Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Current interactive applications disrupt user experience by requiring users to frequently exit and re-enter the application to obtain virtual resources like props or plug-ins, leading to reduced smoothness and convenience.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that create a list of virtual resources with varying recommendation priorities based on matching degrees with the currently operated virtual object, allowing for seamless integration and display of suitable resources directly within the application interface, eliminating the need for users to manually search and obtain resources.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users frequently open equipment interface to obtain virtual resources, then users can obtain needed virtual resources, but user experience smoothness deteriorates due to frequent interruptions

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvevirtual resource obtainabilityVSAvoiduser experience smoothness

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by proactively recommending virtual resources before users actually need them. The recommendation module analyzes user behavior data and game state to predict future resource needs, presenting options in advance so users don't need to interrupt their gameplay to search for resources later.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically analyzing user needs and generating resource recommendations without requiring users to manually search equipment interfaces. The recommendation system serves itself by using game state data and user behavior patterns to autonomously identify and present relevant virtual resources.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If users manually search and obtain virtual resources through equipment interface, then users can acquire specific virtual resources, but operation convenience deteriorates due to complex manual operations

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvevirtual resource acquisition capabilityVSAvoidoperation convenience

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring user behavior data, game state, and resource usage patterns. This feedback loop enables the recommendation module to dynamically adjust and optimize resource suggestions, presenting the most relevant virtual resources based on real-time analysis of user needs and game context.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The recommendation module acts as an intermediary between the complex equipment interface system and the user. It translates user needs and game state into curated resource suggestions, shielding users from the complexity of manual interface navigation while still providing access to the full virtual resource ecosystem.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If basic application interface or user state fails, then users can obtain new virtual resources through equipment interface, but application smoothness deteriorates due to interface failures requiring manual intervention

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvevirtual resource obtainabilityVSAvoidapplication interface reliability

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

By performing preliminary analysis of user needs and game state, the system proactively prepares resource recommendations before interface failures occur. This preliminary action ensures that resource suggestions are ready and available even when the basic application interface experiences issues, maintaining operational continuity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The recommendation system provides beforehand cushioning by having virtual resource suggestions pre-prepared and available based on predicted user needs. This cushioning effect buffers against interface failures, ensuring that users can still access recommended resources even when the basic application interface or user state encounters problems.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

AI summary

A method for obtaining a virtual resource of a virtual object is described. Circuitry of an apparatus identifies the virtual object that is currently operated in a virtual domain accessed by executing a target application, where the target application is installed on a user device. The circuitry determines a resource assisting manner of the virtual object, and determines, according to the determined resource assisting manner, at least one virtual resource that meets an assisting condition. The circuitry further displays an icon corresponding to the resource assisting manner and an icon corresponding to the at least one virtual resource that meets the assisting condition on an application interface of the user device, where the at least one virtual resource that meets the assisting condition is obtainable by the virtual object through the application interface.
