Solution Overview

Problem

Business messenger applications face difficulties in efficiently searching for and accessing message histories across multiple chat rooms, requiring users to manually search and navigate through various chat rooms, which is inconvenient and time-consuming.

Innovation Solution

A method that identifies users by name on a message writing screen and automatically provides a recommended chat room list and conversation history, allowing users to send messages directly to relevant chat rooms without manual searching, and includes features for creating new chat rooms and displaying conversation histories on the same screen.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users manually search and navigate through multiple chat rooms to send messages, then they can access any chat room, but the process becomes time-consuming and inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of sending messageVSAvoidtime to search chat room
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-processes and stores chat room information including member lists and message histories before the user needs to send a message. When a user types a recipient's name, the system quickly retrieves pre-prepared chat room data matching that user, eliminating the need for manual searching and navigation through multiple chat rooms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of information

If users enter individual chat rooms to search for message history, then they can access conversation history, but the process requires multiple steps including reentering and exiting chat rooms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess to message historyVSAvoidnumber of steps to access history
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts message history information from chat rooms and presents it directly in the message composition interface. Instead of requiring users to navigate into chat rooms to view history, the system pulls out the relevant conversation history and displays it alongside the message input field, allowing users to access history without leaving the composition screen.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The message composition interface is designed to serve multiple functions simultaneously: composing new messages, searching for recipients, displaying relevant message history, and recommending chat rooms. This multi-functional interface eliminates the need to switch between different screens or enter chat rooms just to view history.

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If the system provides comprehensive chat room information, then users can find any chat room, but the interface becomes cluttered and difficult to use on mobile devices

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechat room search capabilityVSAvoiduser interface convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The interface displays different information elements in optimized locations and formats suited to their purpose. The message input area remains clean and prominent for composition, while chat room recommendations and message history are displayed in compact, non-intrusive formats in adjacent areas. Search functionality is triggered by simple user actions like typing a recipient's name, providing comprehensive search capability without overwhelming the interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
