Multilevel Information Display With Quantity-Based Comment Layout
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing multimedia applications display multiple levels of information in a fixed mode, leading to inefficient information browsing due to the need for multiple user operations to unfold second-level comments, affecting user interaction and enthusiasm.
Innovation Solution
A display method and apparatus that determine a display mode for second-level information based on its feature attributes, such as the number or size of information pieces, to dynamically adjust the display mode to tiling or folding, enhancing information display efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a fixed display mode is used for multiple levels of information, then the display structure is simple, but the information browsing efficiency is low and requires multiple user operations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from a fixed display mode to a dynamic display mode that automatically adjusts based on the quantity of second-level information. The system detects whether the number of second-level comments exceeds a threshold and switches between folding and tiling modes accordingly, making the display behavior adaptive and responsive to data characteristics.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the display parameter (mode) based on the quantity parameter (number of second-level information items). When the number of second-level comments is below the threshold, folding mode is used; when above the threshold, tiling mode is used. This parameter change resolves the contradiction by optimizing display efficiency based on actual data volume.
2Ease of operation
If second-level information is displayed in folding mode, then the display structure is compact, but multiple user operations are needed to unfold the information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by automatically unfolding and displaying second-level information when the quantity threshold is met, rather than requiring users to manually unfold folded comments. The system proactively expands the information display in advance, eliminating the need for subsequent user operations to access the information.
Solution Approach 2:
The display system performs self-service by automatically detecting the quantity of second-level information and autonomously deciding whether to use folding or tiling mode. When the threshold is exceeded, the system automatically switches to tiling mode to display all information without requiring user intervention, making the system serve itself rather than requiring active user participation.
3Productivity
If all second-level information is displayed using the same mode, then the display logic is simple, but the information display efficiency varies with different data quantities
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by treating different quantities of second-level information differently. Instead of using a uniform display mode for all cases, the system applies folding mode for small datasets (below threshold) and tiling mode for large datasets (above threshold). This localized differentiation optimizes display efficiency for each specific data quantity scenario.
Solution Approach 2:
The display logic becomes dynamic rather than static, automatically adapting the display mode based on real-time detection of second-level information quantity. The system monitors the data volume and switches between folding and tiling modes as needed, creating a flexible display logic that responds to changing data characteristics.
