Solution Overview

Problem

Group communication often gets overwhelmed by small chats, making it difficult for valuable content to be efficiently shared and viewed among members.

Innovation Solution

A content sharing method and apparatus that allows users to share content within specific organizations, using a server to receive and release content on a dedicated interface, ensuring that shared content is uniformly displayed and easily accessible, reducing the impact of small chats on content visibility.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If group chat is used to improve communication efficiency among members, then communication efficiency is improved, but valuable content gets mixed with and overwhelmed by small chats between members

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication efficiencyVSAvoidcontent visibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the group communication system into two distinct interfaces: a group chat interface for small chats and a content sharing interface for valuable content. This segmentation allows members to access and view content separately from chat messages, preventing content from being overwhelmed by small chats while maintaining efficient communication channels for both purposes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If content is shared in group chat to enable easy access, then accessibility is improved, but content becomes difficult to view due to clutter from small chats

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent accessibilityVSAvoidcontent detectability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts valuable content from the group chat interface and presents it separately on a dedicated content sharing interface. This extraction ensures that content remains easily accessible to all members while being displayed in a clean, organized manner without the visual clutter and noise of small chats, thereby improving both accessibility and detectability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Productivity

If a centralized content sharing platform is introduced to improve content delivery efficiency, then content delivery efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent delivery efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a content sharing interface that serves multiple functions: displaying shared content, notifying members of new content, and providing access to all organization members. By designing this interface to handle multiple tasks within a unified structure, the system achieves improved content delivery efficiency without proportionally increasing complexity, as the same interface infrastructure supports various content sharing operations.

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

AI summary

Provided in one or more embodiments of the present description are a content sharing method and apparatus. The method may comprise: a server receiving a content sharing request initiated by a sharing party user, wherein the content sharing request is used for sharing content to be shared, submitted by the sharing party user, in an organization where the sharing party user is located; and the server releasing the content to be shared to the organization, so that the content to be shared is presented on a content sharing interface related to the organization.
