Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies are cumbersome for users when creating or managing labels for multiple objects, requiring separate operations for each object, which increases the number of user interactions and reduces efficiency.

Innovation Solution

An information interaction method and apparatus that allows users to add or delete labels for multiple associated objects with a single operation, automatically generating or deleting corresponding relationships between labels and objects, thereby simplifying the process and improving efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users add or delete labels for multiple objects separately using existing technologies, then each object can be managed individually, but the number of user interactions increases and operation efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelabel management operationVSAvoidtime for label management
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple separate label management operations into a single unified operation. When a user adds or deletes a label for one object, the system automatically extends this operation to all associated objects, eliminating the need for repeated manual operations and significantly reducing time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The label management operation is designed to serve multiple objects simultaneously through association relationships. A single label operation on one object automatically applies to other associated objects, making the operation universal across multiple targets and improving ease of operation.

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

2Productivity

If users manually add labels to multiple objects one by one, then precise control over each labeling action is achieved, but the speed of adding labels decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeed of adding labelsVSAvoidoperation process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-establishes association relationships between objects before label operations are needed. When a user adds or deletes a label for one object, the system can immediately apply the same operation to all pre-identified associated objects without requiring additional user input or complex decision-making processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically extends label operations to associated objects without requiring user intervention. The system self-manages the propagation of label changes across the object network, significantly increasing the speed of adding labels while keeping the operation process simple for the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If separate label operations are performed for each object, then operational precision and user control are maintained, but user experience deteriorates due to repetitive interactions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction simplicityVSAvoidnumber of operations required
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple separate label management operations are merged into a single unified action. The system combines the label addition or deletion operation across all associated objects, reducing the number of operations required from multiple separate actions to just one user interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically handles the extension of label operations to associated objects without requiring user control or intervention for each individual operation. This self-service approach simplifies user interaction while the system manages the complexity of coordinating multiple objects in the background.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Embodiments of the present application disclose an information interaction method: when a user wishes to add tags to a plurality of associated objects, the user only needs to trigger a tag adding operation for one of the objects thereamong. Thus, the number of tag adding operations which the user needs to trigger is reduced, the speed of tag adding is increased, and user operations are simplified. The embodiments of the present application provide a task-based information processing method: a first user may view, on a first page, information of at least one task related thereto, without needing to separately open pages corresponding to each tag, and thus user operation is simple. The present application discloses a schedule creation method: after a user triggers a schedule adding operation in an associated page of a first tag, the first tag is automatically brought into a schedule adding page, and a schedule comprising the first tag may be generated. The user does not need to first create a schedule and then add a tag to the schedule, thereby reducing the tediousness of the operation of creating a schedule having a tag.
