Solution Overview

Problem

The inconsistency between the available regions of items and the publication regions of shared content leads to items being unavailable for sale in certain areas, causing resource waste and reduced user experience in cross-regional sharing scenarios.

Innovation Solution

An interaction method that establishes a binding relationship between a user and a same item of an item distribution center in a content distribution region, presenting an item link corresponding to that region, allowing users in different regions to see relevant item links.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If items are limited to specific available regions, then item availability control is improved, but cross-regional content sharing capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveitem availability controlVSAvoidcross-regional content sharing capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements local quality by associating different item links with different content distribution regions. When content is published, the system automatically presents the appropriate item link based on the viewer's location, ensuring that each region receives the locally appropriate item information while maintaining overall system consistency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the item linking system by region, creating region-specific item links that are selectively presented based on geographic location. This segmentation allows the same content to be associated with different item links in different regions, resolving the contradiction between regional control and cross-regional sharing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Device complexity

If a single item link is used across all regions, then system complexity is reduced, but user experience in specific regions deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveitem link management complexityVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service by automatically selecting and presenting the appropriate item link based on the viewer's geographic location. The system autonomously determines which region-specific item link to display without requiring manual intervention from content creators or viewers, thereby maintaining simplicity while improving user experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamics by making the item link presentation adaptive to the viewer's location. The system dynamically selects the appropriate item link based on real-time geographic information, transforming a static single-link system into a dynamic multi-link system that automatically adjusts to user needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If region-specific item links are implemented, then user experience in different regions is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoiditem link management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism (the content publishing system) that manages the complexity of region-specific item links. This intermediary automatically handles the association between content, regions, and appropriate item links, shielding users from the underlying complexity while delivering region-optimized experiences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Measurement precision

If items are restricted to creator's business location, then item availability accuracy is improved, but content distribution flexibility deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveitem availability accuracyVSAvoidcontent distribution flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by matching items with viewers based on their specific geographic locations rather than the creator's business location. This ensures that item availability information is locally accurate for each viewer while allowing the content to be distributed flexibly across multiple regions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to an interaction method, an interaction apparatus, an electronic device, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium, and relates to the technical field of Internet. The interaction method includes: recommending items to a user for content distribution by the user; for an item selected by the user, establishing a binding relationship between the user and a same item of an item distribution center of a content distribution region; and in response to the user publishing content by using the selected item, presenting, for the selected item, an item link corresponding to the content distribution region.
