Conversation File Sending via Storage Path Interface Jump
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing file sending methods in chat applications require users to manually search through multiple folders to locate and send files, leading to cumbersome and time-consuming operations, resulting in low efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that allows users to directly input or drag a target file in a conversation interface, updating the interface to display its storage path or desktop, enabling quick addition of the file to another application without manual folder searching.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If users manually search through multiple folders to locate files, then files can be found and sent, but the operation becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically retrieves and displays the storage path information of the target file in advance, before the user needs to send it. This preliminary action eliminates the need for users to manually search through folders, as the file location is already provided by the system
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism (the file management system) that bridges the gap between the user's intent to send a file and the actual file location. This intermediary automatically queries and provides the storage path, serving as a mediator that eliminates manual searching
2Ease of operation
If users search through multiple folders to find files, then the required file can be located, but the number of operations increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the complex folder searching process from the user's task. Instead of requiring users to navigate through multiple folders, the system extracts and provides only the essential information (storage path) needed to complete the file sending operation
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically querying and providing the storage path of the target file. This eliminates the need for users to manually search through folders, as the system serves itself to provide the necessary file location information

AI summary
A file sending method and an electronic device are provided. The method includes: in a case that a conversation interface is displayed, receiving first input of a user. The conversation interface includes at least one file. The first input is input performed by the user for a target file in the at least one file. The method further includes updating the conversation interface to a first interface in response to the first input. The first interface is a desktop or a target interface displayed based on a storage path of the target file. The desktop includes an identifier of the target file. The target interface includes the target file. The method also includes receiving second input of the user. The method additionally includes in response to the second input, sending the target file by using the target application program.
