Solution Overview

Problem

Users face challenges in timely digestion and selection of information on social platforms due to passive interactions, where relevant information is often drowned by a vast amount of useless data, leading to inefficient information transmission.

Innovation Solution

An information processing method and apparatus that identifies and sends relevant shared information between user equipment based on shared identification information, allowing for targeted display and notification, thereby enhancing user experience by filtering out irrelevant content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If users publish information on social platforms, then information sharing is enabled, but relevant information is drowned by useless data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation volumeVSAvoidinformation quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and highlights shared information from the sea of ordinary information by detecting when multiple users share the same content. The system identifies this extracted information and presents it with special visual markers (such as multiple user icons) to distinguish it from regular posts, thereby separating valuable shared information from useless data without reducing overall information volume

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism that monitors and analyzes information sharing patterns across the network. This intermediary system detects when multiple users share identical or similar content and automatically tags such information, acting as a mediator between users and the information they consume, thereby filtering out noise without requiring users to manually screen content

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If users actively screen information, then information quality improves, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation qualityVSAvoidscreening time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by automatically detecting and tagging shared information before users encounter it. The system proactively identifies content that has been shared by multiple users and marks it with visual indicators (such as multiple user avatars or special icons), so when users browse the feed, the valuable shared information is already highlighted and ready for quick identification, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual screening

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements self-service by enabling the information stream to automatically annotate itself with shared information markers. The system monitors sharing patterns and automatically tags content that appears in multiple user feeds, allowing the information ecosystem to self-organize and highlight valuable content without requiring user intervention or active screening behavior

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If passive interaction is used, then user engagement is simple, but information transmission efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction simplicityVSAvoidinformation transmission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary system that automatically analyzes sharing patterns and identifies when multiple users share the same content. This intermediary mechanism bridges the gap between simple passive interaction and efficient information transmission by detecting shared information and presenting it with special markers, thereby maintaining interaction simplicity while dramatically improving information transmission efficiency through automated detection and highlighting

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
