Solution Overview

Problem

Existing large-screen electronic devices, such as televisions, face challenges in enabling users to browse media content efficiently and interactively due to passive browsing experiences.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that allows for interface interaction through a controller to navigate profile pages with tabs, displaying content items based on user instructions, optimizing layout and improving content organization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If users browse media content on large-screen electronic devices, then content display capability is improved, but user interaction efficiency deteriorates due to passive browsing experience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay screen areaVSAvoiduser interaction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The interface is segmented into multiple functional tabs (personalized recommendation tab, media content tab, live broadcast tab, short video tab) within the profile page. This segmentation allows users to access different types of content through organized categories, making the large-screen interface more manageable and interactive despite the passive browsing nature of large screens

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a tab-based navigation dimension overlaid on the profile page. Instead of relying solely on linear scrolling or menu navigation, users can switch between different content dimensions (recommendations, media, live broadcasts, short videos) through tab switching, adding a new layer of interaction suitable for large-screen devices

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Loss of information

If profile page includes multiple tabs for content organization, then content categorization is improved, but interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent organizationVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The tab mechanism serves multiple functions simultaneously: it organizes content by category, provides navigation between different content types, and maintains a consistent interface structure across different profile pages. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate navigation mechanisms for each content type, simplifying the overall interface despite the presence of multiple tabs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The tab interface is designed to be dynamically switchable, allowing users to easily transition between different content categories. The active tab is clearly indicated, and the content area dynamically updates based on the selected tab, providing a responsive and adaptable interface that manages complexity through dynamic behavior rather than static structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A method, a device and a storage medium for interface interaction. In the method, an access request associated with a target application installed on a display device is received via a controller associated with a display device, and a first profile page of a first user is displayed in the display device in response to the access request. The first profile page includes a first area, and the first area includes a plurality of tabs. In the method, based on the first instruction received via the controller, an indicator is moved among the plurality of tabs to determine a target tab, and at least one content item corresponding to the target tab is displayed in a second area of the first profile page.
