Chat File-Voice Message Combining for Context-Rich Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication apps lack the ability to seamlessly integrate and send combined file-voice messages, limiting effective communication through chats.
Innovation Solution
A computer system that enables the creation, combination, and transmission of file-voice messages by displaying a selected file, recording a voice message, and sending the combined message over a chat, using processing devices on user and contact computing devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If separate file and voice message sending is used, then existing communication apps can maintain simple operation, but communication efficiency and integration are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines file sending and voice message sending into a single integrated operation. When a user sends a file, the system automatically records accompanying voice comments and packages them together as a combined message, eliminating the need for separate sending operations and improving communication efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The sending system is enhanced to perform multiple functions simultaneously: it can send files, record voice messages, combine both types of content, and transmit them together through a single messaging operation, making the communication tool more versatile and efficient.
2Ease of operation
If manual separate sending of files and voice messages is used, then existing systems can maintain simple structure, but user interaction and communication effectiveness are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically records voice messages during the file selection and sending process, capturing comments and contextual information before the file is transmitted. This preliminary recording ensures that no contextual information is lost and makes the operation more convenient for users.
Solution Approach 2:
By merging file transmission and voice comment delivery into a single integrated message package, the system ensures that both the file and its contextual commentary are delivered together, preventing information loss and improving ease of operation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If files and voice messages are sent separately, then existing communication apps can maintain simple processing, but communication integration and effectiveness are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The communication system is enhanced to handle multiple message types (files and voice messages) within a single unified processing framework, allowing it to adapt to different communication needs while maintaining versatile functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges the processing of files and voice messages into a single integrated workflow, where both message types are captured, combined, and transmitted together, improving communication integration while managing system complexity through unified processing.

AI summary
A computer system for creating and sending a combined file-voice message over a chat in a communication app from a computing device of a user to a computing device of a contact that comprises a processing device running on the user's computing device. The system is configured to display on the screen of the user's computing device a selected file, display on the screen a recording-combining-sending button that is configured to record a voice message, to combine the recorded voice message with the selected file, and to send the combined file-voice message over the chat, record the voice message, combine the voice message with the selected file for creating the combined file-voice message, send the combined file-voice message over the chat to the computing device of the contact.
