Solution Overview

Problem

Existing network platforms fail to meet user requirements in presenting interaction messages effectively.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for presenting a viewing interface that includes an interaction component showing identification information and content based on a target user's selection of a target interaction item, allowing users to interact and switch content efficiently.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If interaction messages are presented in existing network platforms, then users can view and send messages, but the presentation method cannot meet user requirements for efficiency and amusement

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction efficiencyVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The interaction component is segmented into distinct functional areas: a first area displaying the target user's identification information (avatar, name) and a second area displaying content related to the target interaction item. This segmentation allows users to quickly locate and interact with different elements without overwhelming interface complexity, thereby improving interaction efficiency while maintaining manageable interface structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a spatial dimension to interaction by positioning the interaction component within an information stream interface at a specific location. The component integrates multiple information layers (user identification, interaction content, action buttons) in a vertically stacked layout that leverages the screen's vertical space, enabling rich interaction capabilities without increasing horizontal interface complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple interaction items are presented, then users have more interaction options, but it becomes harder to present relevant content efficiently

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction optionsVSAvoidcontent relevance
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The interaction component applies local quality by customizing the display content based on the specific target interaction item selected. The second area dynamically presents content specifically related to that item (such as item details, comments, or related media), ensuring that each interaction context receives tailored, relevant information rather than generic content, thus maintaining content relevance while supporting multiple interaction options.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by presenting content in the second area that responds to the user's selection of a target interaction item. When a user selects an item, the component immediately updates to display relevant content and appropriate interaction options, providing real-time feedback that reinforces the connection between selection and outcome, thereby maintaining information relevance across multiple interaction scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Embodiments of the disclosure relate to an interface interaction method, apparatus, device and storage medium. A method includes: presenting a viewing interface of an information stream associated with a current user; and based on a selection of a target user for a target interaction item associated with the current user, presenting an interaction component in the viewing interface, the interaction component presenting identification information of the target user and first content generated based on the target interaction item. In this way, the embodiments of the disclosure are capable of presenting an interaction message in the interface of the information stream.
