Registry Content Feed Session Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing registry systems fail to provide a curated, personalized experience that delivers content in a time-based fashion specific to the user's registry and event timeline, lacking a dynamic and interactive way to engage users with their registry events.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that provides a content feed to users through a client application, grouping content items into sessions based on the user's registry event timeline, with sessions expiring and new ones being added, incorporating ecommerce, video, and social media content, and using a content management system to manage and publish content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a traditional wish list registry system is used, then the system is simple and easy to operate, but it fails to provide a curated, personalized experience and lacks dynamic content delivery
Solution Approach 1:
The content feed is segmented into multiple sessions, each containing a subset of content items. Sessions are iteratively provided to the user, with new sessions added to the top when previous ones expire. This segmentation allows the system to deliver personalized content in manageable portions while maintaining overall system simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts content delivery based on the user's registry event timeline. Sessions expire and are replaced with new content based on real-time events, creating a dynamic personalized experience without requiring complex manual configuration from users.
2Productivity
If content is delivered continuously without time-based structure, then the content feed is simple to manage, but it fails to engage users with time-sensitive registry events
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses periodic action by creating sessions with expiration times. Sessions are provided iteratively, with new sessions replacing expired ones. This periodic structure keeps users engaged with time-sensitive registry events while maintaining a relatively simple content delivery mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The content feed maintains continuous useful action by continuously providing new sessions as old ones expire. The iterative provision of sessions ensures that users always have relevant content available, maintaining engagement without requiring complex interruption or resumption mechanisms.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple content formats are integrated into the feed, then the variety and quality of content improves, but the complexity of content management increases
Solution Approach 1:
The content management system is designed with multi-functionality to handle various content formats (ecommerce items, video, social media posts) within a unified framework. This universality allows the system to manage diverse content types with a single consistent mechanism, reducing overall management complexity.

AI summary
The present invention provides a content feed to a user, where the content feed is related to a registry and a registry event having an event timeline. The system receives a request for a content feed for a user from a client application. A plurality of sessions of content items is provided iteratively to the client application for rendering the content items in a user interface where a new session is added to the feed history for the user when the previous session expires. For each session, content items related to the user’s registry or registry event are grouped into the session. The session is added to a feed history for the user, an expiration time is set for the session, and the feed history including the content items in the session and all previous sessions are provided to the user interface in the client application.
