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a virtualization mechanism where the application eco-space and its contained applications are copied or migrated as a unified package between devices. Instead of individually downloading and installing each app, the entire eco-space environment is transferred, preserving app states, data, and configurations, thereby significantly reducing migration time.
Solution Approach 2:
The system prepares the application eco-space for migration by pre-packaging applications, their data streams, and configuration information into a transferable format. This preliminary preparation ensures that when migration occurs, the process is streamlined and does not require time-consuming individual app installations on the target device.
3Ease of operation
If traditional app stores organize apps by categories for browsing, then users can find apps by category, but the presentation does not provide uniform look-and-feel across different apps
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the presentation into two layers: a unified eco-space interface layer that provides consistent look-and-feel, and underlying individual app layers that maintain their original functionality. The eco-space interface is segmented into standardized components (such as content channels, widgets, and navigation elements) that ensure uniformity while allowing access to diverse app contents through categorized organization.
Data Source
AI summary
The present teaching relates to a multi-level content platform. In one example, an interface corresponding to an application eco-space is presented to a user. The application eco-space comprises one or more applications. First information associated with the user is obtained via the interface. The first information characterizes interest of the user. At least one of the one or more applications is identified to be recommended to the user based on the first information. The at least one of the one or more applications is deployed within the application eco-space in a manner consistent with the interest of the user based on the first information.
