Social App Information Routing for Feed Clutter Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current information processing technologies face issues with inaccurate information positioning, leading to user interface clutter and resource wastage, as well as insufficient timeliness and attention for valuable information, resulting in users missing valuable content amidst vast feeds.
Innovation Solution
An information processing method that allows users to log into a terminal, pull a social group, and receive and display specified second multimedia information based on user interactions, conforming to a preset policy, ensuring accurate and timely delivery of relevant content within a uniform user interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If all users can share information widely, then information sharing coverage is improved, but user interface clutter and resource wastage increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments information into different types (user-generated content vs. system-pushed content) and applies different distribution strategies to each segment, allowing widespread sharing of user content while controlling system-pushed information to avoid clutter
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary mechanism (smart router) that mediates between information sources and users, intelligently filtering and routing information to reduce clutter while maintaining comprehensive coverage
2Productivity
If second multi-media information is shared to all users, then information dissemination is improved, but information timeliness and attention decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing and categorizing information before distribution, and by proactively pushing relevant information to users before they actively search for it, improving both dissemination efficiency and timeliness
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of information delivery from passive user-driven retrieval to active system-driven pushing, transforming the timing characteristic from delayed (user searches later) to immediate (system delivers now)
3Quantity of substance
If a large amount of second multi-media information is pushed, then information coverage is improved, but network resource bandwidth and system resources are wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies partial action by pushing only the necessary portion of information to each user based on their profile and preferences, rather than pushing all available information, thus achieving adequate coverage with reduced resource consumption
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of information push from uniform mass distribution to targeted selective distribution, optimizing the quantity of information transmitted to each user based on relevance metrics
Data Source
AI summary
An information processing method is performed at a terminal that is communicatively connected to a remote server. The method includes logging into a first user account of a social application and pulling, from the remote server, information associated with a social group, which includes the first user account and multiple user accounts that are direct contacts of the first user account including a second user account. First multi-media information is by the second user account and is selected. A third user account is not a direct contact of the first user account. Second multi-media information by the third user account is selected when it is interacted by the second user account and satisfies preset policies of the remote server. The first multi-media information and the second multi-media information are displayed in a same manner, together with the interaction information by the second user account on the second multi-media information.
