Automated Contact Relationship Generation in Social Networks
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing network communication systems with social functions have a low success rate for generating contact relationships between strangers, as they require manual interaction and resource-intensive processes for confirming relationships, leading to inefficiency and increased human-machine interactions.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that automatically select target users from an introducer's contacts, send introducing requests, and generate contact relationship data based on response instructions, reducing the complexity and resource consumption of the process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual interaction process is used for generating contact relationships, then users can confirm relationship information, but the number of human-machine interactions increases and success rate decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic introduction by selecting target users from the introducer's contacts and sending introduction requests without requiring manual confirmation from both parties. The system autonomously completes the contact relationship establishment process based on predefined selection criteria, eliminating the need for repeated manual interactions while maintaining high success rates through automated relationship verification.
2Productivity
If automatic introduction process is used, then convenience is improved and interactions are reduced, but system resources are consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-selects target users from the introducer's contacts before sending introduction requests, using predefined selection criteria to identify suitable candidates. This preliminary action reduces the need for iterative manual confirmations and subsequent resource-intensive operations, as the system has already identified appropriate targets before initiating the introduction process, thereby improving efficiency while controlling resource consumption.
3Reliability
If existing contact adding process is executed, then contact relationship can be established, but the process is complex and resource-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts and isolates the core function of contact relationship establishment from the complex existing process. By separating the introduction request sending and response monitoring into distinct automated modules, the system eliminates unnecessary intermediate steps and human interventions while maintaining reliable contact establishment. This extraction simplifies the overall process structure and reduces system complexity.
4Measurement precision
If multiple human-machine interactions are required for confirmation, then relationship accuracy can be verified, but time and resources are occupied
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements automated feedback mechanisms by monitoring response instructions from target users and automatically verifying relationship information through system-generated responses. This feedback loop replaces multiple manual confirmation interactions with automated verification processes that achieve the same accuracy goals much faster, significantly reducing the time required while maintaining relationship information precision.

AI summary
A method and an apparatus for generating contact relationship data in a network communication system are disclosed. The method includes: selecting target users from contacts of an introducer according to a selecting instruction; sending an introducing request to each of user accounts of the target users; monitoring response instructions from the user accounts of the target users, and generating contact relationship data between the user accounts of the target users after detecting that all the user accounts of the target users return response instructions for accepting the introducing request. The apparatus comprises: a target user selecting module, a request sending module, a response monitoring module, and a contact relationship data generating module. Using the present invention, the convenience and success rate of generating contact relationship data is improved.
