Chat Interface Shared Group Creation for Targeted Member Messaging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The operation process of sending a message to specific members in a chat group is complex and time-consuming, especially when the user needs to add members as friends or create new chat groups, and messages can be drowned out by noise, leading to missed notifications.
Innovation Solution
An interface display method that allows users to quickly establish a shared group by selecting members from a target list within a chat application, enabling direct communication without requiring a friend relationship, through a series of user inputs to create a chat or call interface for the shared group.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the user separately sends the message to each target member or creates a new chat group, then the message can be delivered to the target members, but the operation process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the target members into a selectable list displayed in the interface, allowing the user to choose specific members for the shared group rather than dealing with all members individually. This segmentation enables precise message delivery while simplifying the operation process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-displaying a target list of members who can be invited to the shared group. The system prepares the member selection interface in advance, allowing the user to quickly choose target members without going through complex addition processes for each member.
2Ease of operation
If the user adds members as friends before sending messages, then the user can communicate with the members, but the operation process becomes time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism - the shared group interface - that allows communication with members without requiring prior friend relationships. The system acts as a mediator that enables message delivery to members who are not friends with the user, eliminating the time-consuming friend addition process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements universality by creating a shared group that can include members regardless of their friend status with the user. The interface serves multiple functions: it displays the target list, enables member selection, and facilitates message delivery to both friends and non-friends, eliminating the need for separate friend addition operations.
3Reliability
If the user sends messages in the original chat group, then the members can receive the messages, but the messages get drowned out by useless messages
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the message delivery function from the original chat group context and creates a separate shared group interface. By taking out the message sending operation into a dedicated shared group, the system isolates the message delivery process from the noisy original group conversation, ensuring reliable notification to target members without interference from useless messages.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by creating a focused shared group environment specifically for communicating with target members. This local quality ensures that messages in the shared group are delivered directly to the intended recipients without being diluted by the broader context of the original group's useless messages.
4Reliability
If the user creates a new chat group for sending messages to multiple members, then the messages can be sent to all members, but the operation process becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-preparing the shared group interface and target list before the user needs to send messages. The system is configured in advance to allow quick selection of members and initiation of the shared group, eliminating the complex step-by-step group creation process while maintaining reliable message delivery to multiple members.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention disclose an interface display method and an electronic device. The method includes: receiving a first input by a user in a case that a first interface of a first application is displayed, the first interface being an interface corresponding to a first group; displaying a second interface in response to the first input, the second interface including a target list, the target list including at least one of following: a member list of at least one group in the first application or a contact list in an address book in the first application; receiving a second input by the user for N members in the target list; displaying a third interface in response to the second input, the third interface being an interface corresponding to a shared group, the shared group including at least two members of the N members, where in a case that the target list is a member list of the first group, the third interface is a group chat interface.
