Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for entering and interacting with topic interfaces in applications are simplistic and lack depth, failing to enrich user engagement and interaction.

Innovation Solution

A display method and apparatus that adjusts the size range and display form of associated user identifiers and content items within a topic interface in response to user triggers, allowing for dynamic adjustment of displayed content and interaction options.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a preset interface displays topic elements and virtual characters in a fixed layout, then the interface structure is simple and stable, but the user interaction is limited and lacks customization

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interactionVSAvoidinterface structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adjustment of the associated area size and content display based on user trigger operations. The interface transitions from a static preset layout to a dynamic structure where the associated area can be expanded or contracted, and the number and form of displayed content items can be adjusted, thereby enhancing user interaction while maintaining a relatively simple base interface structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the display parameters of the interface by adjusting the size range of the associated area and the number of content items displayed in response to user operations. This allows the interface to adapt between different display states (e.g., showing more or fewer content items, changing the size of user identifier areas) without fundamentally altering the interface structure, thus improving versatility while controlling complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Loss of information

If the associated area displays all target content items, then the information completeness is high, but the interface becomes cluttered and hard to navigate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidinterface navigation
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent allows dynamic adjustment of the associated area size and the number of content items displayed. Users can trigger operations to expand the associated area to see more content or contract it to see less, enabling them to balance information completeness with ease of navigation based on their immediate needs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements selective display of content items based on user needs. Instead of always displaying all target content items, the system displays a manageable number of items by default and allows users to expand the display when needed, avoiding interface clutter while preserving access to complete information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Adaptability or versatility

If the interface provides multiple interaction options and customization features, then the user engagement is enhanced, but the operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction optionsVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a trigger operation mechanism that serves multiple functions: it can expand the associated area, adjust the number of content items displayed, and change the display form. This single multi-functional trigger operation provides diverse interaction options without requiring users to learn and operate multiple separate controls, thus enhancing user engagement while maintaining ease of operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a target content display method and apparatus, an interface display method and apparatus, a device, and a storage medium. The target content display method comprises: displaying a theme interface of a target theme, and displaying at least one associated user identifier of the target theme in the theme interface, wherein the associated user identifier comprises a target user identifier, at least part of an associated area of the target user identifier displays target content of a corresponding target user, and the target content comprises at least part of information content of target posted information corresponding to the target user and/or first interaction information of the target posted information; and in response to a first trigger operation acting in the theme interface, adjusting the size range of the associated area, and adjusting the quantity of target content displayed in the associated area and/or the display form of the target content.
