Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for grouping mobile Instant Messaging (IM) contacts based on location attributes are inefficient and lack accuracy, requiring manual adjustments due to uncertain region attributes.
Innovation Solution
An automatic grouping system utilizing a positioning module and geographic information system to determine the location of mobile terminals and group IM contacts accordingly, eliminating the need for manual operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual grouping mode is used to group mobile IM contacts according to region attributes, then users can organize contacts into groups, but the accuracy of grouping result deteriorates due to uncertain region attributes and the efficiency deteriorates due to manual operations required
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic grouping of mobile IM contacts by having the system itself perform the grouping operation based on location information from positioning modules, eliminating the need for manual user intervention. The automatic grouping module continuously monitors location changes and automatically regroups contacts, making the system self-sufficient in maintaining accurate contact groups without requiring user actions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical grouping operation with an automated electronic system. The automatic grouping module uses positioning module data and location information to automatically determine and execute grouping operations, substituting manual user actions with an automated computational process that continuously updates contact groups based on real-time location data.
2Reliability
If manual grouping is performed when region attributes change, then contact groups can be adjusted, but the efficiency deteriorates due to continuous manual adjustment requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements continuous automatic monitoring and grouping updates. The automatic grouping module continuously receives location information from positioning modules and automatically adjusts contact groups in real-time as location changes occur, eliminating interruptions and ensuring continuous accurate grouping without manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback loop where the automatic grouping module continuously monitors location information from positioning modules, detects changes in region attributes, and automatically triggers regrouping operations. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures that grouping results remain accurate by continuously comparing current location data with existing group assignments and making necessary adjustments.
