Group-Based Communication Calendar Digest Generation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic calendars lack the ability to intelligently curate and present relevant content to users prior to events, leading to inefficiencies in data management and user preparation for events.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for programmatically generating and transmitting electronic group-based communication calendar digests, which involve extracting event occurrence parameters, determining conversation and content topics, retrieving relevant data objects, and aggregating them into a digest for display within a group-based communication interface, allowing users to prepare for events with relevant information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If conventional electronic calendars transmit all calendar data to users, then users have access to complete information, but data transmission and storage requirements increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the most relevant content from calendar events and transmits it to users through digest messages, rather than transmitting all calendar data. This selective extraction reduces data transmission volume while maintaining information quality, directly resolving the contradiction between information completeness and data quantity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments calendar information into digest messages that are delivered at specific intervals before events, rather than transmitting all information at once. This segmentation allows users to receive manageable portions of information over time, reducing peak data transmission requirements while ensuring information delivery.
2Reliability
If conventional electronic calendars provide all event details upfront, then users have complete preparation materials, but user preparation time increases and bandwidth demands rise
Solution Approach 1:
The patent delivers digest messages containing event preparation materials at predetermined intervals before events occur, allowing users to prepare incrementally over time rather than receiving all materials at the last moment. This preliminary action ensures users have necessary information for reliable preparation while distributing the time burden across multiple smaller interactions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements periodic delivery of digest messages at scheduled intervals before events, rather than providing all information at once. This periodic action allows users to process information in manageable chunks over time, reducing immediate preparation time demands while ensuring reliable event preparation through cumulative information delivery.
3Loss of information
If electronic calendars transmit comprehensive calendar data, then users receive complete event information, but processing demands on user devices increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and transmits only the most essential event information through digest messages, removing unnecessary data from the transmission. This extraction reduces processing requirements on user devices while maintaining the completeness of critical event information, directly resolving the contradiction between information completeness and device complexity.
