Solution Overview

Problem

Existing instant messenger systems do not efficiently facilitate the sharing of information between multiple user groups, limiting the ability to easily transmit and receive messages across different user groups.

Innovation Solution

An information processing method and program that allows a terminal to display and transmit content between multiple user groups by associating and citing content from one group within the context of another group, enabling seamless information sharing across different user groups.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If content is manually re-transmitted between different user groups, then information sharing between groups is achieved, but user workload and time consumption increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation sharing efficiencyVSAvoidtime for manual content re-transmission
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal device acts as an intermediary that automatically captures content from a first group chat, processes it, and re-transmits it to a second group chat. This mediator function eliminates the need for users to manually copy and paste content between groups, thereby improving information sharing efficiency while reducing time consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically detecting and capturing content when it appears in the first group chat, before the user would otherwise need to manually intervene. This preliminary capture and automatic re-transmission to the second group resolves the contradiction by eliminating manual workload and time consumption associated with content sharing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of information

If content from multiple groups is displayed separately, then group-specific information integrity is maintained, but user ability to correlate content across groups is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation correlation between groupsVSAvoiduser understanding of content relationships
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal merges content from the first group chat and the second group chat into a unified display interface. This combination allows users to view correlated content from both groups simultaneously, maintaining information integrity while enhancing the ease of understanding relationships between group communications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system adds a new display dimension by showing content from multiple groups in an integrated view rather than separate isolated windows. This dimensional change in information presentation enables users to easily correlate content across groups without losing group-specific information integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Ease of operation

If the terminal automatically captures and re-transmits content between groups, then information sharing convenience is improved, but terminal processing workload increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent sharing convenienceVSAvoidterminal processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal provides self-service functionality by automatically detecting content in the first group chat, capturing it, and re-transmitting to the second group without requiring user intervention. This automation improves ease of operation while the processing complexity is managed through efficient automatic detection and transmission protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

An information processing method to be carried out by a terminal of a user who is included in a first group including a first plurality of users and in a second group including a second plurality of users, including displaying a first image including first contents transmitted and received among first terminals of the first plurality of users in the first group on a display region of the terminal, and transmitting, via a communication interface of the terminal, information relating to a first content among the first contents included in the first image displayed on the display region and a second content inputted via the terminal, the second content associated with the first content and included in a second image including second contents transmitted and received between second terminals of the second plurality of users in the second group may be provided.
