Solution Overview

Problem

Users experience fragmented reading experiences due to the separation and isolation of content across different applications, limiting their ability to view multiple content sources on a single interface.

Innovation Solution

A display method and device that receive content viewing instructions, acquire data from multiple content providers, and display it in stitched segments on a single interface, allowing seamless switching and loading of content while enabling user login and personalized content aggregation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If content from multiple providers is displayed on separate interfaces, then each content provider maintains its own content assets and structure, but users experience fragmented reading experiences and cannot view multiple content sources on a single interface

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser reading experienceVSAvoidcontent display structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges content from multiple different content providers into a single unified information flow. The system integrates content data from different sources, processes it through a stitching engine, and presents it as a continuous seamless information stream on one interface, eliminating the need for users to switch between multiple applications or interfaces while maintaining content provider asset protection through virtualization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Productivity

If content from multiple providers is integrated into a single interface, then user reading experience is enhanced with unified content flow, but the complexity of managing and stitching content from multiple sources increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent aggregation efficiencyVSAvoidcontent stitching system
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a content stitching engine as an intermediary component that sits between multiple content providers and the user interface. This stitching engine receives content data from various providers, processes and stitches it into a unified information flow, and outputs it to the display interface. The intermediary handles the complexity of content integration, format standardization, and seamless stitching, while content providers maintain their original content structures and users experience a unified interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If content is displayed in segmented form from multiple providers, then content assets are protected and organized by source, but the reading experience remains fragmented

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent asset protectionVSAvoidreading continuity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates virtual copies of content from multiple providers within a unified information flow without moving or duplicating the actual content assets. The stitching engine generates virtual representations of content segments that are presented in a continuous stream, allowing content to be organized by source provider while maintaining reading continuity. Users experience seamless content flow while content providers retain ownership and control of their original content assets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to a display method, a display device, and a storage medium, which are used to solve the technical problem that contents of only one application can be displayed on a same interface in related technologies. The display method can include receiving a content viewing instruction, acquiring content data of a plurality of content providers in response to the content viewing instruction, and displaying the content data of the plurality of content providers on an interface in a form of stitched segments.
