Rule-Based Content Collection Sharing for Time and Location Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing messaging systems lack efficient mechanisms for managing and sharing content collections based on time, location, user attributes, and user relationships, leading to suboptimal user engagement and resource utilization.
Innovation Solution
A system that stores rules for content collections, specifying time periods, geolocation, user attributes, and user relationships to control contribution and viewing, prompting users accordingly and reducing computational resources.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the system allows free sharing of content collections without rules, then user engagement and interaction are improved, but computational resources are wasted and time management becomes suboptimal
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-defines content collection types with associated rules before users create content. When a user creates content, the system automatically determines the appropriate collection type based on the content's characteristics and applies predefined rules for sharing, time periods, geolocation, and user attributes. This preliminary structuring eliminates the need for complex real-time decision-making, reducing computational resource consumption while maintaining high user engagement through automated, context-aware content organization.
2Productivity
If the system implements comprehensive rules for content collections, then resource utilization is optimized, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments content collections into distinct types (e.g., personal, professional, temporary, permanent) with specific rules for each type. Each segment has predefined characteristics for sharing permissions, time periods, geolocation requirements, and user attributes. This segmentation allows the system to manage complexity by organizing rules into discrete, manageable categories rather than implementing a single complex rule set, thereby optimizing resource utilization through targeted rule application.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes parameters such as sharing permissions, time periods, geolocation constraints, and user attributes based on the identified content collection type. By dynamically adjusting these parameters according to pre-defined rules rather than implementing complex real-time logic, the system optimizes resource utilization while keeping the underlying structure relatively simple and manageable.
3Adaptability or versatility
If manual management of content sharing is allowed, then flexibility is improved, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by automatically determining the appropriate content collection type and applying relevant sharing rules based on the content's characteristics. When users create content, the system autonomously evaluates the content, identifies the suitable collection type, and configures sharing parameters without requiring manual user input. This self-service mechanism maintains flexibility through automated adaptation while eliminating time-consuming manual configuration, allowing users to focus on content creation rather than sharing management.

AI summary
Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a storage medium storing a program and method for rule-based sharing of content collections. The program and method provide for storing, in association with each content collection, a set of rules with first criteria for adding a content item to the content collection, and with second criteria for viewing the content collection; determining, for a first content collection, that the respective first criteria is met for a first user of a first device; providing, based on the determining, for the first user to generate the content item; adding the generated content item to the first content collection; determining, for the first content collection, that the respective second criteria is met for a second user of a second device; and providing, based on the determining, the first content collection to the second device for viewing by the second user.
