Staged Task Platform Display for Game Activity Centers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In multiplayer online role-playing games, the complexity of information and functions in activity centers distracts users, reducing the efficiency of human-computer interaction and making it difficult for users to quickly locate and complete tasks.
Innovation Solution
A task platform display method that initially shows a first task platform with fewer options and transitions to a second task platform with more options based on user permission adjustments, providing a staged experience that enhances user attention and interaction efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If an activity center integrates different activities with comprehensive information guidance and activity entrances, then the functionality and information completeness are improved, but the information complexity increases and user attention is distracted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the activity center interface into multiple hierarchical levels: a simplified entry interface showing only essential activity icons, and detailed sub-interfaces for each specific activity. This segmentation allows the system to provide comprehensive functionality while maintaining a clean, non-distracting main interface that focuses user attention on task selection rather than information overload.
2Adaptability or versatility
If an activity center provides comprehensive information guidance and multiple activity entrances, then the adaptability is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to distracted user attention
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts detailed activity information and guidance from the main interface and places it in separate, context-specific sub-interfaces. The main interface only displays essential activity icons and basic information, while comprehensive details are extracted and presented only when users select specific activities. This extraction principle improves ease of operation by reducing cognitive load and visual distraction while preserving full functionality through on-demand information access.
3Quantity of substance
If the task platform displays all task options at once, then the quantity of information is improved, but the productivity decreases due to reduced user focus
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by preparing and organizing all task information in advance, but only presenting the essential portion (simplified activity icons) on the main interface. Detailed task information is pre-loaded and ready for immediate display when users select specific activities, ensuring that comprehensive information is available when needed without overwhelming users at the decision point. This improves productivity by maintaining user focus while ensuring information availability.

AI summary
A task platform display method, performed by a terminal, includes: receiving a start operation for starting a task platform corresponding to a first account; displaying, based on the start operation and the first account corresponding to a first task permission, a first task platform including a first number of first task options; receiving a platform switching operation for switching the task platform from the first task platform to a second task platform including a second number of second task options, the first number being less than the second number; and displaying, based on the platform switching operation and the first account corresponding to a second task permission, the second task platform.
