Solution Overview

Problem

In chatrooms, managing a large number of messages effectively is challenging, especially when many users join or when messages accumulate, making it inconvenient for users to read all messages from the beginning.

Innovation Solution

A message management system that generates events based on specific message inputs in a chatroom, assigns replies to these events, and displays them as single messages, allowing users to access correlated information and notifications, while recommending content or functions as replies based on event types.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If all messages are displayed in chronological order, then complete information is provided, but user convenience deteriorates when messages accumulate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage information completenessVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the continuous stream of messages by identifying event messages that mark significant moments. These event messages divide the message flow into distinct event threads, allowing users to jump to specific events of interest rather than reading all messages sequentially. This segmentation preserves complete information while improving accessibility to relevant content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts event messages from the general message flow and creates dedicated event threads for them. By taking out these significant messages and organizing them separately with their associated reply messages, the system allows users to access only the information relevant to specific events, reducing the cognitive load of reviewing all accumulated messages.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Ease of operation

If event management functionality is added, then message organization improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage organizationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically identifies event messages based on predefined criteria without requiring manual user input. The server autonomously creates event threads, assigns message IDs, and organizes reply messages according to the event structure. This self-service approach improves message organization while minimizing the complexity burden on users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The event management system is designed to handle multiple types of messages and events through a unified framework. The same event thread structure and organization rules apply regardless of the specific event type or message content, making the system versatile while maintaining consistent complexity levels across different use cases.

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

AI summary

Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable record media for managing event messages may be provided. A message management method may include generating, by at least one processor, an event related to a chatroom based on an event message input from the chatroom, assigning, by the at least one processor, a reply to the event message, from among messages in the chatroom, to the event, and displaying, by the at least one processor, the reply to the event message in association with the event.
