Participant Tagging in Message Display Systems
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current social networking platforms lack the ability to effectively tag participants in messages, which limits user interaction and the richness of message content, failing to meet social networking requirements.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for displaying messages that allow users to tag participants, enabling the selection of candidate user accounts as participants during message editing, and displaying participant tags in posted messages, enhancing interaction and information richness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If participant tagging function is added to messages, then message content richness and user interaction quality are improved, but system complexity and implementation difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The participant tagging system is segmented into distinct functional modules: candidate user account selection module, participant tag generation module, and tag display module. This segmentation allows the complex tagging system to be implemented as manageable, independent components that can be developed and maintained separately, reducing overall system complexity while enabling rich message content through participant tags.
2Ease of operation
If participant tagging is implemented during message editing, then user interaction quality is improved, but operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Candidate user accounts are pre-selected and prepared before the message is finalized. The system proactively identifies and presents relevant user accounts that could be tagged as participants, allowing users to simply select from the pre-prepared candidates rather than manually searching for users. This preliminary action simplifies the user operation while maintaining high interaction quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The participant tag serves as an intermediary element between the message content and the user accounts. Instead of directly linking users to messages through complex relationships, the patent introduces participant tags as intermediate objects that represent user participation. This intermediary approach simplifies the interaction model while enabling rich social networking functionality.

AI summary
A message display method and apparatus that can display a first message in an editing state; determine, in response to a selection operation on a candidate user account, a user account selected from the candidate user account as a participant user account of the first message; and display, after editing of the first message is completed, the first message including a first participant tag, the first participant tag being in a posted state, and the first participant tag being used for indicating that an object corresponding to the participant user account is a participant of message content of the first message.
