Solution Overview

Problem

Existing messaging systems fail to enable users to embed focused summaries of references within messages, leading to incomplete or cumbersome conversations due to format changes across different devices, and lack of context-aware message conversion options.

Innovation Solution

Systems and methods that modify message formats based on device context and compatibility, allowing for embedded content and context-aware message conversion to ensure clear communication across diverse devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If a reference link is incorporated into a message, then the recipient can access the reference, but the recipient must leave the messaging application to review the reference content

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereference content accessibilityVSAvoidmessaging application continuity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary component that extracts and embeds focused content from reference sources directly into the message. This intermediary process allows the reference information to be delivered within the messaging application without requiring the recipient to navigate away to external links, thus maintaining application continuity while preserving information accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system extracts only the pertinent and focused content from the full reference source and embeds it directly into the message. This extraction principle allows the essential information to be delivered within the messaging context, eliminating the need for recipients to leave the application while still providing the necessary reference material.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Manufacturing precision

If a message format is optimized for the drafter's device, then the message displays correctly for the drafter, but the format may alter or lose information when transmitted to different device types

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage format accuracyVSAvoiddevice compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic message formatting that automatically adapts the message content and structure based on the recipient's device type. The system detects the receiving device characteristics and adjusts the message format accordingly, ensuring optimal display accuracy for each device while maintaining the core reference information integrity across all platforms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes message parameters such as format, structure, and content presentation based on the receiving device type. By dynamically adjusting these parameters, the message maintains its informational integrity and display accuracy across diverse device environments, resolving the conflict between format precision and device adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Loss of information

If the drafter describes aspects of a reference based on their device preview, then the message reflects their intended focus, but the received version may have different locations or non-existent aspects due to format alterations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereference aspect accuracyVSAvoidmessage format consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary extraction of focused content from the reference source at the time of message drafting. By pre-extracting and embedding the relevant content before transmission, the system ensures that the reference aspects the drafter intends to highlight are preserved in the transmitted message, eliminating discrepancies that would otherwise occur due to device-specific format variations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Systems and methods are presented herein for modifying messages transmitted between a first computing device and a second computing device based on the determination of a context of messages transmitted between the first and second computing devices. A first message, prepared to be transmitted to a second computing device, is prepared at a first computing device. The message contains a reference and a context of the message is determined. Based on the reference and the context, a modification of the message is determined. In response to determining the modification, the message is modified and transmitted from the first computing device to the second computing device. The modification is performed relative to the reference and the context.
