Terminal Hotspot Range for Valid Click Probability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The small screen interface of terminal devices leads to a low valid click probability for recommended information, resulting in inefficient display and unnecessary page exits due to incorrect clicks, complicating maintenance and improvement processes.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that analyze previous click information to determine a hotspot range with a higher valid click probability, allowing for valid click operations to trigger the display of recommended pages, thereby improving the efficiency of displaying recommended information and reducing unnecessary page returns.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the display screen area is small, then the terminal device is portable and easy to operate, but the valid click probability of recommended information decreases due to larger finger size relative to the screen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by creating a hotspot range with enhanced click response properties around the recommended information area. This localized zone has different interaction characteristics than the rest of the screen, providing a larger effective target area for user clicks while maintaining the overall small screen design for portability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a virtual dimension by creating an expanded hotspot range that extends beyond the physical boundaries of the recommended information display area. This virtual expansion allows the clickable area to exceed the physical screen constraints without increasing the actual device size.
2Quantity of substance
If the recommended information display area is small, then more content can be displayed on the screen, but the valid click probability decreases making it difficult for users to accidentally or intentionally click the correct area
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual expansion of the clickable area by defining a hotspot range that extends beyond the physical display boundaries of the recommended information. This allows the effective interaction area to be larger than the visual display area, maintaining high content density while improving click reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The hotspot range acts as an intermediary layer between the user's finger and the recommended information display area. This intermediate zone captures click events that occur within the expanded range and redirects them to the intended recommended page, bridging the gap between limited screen space and reliable interaction.
3Productivity
If incorrect clicks frequently occur due to small screen size, then user interaction becomes inefficient, but implementing complex exit operations to handle incorrect clicks increases system complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary action by pre-defining the hotspot range and its associated click handling logic before user interaction occurs. The system is pre-configured with the expanded interaction zone and automatic redirect rules, so that when a click occurs within the hotspot range, the system can immediately and automatically navigate to the recommended page without requiring complex real-time analysis or user confirmation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides self-service by automatically detecting clicks within the hotspot range and autonomously navigating to the recommended page without requiring user intervention to correct incorrect clicks. The hotspot mechanism self-manages the interaction efficiency problem by providing automatic error correction for misplaced clicks.
Data Source
AI summary
Displaying a recommended page by a terminal device may include page presenting recommended information being displayed. Click information of a click operation is captured, which is performed by a user on a display area of the recommended information via a display screen. The page includes a calculated hotspot range. The hotspot range is a range determined after analyzing previous click information and valid information, where a valid click probability is greater than a probability set value. Whether the click operation is valid may be determined based on the click information and the hotspot range. When determining that the click operation is valid, a request for obtaining the recommended page corresponding to the recommended information may be transmitted to a server.
