Social Status Virtual Images for Interactive Relationship Signaling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing social networking messaging applications lack scenario interaction in social relationship presentation, leading to low utilization of graphic processing resources.
Innovation Solution
A social interaction method and apparatus that includes displaying a first virtual image corresponding to a target status and a social interaction control, transmitting social interaction invitation information, and replacing the first virtual image with a second image upon acceptance, indicating a established social relationship.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional social status display is used, then the presentation is simple and clear, but the interactivity and scenario interaction are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic virtual images that automatically switch between first virtual image (showing target status) and second virtual image (showing established social relationship) based on real-time interaction state. This dynamic transformation enhances interactivity without requiring complex manual configuration, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses virtual images as visual copies to represent social status and relationship states. The first virtual image copies the target status information, while the second virtual image copies the established social relationship, providing intuitive visual feedback that enhances interactivity without adding physical complexity
2Adaptability or versatility
If more interaction elements are added to social status presentation, then interactivity is enhanced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the virtual image serve multiple functions: displaying target status, indicating social relationship establishment, and providing visual feedback for interaction operations. This multi-functionality enhances social interaction capability without proportionally increasing application complexity, as the same visual element performs multiple roles
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements automatic feedback mechanisms where the virtual image transitions from first to second image in response to interaction operations, and automatically switches back when the social relationship ends. This automated feedback loop enhances interaction capability without requiring complex manual control systems
3Productivity
If virtual image replacement is implemented, then graphic processing resources are utilized more, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic virtual image replacement only when specific interaction events occur (when social relationship is established or ends), rather than continuous rendering. This event-driven periodic action improves graphic processing utilization by focusing computational resources on meaningful state transitions, thereby reducing overall energy consumption compared to continuous high-resolution rendering

AI summary
This application provides a social interaction method and apparatus, an electronic device, a computer-readable storage medium, and a computer program product. The method includes displaying a status presentation area of a target account; presenting a first virtual image corresponding to a target status and a social interaction control in the status presentation area in response to a social status of the target account being the target status; transmitting social interaction invitation information to a terminal corresponding to the target social account in response to a social invitation operation on a target social account triggered by the social interaction control; and replacing the first virtual image with a second virtual image corresponding to the target status when the target social account accepts the social interaction invitation operation, the second virtual image indicating that the social relationship is established between the target account and the target social account.
