Solution Overview

Problem

Existing content posting methods in applications are limited when users attempt to post multiple resources such as images or videos, lacking flexibility and user controllability.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that allows users to select multiple resources, offering a preset interface with controls to post these resources as either individual or aggregated content, enhancing user controllability through separate or combined posting options.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple resources are posted using existing methods, then the posting function is available, but the user controllability and flexibility are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveposting flexibilityVSAvoiduser controllability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the posting operation into two distinct modes: individual posting control and aggregated posting control. Users can choose to post multiple resources individually with separate controls or as a single aggregated post, dividing the monolithic posting function into flexible, selectable segments that enhance user controllability while maintaining operational simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If multiple resources are posted as individual content, then user controllability is improved, but the complexity of the posting interface increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser controllabilityVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic interface that adapts its complexity based on user selection. The system provides a simple aggregated posting option for basic needs, and only when users require finer control does the interface dynamically reveal individual posting controls. This dynamic adaptation allows the interface to maintain simplicity while providing enhanced controllability when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If a preset interface with multiple posting options is provided, then posting flexibility is enhanced, but the interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveposting flexibilityVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple posting functions into a single unified preset interface that offers both individual and aggregated posting capabilities. Instead of creating separate interfaces for different posting modes, the system combines these functions into one interface that adapts its behavior based on user interaction, thereby enhancing flexibility without proportionally increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

Provided are a content post method and apparatus, an information display method and apparatus, an electronic device and a medium. The method includes determining whether at least two target resources are selected, where the at least two target resources comprises at least one of an image or a video; and displaying a preset interface in response to determining that the at least two target resources are selected, where the preset interface includes a first post control and a second post control both configured to post a target content, the second post control is configured to post one second type of target content comprising the at least two target resources, and the second type of target content is a resource set formed by aggregation of the at least two target resources.
