Position-Tagged Feedback System for Social Posting Images
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing social network systems lack a mechanism to allow posters to designate specific areas within a posting for evaluations, leading to mismatched feedback between posters and viewers, resulting in unsatisfactory evaluation experiences for both parties.
Innovation Solution
A system that enables both posters and viewers to register additional information at designated positions on a posting image, allowing posters to specify desired evaluation areas and viewers to provide feedback at their chosen locations, thereby aligning evaluations with the poster's intentions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a general evaluation system like a 'like' button is used, then the posting mechanism is simple and easy to operate, but the poster cannot identify which specific part of the content is being evaluated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the evaluation system into two distinct components: evaluation value information (the like/dislike feedback) and position information (the specific location on the posting image). This segmentation allows the system to capture both the general evaluation sentiment and the specific area being evaluated, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and information completeness
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces position information as an intermediary element that connects the viewer's evaluation to the specific part of the posting image. This intermediary enables the system to bridge the gap between simple button-clicking and detailed feedback, allowing posters to understand exactly which areas of their content are being evaluated without complicating the user interface
2Loss of information
If annotation mechanisms are added to show evaluation positions, then the poster can identify evaluated parts, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the evaluation functionality with the existing posting image display by overlaying position information directly on the image. Instead of creating a separate annotation system, the evaluation positions are integrated into the image display itself, reducing system complexity while still providing detailed evaluation location information to the poster
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses the posting image itself as a visual copy or representation to display evaluation positions. By utilizing the existing image structure and overlaying position markers on it, the system avoids creating additional complex annotation layers while still effectively communicating where evaluations occurred on the content
3Adaptability or versatility
If viewers can only provide general feedback, then the feedback mechanism remains simple, but the alignment between poster's desired evaluation areas and actual evaluation areas cannot be improved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by allowing different types of information to be associated with different positions on the posting image. Each position can have its own evaluation value information, enabling the system to provide targeted, location-specific feedback that aligns with the poster's focus areas without requiring a uniformly complex mechanism across the entire system
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a spatial dimension to the feedback mechanism by incorporating position information coordinates. This transforms the feedback from a single-dimensional general evaluation into a two-dimensional system that maps evaluations to specific locations on the posting image, improving alignment between poster intentions and viewer feedback without significantly increasing operational complexity

AI summary
Provided is a system that enables additional information to be further posted in a state of being annexed to a posting image. The system includes: a posting-side annexed posting information registration unit that registers annexed posting information provided from a poster of the posting image in association with a position designated by the poster in the posting image; and a viewing-side annexed posting information registration unit that registers annexed posting information provided from a viewer of the posting image in association with a position designated by the viewer among the poster designation position and other positions. The poster can post annexed posting information by designating a position where the poster desires to get evaluation, and the viewer can post annexed posting information in association with the poster designation position, or can post the annexed posting information by designating a position where the viewer desires to perform evaluation or to make a comment.
