Group Type Change Method for Enterprise User Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods lack an efficient way to quickly and easily manage multiple users from the same enterprise in group settings, such as instant messaging applications, especially when hundreds or thousands of users need to be removed simultaneously, which is crucial for data security and collaboration across enterprises.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of cloud computing technology enables a method to change group types and create groups dynamically, allowing for the selection and removal of group members based on affiliation information, facilitating the configuration of groups to limit user access and enhance communication efficiency across enterprises.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual removal of group members is used, then individual user management is possible, but the process becomes extremely time-consuming and inefficient when hundreds or thousands of users need to be removed simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments group members by their enterprise affiliation, organizing them into distinct categories. This allows administrators to select and remove all users from a specific enterprise in one operation, rather than removing each user individually. The segmentation enables bulk operations based on organizational boundaries.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary classification of group members according to their enterprise affiliations before the removal operation. By pre-organizing users into enterprise-based groups and allowing administrators to pre-select target enterprises for removal, the system prepares the data structure in advance, enabling rapid execution when removal is triggered.
2Ease of operation
If group type changing functionality is added, then automated user management based on enterprise affiliation is enabled, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal group type changing mechanism that can transform groups between different types (e.g., from standard groups to enterprise-based groups). This single multi-functional feature enables diverse user management scenarios including bulk removal, enterprise-based organization, and automated affiliation control, replacing multiple separate functions with one versatile system.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary group type classification layer that mediates between individual user management and enterprise-level organization. This intermediary structure allows the system to handle both individual and bulk operations through a unified interface, simplifying the user experience while managing underlying complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If cloud computing technology is implemented for dynamic group creation, then real-time collaboration across enterprises is enhanced, but the infrastructure requirements and system resource consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary configuration of group structures and enterprise affiliations during group creation, storing this metadata in advance. When dynamic group operations are needed, the system retrieves pre-configured information rather than computing it in real-time, significantly reducing computational resource consumption during active collaboration.

AI summary
A method including determining, according to a received type change instruction with respect to a group, a target group type of the group; selecting, according to a limiting condition imposed on group affiliation information of a group member by the target group type, a group member who does not satisfy the limiting condition; and removing the selected group member from the group.
