RSS Article Reader Priority-Based Relevance Filtering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional RSS readers face inefficiencies in information acquisition and knowledge management due to duplicate or similar articles, oversight of articles, and ineffective management and retrieval functions, particularly when dealing with large numbers of registered sites and limited user reading time.
Innovation Solution
An article reader program that calculates article relevance degrees, groups relevant articles into topics, and assigns priorities for efficient display and management, allowing users to subscribe to articles based on topics and enabling effective deletion of unnecessary topics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional RSS readers display articles sequentially from multiple registered sites, then the system can maintain simplicity in operation and interface, but duplicate or similar articles are displayed multiple times reducing knowledge acquisition efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter of article display from sequential ordering to priority-based ordering. Articles are assigned priority levels based on relevance calculation, and displayed according to these priorities rather than acquisition time or site registration order. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining simple operation while improving knowledge acquisition efficiency through intelligent filtering and prioritization of articles.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the number of registered sites in the RSS reader increases, then the system provides more diverse information sources, but the number of articles received exceeds user reading capacity and time availability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and prioritizes the most relevant articles from the large volume of articles received from multiple registered sites. By calculating article relevance and displaying only high-priority articles, the system allows users to efficiently access important information without being overwhelmed by the total number of articles, thus resolving the time loss contradiction.
3Quantity of substance
If conventional RSS readers store and manage large numbers of articles from multiple sites, then comprehensive information coverage is achieved, but management and retrieval functions become ineffective
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the management approach by introducing priority parameters based on article relevance. Instead of treating all articles equally, the system assigns different priority levels and manages articles according to these priorities. This makes retrieval and management more effective by allowing users to focus on high-priority articles without being burdened by the sheer quantity of stored articles.
4Reliability
If the RSS reader displays all received articles to ensure complete information coverage, then no article oversight occurs, but the display becomes inefficient and knowledge acquisition is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent resolves this contradiction by changing from uniform display to priority-based display. Articles are assigned priority levels based on relevance calculations, and the system displays articles in priority order. This ensures that high-priority articles are definitely read (maintaining reliability) while reducing the time spent on low-priority articles (improving productivity).
Data Source
AI summary
An article reader program of this invention comprises: detecting that a display of data concerning a first article is instructed by a user; calculating an article relevance degree between the first article and a second article; extracting the second article whose article relevance degree with the first article satisfies a predetermined condition in relation to the first article; assigning a top priority to the first article; assigning a priority lower than the top priority of the first article to the extracted second article; and displaying the data concerning the first article and data concerning the extracted second article according to the assigned priorities of the first article and the extracted second article.
