Swipe Speed Content Loading for Mobile Apps
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for obtaining content in applications, such as short video platforms, often result in low efficiency due to preloading content in a coarse-grained manner, leading to user wait times and unnecessary resource usage.
Innovation Solution
A method that detects the swiping speed and page parameters to determine the object positioned by the user's swipe, allowing for precise loading and display of detailed content without preloading all objects, thereby improving efficiency and reducing resource waste.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If content is preloaded in a coarse-grained manner, then content availability is improved, but resource usage efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments content loading into two levels: coarse-grained preloading of object metadata and thumbnails, and fine-grained on-demand loading of detailed content. This segmentation allows the system to maintain content availability through preloading while avoiding waste by only loading detailed content when users actually interact with objects, thus resolving the contradiction between reliability and resource efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by preloading only essential metadata and thumbnail images of objects, rather than complete content. This preliminary action ensures basic content availability for display and selection, while detailed content is loaded later only when needed, thereby improving resource usage efficiency without completely sacrificing content availability.
2Speed
If all objects are preloaded with detailed content, then user access speed is improved, but resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by loading only the necessary portion of content (metadata and thumbnails) in advance, rather than all content. Detailed content is loaded partially and selectively based on actual user interaction. This approach maintains acceptable access speed for browsing while dramatically reducing resource consumption compared to loading all content upfront.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses preliminary action to prepare only essential elements (object metadata, thumbnails, and positioning information) before user interaction. The detailed content loading is deferred to when users actually swipe to or click on objects, optimizing the balance between access speed and resource consumption.
3Loss of energy
If detailed content is loaded on-demand based on swipe detection, then resource efficiency is improved, but user wait time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by precalculating and storing the positions of all objects on the page in advance. When users swipe, the system can immediately determine which object is targeted based on precomputed position data and swipe trajectory, eliminating calculation delays. This preliminary preparation reduces user wait time while maintaining on-demand loading of detailed content for resource efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback by continuously monitoring user swipe actions and immediately responding by loading detailed content for the detected target object. The system provides real-time feedback to users through smooth content transitions and immediate display of detailed information, minimizing perceived wait time while maintaining resource-efficient on-demand loading.
Data Source
AI summary
The disclosure relates to a method and an apparatus for obtaining content, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. In response to detecting an end of a swiping on a page, the electronic device obtains a swiping speed of the swiping. The electronic device determines an object positioned by the swiping in the page based on the swiping speed and page parameters of the page, and obtains and displays content of the object.
