Solution Overview

Problem

Users face inefficiencies in sharing content, such as games or videos, with friends over the internet, as they need to manually contact and invite friends separately, and existing systems lack a streamlined method for accessing shared content within social network services.

Innovation Solution

A service system and method that allows users to access and share content by managing chat rooms within social network services, where users can request and receive lists of chat rooms, generate links for sharing content, and provide these links to participants, enabling seamless access to shared content like game rooms or instance spaces.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If users manually contact and invite friends separately to share content, then content sharing can be achieved, but the process becomes time-consuming and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent sharing efficiencyVSAvoidtime for manual invitations
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automatic content sharing by having the service server automatically transmit content and link information to chat rooms without requiring manual invitation processes. Users simply select content and the system handles the distribution automatically through the SNS integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a service server as an intermediary that bridges the content providing service and the SNS. This server automatically handles the transmission of content and link information between different systems, eliminating the need for direct manual contact between users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If existing systems use separate manual contact methods for sharing, then content can be shared, but the operation process becomes complex and cumbersome

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent sharing operationVSAvoidsharing process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the content providing service with the SNS by integrating chat room functionality directly into the content sharing process. Users can access content and share it through the same interface without switching between separate manual contact methods and content access systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The service server provides multiple functions including content transmission, link generation, and SNS integration within a single system. This multi-functional approach simplifies the overall process by consolidating what would otherwise require multiple separate operations into one unified interface.

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

3Loss of information

If the system provides detailed explanations and manual guidance for content access, then content can be shared accurately, but the process becomes more time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent access informationVSAvoidtime for detailed explanations
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-generates and transmits link information containing all necessary access details before the user needs to access the content. The service server automatically prepares and sends the links with embedded information about content location and access methods, eliminating the need for real-time detailed explanations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of manually typing or explaining detailed access information, the system automatically copies and transmits pre-formatted link information containing all necessary details. This automated copying process preserves all required information while significantly reducing the time needed for transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

A service system for providing a service using a social group community function and a method therefor are provided. The method includes transmitting information, on a list of a chat room associated with a content providing service among a plurality of chat rooms managed in the SNS, to a server which provides the content providing service according to a request from the server which provides the content providing service a user of the SNS accesses, receiving information about a chat room selected by the user on the list of the chat room and link information from the server, and providing the link information to participants of the selected chat room through the selected chat room.
