Solution Overview

Problem

Users face difficulties in efficiently querying and accessing information due to the dispersal of various content sources across different websites and applications, leading to a cumbersome and time-consuming process, especially when multiple sources are involved.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for an information display system that integrates content information from multiple sources by converting unstructured data to a structured format, classifying it, and displaying it in a user-friendly manner, allowing users to access information more intuitively.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users access information from multiple content sources through separate websites or applications, then users can obtain comprehensive information from various sources, but the query process becomes cumbersome and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess to multiple content sourcesVSAvoidquery time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple content sources from different websites and applications into a single unified information display interface. The terminal integrates content from various sources (e-commerce, travel, entertainment, etc.) and presents them together in one location, eliminating the need for users to switch between multiple applications or websites, thus reducing query time while maintaining access to diverse content sources

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Loss of information

If users manually navigate through multiple content sources to find specific information, then users can access detailed content from each source, but the operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidinformation retrieval ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary integration module that acts as a mediator between multiple content sources and the user. This module automatically collects, processes, and organizes information from various sources, then presents it in a unified, easy-to-navigate interface. Users can search and access information from multiple sources through a single simplified entry point, maintaining information completeness while dramatically improving ease of operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Quantity of substance

If content information is displayed in unstructured format from multiple sources, then all content can be shown, but the display complexity and difficulty of finding specific information increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent volumeVSAvoiddisplay structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the displayed content into structured categories such as news, entertainment, shopping, and travel. Each content source is organized according to its type and relevance, with information divided into manageable sections. This segmentation allows the system to handle large volumes of content from multiple sources while maintaining a clear, organized display structure that reduces complexity and makes specific information easier to locate

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

An information display method, terminal, and server, where the method includes obtaining, by a terminal, content information of at least one content source, where the at least one content source corresponds to at least two pieces of account information stored in the terminal, integrating, by the terminal, the content information into content display information, and displaying, by the terminal, the content display information. Content information of a content source is obtained, integrated, and then displayed to a user by classification, so that it is concise and intuitive for the user to query information without cumbersomeness.
