Profile-Based Content Creator Carousels for Faster Discovery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing social media platforms lack effective methods for users to discover and follow content creators whose content aligns with their interests, leading to a suboptimal user experience in discovering and engaging with relevant content.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for presenting information about content creators on a user interface, allowing users to select a first subset of users based on profile information and view additional similar users in a second carousel, facilitating easy discovery and following of users with similar content and profile characteristics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If users browse through all content creators manually, then they can find creators matching their interests, but the time required and effort involved becomes excessive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments content creators into different categories or groups based on their profile information, content type, and user interests. This allows the system to present creators in organized sections rather than requiring users to manually browse through all creators, thereby reducing time while maintaining relevance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary system that automatically matches users with content creators based on profile information and user preferences. This intermediary matching mechanism eliminates the need for manual browsing by automatically filtering and presenting relevant creators, thus saving time while ensuring relevance.
2Reliability
If the system presents detailed profile information for each content creator, then users can make informed decisions about who to follow, but the interface complexity and information overload increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent presents only the most relevant and essential profile information for content creators rather than all available details. This partial presentation approach provides sufficient information for users to make informed decisions while avoiding information overload and interface complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different levels of detail to different parts of the user interface. Important matching criteria are highlighted with greater prominence, while less critical information is presented in a more condensed format, creating a differentiated information hierarchy that maintains reliability without overwhelming the user.
3Productivity
If the system automatically recommends content creators, then discovery speed increases, but the ability for users to customize their experience decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic recommendation system that automatically adapts to user interactions and preferences in real-time. The system learns from user behavior patterns and adjusts recommendations accordingly, maintaining high discovery speed while enabling continuous customization without requiring manual input from users.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically analyzing user preferences and generating personalized recommendations without requiring explicit user configuration. Users benefit from customized experiences through automatic learning and adaptation, maintaining both speed and versatility simultaneously.

AI summary
The present disclosure describes techniques for presenting information associated with users. The techniques comprise displaying information about one of a first subset of users in a first area of a user interface; displaying information about a plurality of users among a second subset of users in a second area of the user interface while displaying the information about the one of the first subset of users in the first area of the user interface; and in response to switching to displaying information about one other of the first subset of users in the first area of the user interface, concurrently switching to displaying information about users among a third subset of users in the second area of the user interface.
