Solution Overview

Problem

Users need to manually forward real-time messages multiple times to share them with contacts, making the process cumbersome when dealing with frequently updating group messages.

Innovation Solution

A message display method and apparatus that allows users to input a label indicating a chat topic, creating a virtual group with contacts, where messages belonging to that topic are automatically synchronized and displayed, eliminating the need for repeated forwarding.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users manually copy and send real-time messages multiple times to share with contacts, then message sharing can be achieved, but the operation becomes cumbersome and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage sharing operationVSAvoidtime for sharing messages
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically forwards messages to contacts without requiring manual user intervention. The message forwarding function operates autonomously, detecting when a message needs to be shared and executing the forwarding action automatically, thus eliminating the cumbersome manual copying and sending process while saving time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-configures the message forwarding function with contact information and forwarding rules before messages arrive. When a real-time message is received, the pre-set configuration enables immediate automatic forwarding without requiring users to manually select contacts or compose messages at the moment of sharing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If users trigger the electronic device multiple times to copy and send real-time messages, then complete message sharing is achieved, but the device complexity and operational burden increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage sharing efficiencyVSAvoidmessage sharing process
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges multiple operations (message detection, contact selection, message copying, and sending) into a single integrated automatic forwarding function. Instead of requiring users to perform each step separately multiple times, the system combines these operations into one automated process that handles the entire message sharing workflow.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The message forwarding function serves multiple purposes: it detects real-time messages, identifies relevant contacts, copies messages, and sends them automatically. This multi-functional approach consolidates what would otherwise require multiple separate operations into a single versatile function, reducing device complexity while improving productivity.

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

AI summary

A message display method includes receiving a first input of a user for a first label of a first group and a first contact in a first contact list, the first label being used to indicate a real-time chat message belonging to a first chat topic; displaying a chat interface of a second group in response to the first input, the second group being a group created according to the first contact and the first label; and when a first chat message belonging to the first chat topic is received by the first group, updating and displaying the first chat message in the chat interface.
