Solution Overview

Problem

Current SMS services face challenges in providing a convenient and user-friendly experience, particularly in quickly replying to messages, due to slow input methods and inaccuracies in voice recognition technology in noisy environments, leading to poor user experience.

Innovation Solution

A message processing method that determines user message interaction preferences based on historical interaction data and context, allowing for automatic message replies that cater to the user's personality and preferences, adapting to the message reception context.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If voice recognition technology is used to reply to SMS messages, then input speed is improved, but accuracy deteriorates in noisy environments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinput speedVSAvoidrecognition accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces context information as an intermediary element that mediates between the user's intent and the automatic reply generation. By analyzing context data (location, time, contact relationships, communication history), the system selects appropriate reply templates that accurately reflect user intent even in noisy environments where voice recognition may fail.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining multiple reply templates for different contexts and situations. These templates are prepared in advance based on common communication scenarios, allowing the system to quickly select and fill in appropriate replies without requiring real-time voice recognition or manual input.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If fixed rule-based automatic replying is used, then reply convenience is improved, but reply accuracy deteriorates due to limited rules and fixed content

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereply convenienceVSAvoidreply appropriateness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the static, fixed rule-based system into a dynamic adaptive system. The reply content is no longer fixed but is dynamically generated by selecting from multiple templates based on real-time context analysis. The system adapts to different situations by adjusting which template is selected and how placeholders are filled, making the reply both convenient and contextually appropriate.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameters of the reply generation process by introducing multiple variable parameters (context type, relationship level, communication history) that determine which template to use and how to customize the reply content. This allows the same basic framework to produce highly customized, situation-appropriate replies rather than using a single fixed response.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If manual message input is used, then reply accuracy is improved, but input time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereply accuracyVSAvoidinput time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses copying by creating and storing multiple reply templates that represent common communication patterns and user preferences. Instead of requiring manual input each time, the system copies appropriate templates and customizes them with specific information (names, times, locations) to generate contextually accurate replies quickly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

The present invention discloses a message processing method, terminal and system. The method includes: obtaining a user's historical message interaction information and first context data associated with the user's historical message interaction information, where the user's historical message interaction information includes historical message interaction content and historical message replying status; determining the user's message interaction preferences according to the user's historical message interaction information and the first context data, where the message interaction preferences include a message reply policy and/or a message writing style; receiving a current message sent to the user, and obtaining second context data associated with the current message; and replying to the current message according to the message interaction preferences, the current message, and the second context data. With the message processing method, terminal and system provided in the embodiments of the present invention, the user's message interaction preferences are determined, and the current message can be replied automatically, thereby enhancing user experience.
