Topic-Based UI Layout for Reduced Content Navigation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing user interfaces, such as webpages and applications, often require users to scroll or navigate extensively to access related content scattered across the page, leading to visual and navigational complexity and a degraded browsing experience due to the inability to display related sub-topical content simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that identifies segments of content on a user interface, recognizes topics within these segments, determines a current user interest, and generates a modified view with portions related to the current topic of interest displayed within a predefined threshold distance, utilizing a personalized learning model to enhance user experience.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If content is organized in traditional linear layout, then all content can be displayed, but users must scroll extensively to access related content scattered across the page
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from traditional linear vertical layout to a spatial multi-dimensional layout where related content segments are positioned close to each other on the screen. This allows users to view multiple related sub-topics simultaneously without extensive scrolling, effectively adding a spatial dimension to content organization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent divides the webpage content into multiple segments based on sub-topics (e.g., camera, battery, display). By identifying and segmenting related content, the system can reposition these segments spatially close to each other, allowing parallel viewing of related information without requiring users to scroll through the entire page.
2Area of stationary object
If all content is displayed in a single viewport, then complete information is available, but the viewport area is insufficient to show all content simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes the available screen area more efficiently by arranging content segments in a spatial layout that maximizes the use of horizontal and vertical space. Related segments are positioned within the visible viewport area, allowing multiple sub-topics to be viewed simultaneously without requiring additional screen real estate.
3Ease of operation
If content segments are repositioned based on user interaction, then related content is displayed closer together, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically monitors user interactions (scrolling, clicking, hovering) and dynamically repositions content segments based on detected user interest patterns. This self-adjusting mechanism eliminates the need for manual user intervention to reorganize content, while the automated nature of the process manages system complexity through algorithmic decision-making.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback loop where user interactions are continuously monitored and fed back to the content positioning system. Based on this feedback, the system adjusts the spatial arrangement of content segments in real-time, ensuring that frequently accessed or related content is positioned closer to each other, thereby improving accessibility while managing complexity through adaptive algorithms.

AI summary
A method for improving user experience for accessing content on a user interface (UI) of an electronic device is provided. The method includes identifying a plurality of segments associated with content being accessed by the user on the UI of the electronic device in real-time, recognizing one or more topics of the content in each of the plurality of segments, determining a current topic of interest from the one or more topics of the content by monitoring a user interaction with at least two segments from the plurality of segments, and generating a modified view of the UI with the at least two segments, from the plurality of segments, comprising a plurality of portions associated with the current topic of interest.
