Solution Overview

Problem

Existing television systems have fixed display durations for notifications, which do not adapt to user interest, leading to either too long or too short display times for notifications, affecting user experience.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that adjust notification display durations based on user operation instructions, lengthening display time for notifications the user is interested in and shortening for those they are not, using a processor to receive notification information, determine initial display duration, and adjust it according to user input, with constraints to prevent excessively long or short durations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If fixed preset display duration is used for notifications, then system complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but adaptability to user interest and notification importance is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidadaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The notification display duration is changed from a fixed preset value to a dynamic adjustable value. The system automatically adjusts the display duration based on user interactions (such as tapping or swiping), transforming the static notification system into a dynamic one that adapts to user behavior patterns and notification importance levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by monitoring user operations on notifications and using this feedback to adjust subsequent display durations. When users interact with certain types of notifications, the system learns from this behavior and modifies the display duration for similar notifications, creating a closed-loop adaptive system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Loss of information

If display duration is extended for important notifications, then information visibility is improved, but loss of time for less important notifications increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation visibilityVSAvoidloss of time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Different display durations are assigned to different notification types based on their importance and user interaction patterns. Instead of applying a uniform display duration to all notifications, the system implements localized duration settings for specific notification categories, ensuring that important notifications receive extended visibility while less important ones maintain shorter durations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes the display duration parameter based on notification characteristics and user behavior. By adjusting this temporal parameter adaptively, the system optimizes information visibility for important notifications while minimizing time loss for less critical ones, achieving a balance between information delivery efficiency and user time management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
