Context-Aware Object Identifier Suggestions for Targeted Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication systems require users to manually search for and select object identifiers, such as images, which can be time-consuming and inefficient, especially when trying to share relevant content with other users.
Innovation Solution
An object management service determines relevant object identifiers based on communication context and user associations, suggesting them to a first user for sharing with a second user, while also suggesting candidate recipients for the object identifiers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If users manually search for and select object identifiers, then they can find relevant content, but the process becomes time-consuming and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically determining and suggesting relevant object identifiers before the user needs to select them. The object management service analyzes communication context and user associations to pre-compute suitable object identifiers, presenting them to the user for quick selection rather than requiring manual search
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by automatically generating suggestions for relevant object identifiers based on the communication context and user profiles. The object management service autonomously analyzes the situation and provides tailored suggestions without requiring the user to manually search through available objects
2Measurement precision
If the system suggests object identifiers based on communication context and user associations, then relevance is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The object management service performs multiple functions within a single system component: it determines communication context, analyzes user associations, generates object identifier suggestions, and presents them to users. This multi-functionality consolidates what could be separate complex systems into one unified service
Solution Approach 2:
The object management service acts as an intermediary between the user and the object database. It mediates the suggestion process by analyzing context and associations, then presenting filtered recommendations to the user, reducing the complexity of direct user interaction with the entire object database
3Productivity
If the system automates the selection process, then efficiency is improved, but the extent of automation increases system complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements partial automation by suggesting object identifiers to the user rather than automatically selecting and sharing them without user input. This partial action approach balances automation efficiency with user control, providing suggestions that require minimal user intervention while maintaining user agency in the final selection

AI summary
Described are systems and methods that suggest candidate recipients to receive an object identifier from a first user. For example, a first user, independent of a conversation with a second user, may select, close-up, or otherwise view an object identifier. The system, upon detecting the interaction with the object identifier by the first user, may determine one or more second users to suggest to the first user as candidate recipients with which the first user can share the viewed object identifier. The systems and methods may also suggest object identifiers to share with a selected recipient and/or determine two or more users that have a common connection and share an object identifier related to the connection with each of those users.
