Solution Overview

Problem

When an email is sent to multiple recipients, recipients may receive duplicate content, such as original messages, leading to unnecessary duplication, which can consume network data and clutter the inbox.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device generates a first file in a chat mail view format that parses and displays only the original message content of an email, allowing users to view and send emails without redundant information, using a processor to manage email display and transmission in chat view mode.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If email is transmitted to multiple recipients with full original message content, then each recipient receives complete information, but duplicate content consumes network data and clutters inbox

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidnetwork data consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The email transmission system is segmented into two parts: a compact representation (chat view format) for transmission and storage, and an expanded representation (original format) for display when needed. This segmentation allows the system to store only essential information while providing complete content when required, reducing network data consumption without sacrificing information completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts and stores only the essential elements of email content in chat view format (sender, recipient, timestamp, brief content) while removing redundant original message attachments. When an email is viewed, the system retrieves this extracted information and reconstructs the full original message content, thereby reducing network data consumption while maintaining information completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Reliability

If email is transmitted to multiple recipients with full original message content, then each recipient receives complete information, but inbox becomes cluttered with duplicate messages

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidnumber of email messages
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple email transmissions with the same original message content are merged into a single chat view format representation. Instead of storing separate copies of the same email content for each recipient, the system consolidates them into one unified format that contains all essential information, thereby reducing the quantity of email messages while maintaining information completeness for all recipients.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a simplified copy (chat view format) of the original email message for storage and transmission purposes. This copy contains all necessary information in a compact form, and when needed, the full original message can be reconstructed or displayed, reducing inbox clutter while preserving information completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Reliability

If traditional email format is used, then all original message content is preserved, but user experience is degraded due to redundant information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent preservationVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The email display system is made dynamic, allowing automatic switching between chat view format (for efficiency and reduced clutter) and original format (for complete content preservation). The system can adaptively choose the appropriate view based on user interaction, device state, or email properties, thereby improving user experience while maintaining content preservation capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The chat view format acts as an intermediary between the stored email data and the user interface. Instead of directly displaying the full original message content in all cases, the system uses the chat view format as an intermediate representation that provides a cleaner, more efficient display while allowing users to access the complete original content when needed, thus improving user experience without sacrificing content preservation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
