Solution Overview

Problem

Users face inconvenience in managing multiple invitation links for joining various communities, as existing technologies require separate procedures for each community, leading to excessive resource consumption and user inconvenience.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for generating a bundle invitation link that allows users to access multiple community invitation links through a single link, enabling efficient selection and joining of multiple communities with reduced resource usage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If separate invitation links are generated for each community, then each community can be accessed individually, but the number of invitation links increases and becomes difficult to manage

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecommunity access capabilityVSAvoidinvitation link management complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple separate invitation links for different communities are merged into a single bundle invitation link. This bundle link contains embedded information about multiple communities, allowing users to access multiple communities through one link rather than managing multiple separate links, thereby reducing management complexity while maintaining access capability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The bundle invitation link is designed to serve multiple functions simultaneously - it acts as an invitation link for multiple different communities at once. This multi-functional design allows a single link to provide the versatility of accessing multiple communities without requiring multiple separate links, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If users perform joining procedures for each community separately, then each community joining can be completed individually, but the number of procedures increases and user convenience decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecommunity joining completionVSAvoiduser operation convenience

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple separate joining procedures for different communities are combined into a single integrated joining process. When a user clicks the bundle invitation link, they can select multiple communities to join in one operation rather than completing separate joining procedures for each community, maintaining reliable joining completion while significantly improving ease of operation

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The bundle invitation link is prepared in advance with embedded information about multiple communities. This preliminary preparation allows users to access multiple communities through a single pre-configured link, eliminating the need to perform separate joining procedures and thereby improving user convenience while ensuring reliable community joining

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple separate invitation links are transmitted, then each link can be used for its specific community, but resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecommunity-specific link functionalityVSAvoidresource consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple separate invitation links are merged into a single bundle invitation link that contains encoded information about multiple communities. This reduces resource consumption by transmitting and storing one link instead of multiple links, while the embedded information within the bundle link preserves the adaptability and community-specific functionality needed for accessing different communities

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

Provided are a method and apparatus for generating a bundle invitation link. The method includes obtaining a plurality of invitation links from a first user terminal, each of the plurality of invitation links being connected to at least one community, generating a bundle invitation link connected to a detail page, the detail page including the plurality of invitation links, transmitting the bundle invitation link to a second user terminal, causing a display of the second user terminal to display the detail page in response to receiving, from the second user terminal, an input corresponding to the bundle invitation link, and receiving a data pair from the second user terminal, the data pair including at least one invitation link and an identification value of the second user terminal, and the at least one invitation link being selected from among the plurality of invitation links included in the detail page.
