Feed Information Recipient Selection System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In online social networks, efficiently communicating feed information to multiple recipients is cumbersome and time-consuming, as users must manually address each recipient individually, often leading to oversight of relevant recipients and inefficiencies in information dissemination.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a system that automatically identifies and generates a list of additional recipients based on associations, relevance measures, and user-defined criteria, using indicators like '+' to include relevant users in communications, and excluding recipients using indicators like '-', thereby streamlining the process of sending feed items to intended groups or individuals.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users manually address each recipient individually when sending feed information, then the communication process can be controlled precisely, but the time and effort required increases significantly and relevant recipients may be overlooked
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-generates a list of potential recipients based on associations with the feed item (e.g., users who commented, liked, or are connected to the author) before the user needs to send the information. This preliminary preparation eliminates the need for users to manually search and add each recipient individually, significantly reducing the time and effort required while ensuring relevant users are included.
2Productivity
If users manually select recipients for feed information, then communication can be targeted accurately, but the process becomes cumbersome and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically performs the recipient selection task by generating a list of suggested recipients based on predefined criteria and associations with the feed item. This self-service approach allows the system to handle the complex task of identifying relevant users without requiring manual intervention from the user, thereby improving productivity while keeping the user interface simple.
3Reliability
If the system automatically identifies recipients based on associations, then relevant users are ensured to be included, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces an intermediary component that automatically generates a list of suggested recipients based on associations with the feed item (such as users who interacted with the content or are connected to the author). This intermediary layer handles the complex logic of recipient identification in the background, providing reliable and accurate recipient suggestions to the user without exposing the underlying system complexity.
4Ease of operation
If users send feed information to multiple recipients individually, then each recipient receives personalized communication, but the overall communication efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple individual communication tasks into a single bulk operation. Instead of requiring users to send feed information to each recipient separately, the system allows users to select a pre-generated list of recipients and send the information to all of them simultaneously. This combining of operations maintains the ability to reach multiple recipients while dramatically improving the speed and efficiency of information dissemination.

AI summary
Disclosed are systems, apparatus, methods and computer-readable media for communicating feed information to one or more recipients. In some implementations, an instruction to communicate an information update to one or more identified first recipients is received. In some instances, an additional recipient indicator is identified and an identification of one or more second recipients based on the additional recipient indicator is generated. In some instances, the one or more second recipients are provided access to the information update.
