Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems fail to interconnect and share user action information between online game services and community services, resulting in isolated management and lack of shared details between game and community user actions.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that map and store user action history across different services, allowing immediate transmission and interconnection of user actions between game and community services, enabling seamless sharing and integration of user experiences.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If user action information is managed separately in game and community services, then service independence is maintained, but information sharing and interconnection between services is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser action information sharingVSAvoidsystem integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary component (action information sharing module) that mediates between the game service and community service. This module receives user action information from one service, processes it, and transmits it to the other service, enabling information sharing without requiring deep integration between the services themselves.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system is divided into independent modules: the game service module, the community service module, and the action information sharing module. Each module operates independently while the sharing module acts as a bridge, allowing information exchange without compromising service independence or increasing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If user actions are transmitted immediately between services, then user engagement is enhanced, but system resource usage increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagement speedVSAvoidsystem resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing and caching user action information in the action information sharing module before transmission. This allows for faster retrieval and transmission when needed, enhancing user engagement while reducing the computational burden during actual transmission operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements selective transmission of user action information based on predefined criteria and thresholds. Not all user actions are transmitted immediately - only those that meet specific conditions (such as significant actions or actions from active users), thereby reducing overall system resource consumption while maintaining high user engagement for important interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

A computer-implemented method for sharing user activity information comprises: receiving a user action history generated in one service among a first service and a second service through an application executed in an electronic device; mapping and storing account information at the first service, account information at the second service, and the user action history with respect to a user of the electronic device; and transmitting, to the application, information on the user action history or an event corresponding to the user action history, such that the event corresponding to the user action history is provided to the user through another service among the first service and the second service.
