Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If users communicate through traditional virtual role interaction interfaces, then users can interact in the virtual environment, but communication efficiency between users is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication efficiencyVSAvoidtime for user operations
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the virtual role interaction interface with the instant messaging interface into a unified interface. This allows users to send messages, view contacts, and perform communication tasks directly within the virtual role environment without switching applications, thereby improving communication efficiency and reducing operation time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The unified interface serves multiple functions: it acts as both a virtual role interaction interface and an instant messaging interface. Users can perform various communication operations including sending messages, viewing contact lists, and accessing messaging features directly from the virtual role environment, eliminating the need for separate communication applications

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

2Ease of operation

If users switch between virtual role interaction application and instant messaging application, then communication can be performed, but user operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of communication operationVSAvoidinterface switching complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines two separate applications (virtual role interaction and instant messaging) into a single unified interface. This eliminates the need for users to switch between applications, reducing operational complexity while maintaining all necessary communication functions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The unified interface provides universal access to both virtual role interaction and instant messaging functions within a single application environment, making the system easier to operate by eliminating the need to navigate between multiple applications

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

AI summary

This application relates to a communication method based on a virtual role interaction interface, including: displaying a virtual role interaction interface of a virtual role interaction application, the virtual role interaction interface including a target virtual role identifier; displaying an instant session message triggering control on the virtual role interaction interface in response to a trigger operation on the target virtual role identifier; displaying a message input interface in response to a trigger operation on the instant session message triggering control; and transmitting, to an instant messaging user account corresponding to the target virtual role identifier after a session message is inputted in the message input interface, the session message used for displaying on an instant messaging application.
