Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electrical red packet technologies require cumbersome steps for users to share relevant information with third parties, such as taking screenshots and sending them, which is inefficient and does not meet the needs of users who want to share deeper emotional expressions and social interactions.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that acquire user browsing operations to determine associated accounts, search for relevant information about electrical red packets participated in by those accounts, and display this information on a target page, allowing direct sharing without the need for screenshots, enhancing user interaction and emotional expression.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If users take screenshots and send them to third parties to share electrical red packet information, then the information can be shared with third parties, but the operation steps become cumbersome and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation sharing capabilityVSAvoidoperation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the red packet information display function from the private messaging context and creates a separate public timeline page where red packet information can be viewed directly. This extraction eliminates the need for screenshot operations by providing native display capability on the timeline page, thus resolving the contradiction between information sharing and operation time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a timeline page as an intermediary between the red packet sending/receiving function and third-party viewing. This intermediate public page serves as a mediator that allows third parties to view red packet information directly without requiring the user to manually share screenshots through messaging applications, thereby reducing operation time while maintaining information sharing capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If users take screenshots to share electrical red packet information, then third parties can view the information, but the operation process becomes complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation sharingVSAvoidoperation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the information display function from the private red packet interface and places it on a public timeline page, allowing direct viewing without screenshot operations. This separation of display function improves ease of operation while maintaining information sharing capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The timeline page automatically displays red packet information in a public, viewable format without requiring user intervention to create screenshots. The system serves itself by providing native display functionality, eliminating the need for manual screenshot creation and sharing operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If the system only allows direct communication between two users for electrical red packets, then the sending process is simple, but the ability to inform third parties requires cumbersome operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesending process simplicityVSAvoidthird-party information sharing
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the red packet information display universal by creating a public timeline page that can be viewed by any user, not just the direct communication parties. This multi-functionality allows the same red packet interface to serve both private sending/receiving and public information display purposes, thereby improving adaptability without complicating the sending process

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds a new dimension of public visibility to the traditionally private red packet function. By creating a timeline page dimension that is accessible to third parties while maintaining the original direct communication channel, the system expands adaptability without affecting the simplicity of the core sending process

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

AI summary

A method for displaying relevant information of an electrical red packet includes: acquiring a browsing operation of a user on a target page; determining, in response to the browsing operation, at least one associated account of an account of the user; searching for relevant information of an electrical red packet that the at least one associated account participated in before a triggering time point of the browsing operation; and displaying the relevant information on the target page.
