Automatic Recipient Matching in Mobile Messaging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for adding recipient information in mobile terminals require manual input or import from address books, failing to allow automatic addition based on message content.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that match message content with contact information in the address book to identify and add corresponding contact information to the recipient list, enabling automatic addition of recipient information based on the message content edited by the user.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If manual input or import from address book is used to add recipient information, then the recipient information can be added to the recipient list, but the user cannot automatically add recipient information based on message content
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically performs recipient information addition by itself without requiring user intervention. The mobile terminal extracts recipient information from the message content and automatically adds it to the recipient list, making the system serve itself rather than requiring manual user input.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical input process with an automated information processing system. Instead of requiring users to manually type or select recipient information, the system uses text recognition and data processing to automatically extract and add recipient information from the message content.
2Productivity
If manual input method is used to add recipient information, then the recipient list can be populated, but the process requires significant user time and effort
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs the recipient information extraction and addition process automatically before the user would need to manually input it. By pre-processing the message content to identify and add recipient information, the system eliminates the subsequent manual input step that would consume user time.
Solution Approach 2:
The system handles the entire recipient information addition process autonomously, extracting information from the message and populating the recipient list without requiring user time or effort for manual input, thereby significantly improving productivity while eliminating time loss.
3Extent of automation
If the system matches message content with contact information, then automatic recipient addition is achieved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile terminal utilizes its existing multi-functional capabilities, particularly its text processing and data matching functions, to perform recipient information extraction. By leveraging the device's universal information processing abilities rather than adding specialized hardware, the system achieves automation while minimizing increases in device complexity.
