Group Object Association Control for Selective Information Visibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current instant messaging systems face challenges in allowing users to selectively communicate or share information with specific group members, leading to complicated and fragmented message interactions, where users often miss important information due to the lack of control over information visibility and accessibility, especially when groups are disbanded.
Innovation Solution
An interaction method that allows for flexible changes in association relationships between object collections, enabling a second object collection to gain independent operational permissions or become subordinate to a first object collection, thereby controlling information interaction and maintaining consistency among member objects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users communicate with all group members in traditional IM systems, then information coverage is complete, but interaction complexity increases and users cannot selectively control information visibility
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the group object collection into multiple sub-object collections (first sub-object collection, second sub-object collection, etc.), each representing different communication scopes. Users can selectively associate member objects with different sub-collections, enabling fine-grained control over information visibility and interaction complexity without affecting the entire group.
2Reliability
If groups are disbanded in traditional systems, then resource management is simplified, but data loss occurs and operational integrity is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the association relationship between object collections and member objects as an independent configurable parameter. When a group is disbanded, the system can preserve the object collections and their associations with member objects, allowing data to be retained and reused in new group structures rather than being lost with the original group.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic association relationships where object collections can be flexibly associated or disassociated with different groups over time. The system maintains operational integrity by preserving the core data structures and associations even when group compositions change, enabling adaptive reconfiguration without data loss.
3Reliability
If traditional IM systems allow free information sharing, then communication efficiency is high, but information security and access control are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different access control qualities to different sub-object collections. The first sub-object collection can be configured with restricted access for sensitive information, while the second sub-object collection allows broader sharing. This local differentiation of security properties enables secure communication without uniformly restricting all information flow, maintaining productivity while enhancing security.

AI summary
An interaction method, an interaction apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium are provided. The interaction method includes: obtaining a change request for changing an association relationship between a first object collection and a second object collection; and changing the association relationship between the first object collection and the second object collection, so as to allow the second object collection to be no longer subordinate to the first object collection, or to allow the second object collection to be subordinate to the first object collection.
