Solution Overview

Problem

Users face the inconvenience of having to re-register extensive setting information when using a software robot program for a service, especially when they want to replicate settings from another user, leading to a cumbersome and labor-intensive process.

Innovation Solution

A message providing device that allows users to register setting information for a software robot program once, enabling the automatic association and transfer of this information between users through a control section, reducing the need for repetitive registration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If setting information is registered for each user individually, then each user can have customized settings, but the registration process becomes labor-intensive and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecustomized settingsVSAvoidregistration time

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a copying mechanism where setting information registered by one user can be copied to another user. The system includes a copying section that copies setting information from a first user to a second user, and a registration section that registers the copied information for the second user. This allows users to reuse existing settings without re-entering them, significantly reducing registration time while maintaining customization capability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary registration of setting information by one user, which can then be reused by other users. Instead of requiring each user to register settings from scratch, the system stores the preliminary registration results and makes them available for copying, thereby reducing the time burden on subsequent users.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If many items are provided as setting information, then comprehensive customization is enabled, but the registration procedure becomes more complicated

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecustomization optionsVSAvoidregistration procedure

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

By implementing the copying function, users can replicate comprehensive setting configurations from one user to another with a single operation. This eliminates the need to navigate through multiple registration steps for each setting item, thereby simplifying the registration procedure while preserving all customization options.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the registration process across users by allowing setting information to be shared and copied between them. Instead of treating each user's registration as a separate, complex procedure, the system combines the registration efforts by enabling one user's settings to serve as a template for others, reducing the overall procedural complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Reliability

If setting information is not transferred between users, then user-specific settings are maintained, but user labor is increased when wanting to use same settings

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser-specific settingsVSAvoidsetting registration

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The copying section enables setting information to be copied from one user to another while maintaining the integrity and user-specific nature of the settings. The copied information is registered under the second user's identification, ensuring that each user has their own settings while reducing the labor required to obtain them.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides self-service capability where users can automatically obtain setting information from other users without manual re-registration. The copying and registration process is automated, allowing users to service their own registration needs by simply selecting existing settings to copy, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining user-specific customization.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A message providing device includes a receiving section that receives a registration request for setting information regarding an operation of a software robot program for each user, the software robot program operating on a message service in which a message is transmitted and received between users, to transmit and receive the message to and from a user, a registration section that registers setting information for a first user in association with identification information of the first user, in response to the registration request from the first user, and a control section that performs control such that at least a portion of the registered setting information for the first user is registered as setting information for a second user in association with identification information of the second user, corresponding to transmission and reception of a message between the first user or the second user, and the software robot program.
