Instant Messaging Group Attribute Switching for Access Flexibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing instant messaging systems lack the ability to dynamically change the attribute information of a group from internal to external or vice versa, limiting flexibility in managing user access and communication within groups.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that allows for converting an instant messaging group's attribute information from internal to external or vice versa in response to a trigger operation, enabling flexible management of user access and communication by utilizing touch identifiers and switch buttons on the group management interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the group attribute is determined at creation time, then the system structure is simple, but the group attribute cannot be changed later
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the group attribute (internal/external) changeable after group creation. The system transitions from a static attribute model to a dynamic one where the attribute can be modified through user operations, allowing the group to adapt its accessibility over time without recreating the group.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by allowing the group attribute parameter to be modified after initialization. The system provides mechanisms to change the group attribute from internal to external or vice versa, enabling flexible adjustment of group properties without fundamentally altering the group structure.
2Ease of operation
If the group attribute is fixed after creation, then the system is stable, but user access management is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system maintains stability through controlled dynamic changes. The group attribute can change from internal to external or vice versa through explicit user operations, providing flexibility in access management while maintaining system stability through well-defined transition mechanisms and permission controls.
3Adaptability or versatility
If no attribute change capability is provided, then the system is simple to implement, but operational flexibility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements parameter changes by providing explicit functionality to modify the group attribute after creation. The system allows changing the group attribute from internal to external or vice versa through user operations, enabling operational flexibility with a relatively simple implementation approach.
