Solution Overview

Problem

Users of electronic devices often miss incoming messages due to the increasing volume of communications and the need for manual checking across different applications, leading to potential missed events or notifications.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device method that registers messages as scheduled events and integrates message management to detect and parse incoming messages at predesignated times, determining if the message corresponds to a registered event, thus indicating whether the event is completed.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If users manually check messages across different applications, then they can view message details, but they may accidentally miss incoming messages due to increasing volume

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage detection accuracyVSAvoidtime spent checking messages
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects incoming messages and matches them with scheduled events without requiring user intervention. The electronic device autonomously parses message content, compares it with registered event information, and determines event completion status, eliminating the need for manual message checking across applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-registers scheduled events with specific detection information and time windows before messages arrive. By having the matching criteria prepared in advance, the system can immediately determine when an incoming message corresponds to a scheduled event, enabling rapid automatic response without manual review.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If users view every message received in various applications, then they can access message information, but they may accidentally miss some incoming messages

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage reception reliabilityVSAvoidnumber of applications to check
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges message detection and schedule management functions into a unified process. Instead of requiring separate applications for message viewing and schedule tracking, the electronic device integrates these functions, automatically correlating incoming messages with scheduled events and providing centralized management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The message processing system is designed to handle multiple message types and formats universally. It can parse and analyze messages from different sources and applications using a single matching mechanism that works across various communication platforms, eliminating the need for application-specific handling.

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

3Productivity

If the system automatically detects and parses messages to match scheduled events, then event tracking efficiency improves, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevent tracking efficiencyVSAvoidmessage parsing and matching complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential detection information from incoming messages that is necessary for matching with scheduled events. Rather than analyzing entire message content, it focuses on extracting specific keywords, phrases, or structural elements that are predefined as matching criteria for particular events, simplifying the processing load.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

An electronic device and method are disclosed. The electronic device includes a communication module, a processor and a memory including instructions executable by the processor to implement the method, including detect whether a message is received through the communication module from an external electronic device during a predesignated time as indicated for a registered event stored in a schedule application, in response to determining that the message is received, parsing the received message to detect whether information obtained by the parsing corresponds to the registered event, and in response to detecting that the obtained information corresponds to the registered event, determine that the registered event is completed.
