Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for posting group voting require manual editing and summarization of messages, leading to inefficiencies and complex operations for creators, making the process time-consuming and cumbersome.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that utilize a document editing tool to display a session list, chat window, and obtain group session messages, automatically generating a voting option based on parsed messages, thereby simplifying the posting process and reducing manual effort.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual editing and summarization methods are used to post group voting, then the voting creator can organize and summarize opinions, but the process becomes time-consuming and operationally complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of posting group votingVSAvoidtime required for manual editing
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically parses group session messages and generates voting options without human intervention. The parser reads messages from the group session, extracts relevant information, and populates the voting editing page automatically, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring manual human operation for each step

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical operations (downloading pictures, opening web pages, copying text, summarizing opinions) with an automated parsing system. The parser uses computational methods to extract information from various message types including images, web pages, and text, substituting human manual labor with an automated information extraction mechanism

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Manufacturing precision

If manual operations are performed to collate messages and summarize opinions, then accurate voting options can be created, but the complexity of editing operations increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of voting option generationVSAvoidcomplexity of editing operations
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a parser as an intermediary component between the group session messages and the voting editing page. This parser acts as a mediator that automatically extracts information from diverse message formats (text, images, web pages) and transforms them into structured voting options, eliminating the need for users to manually collate and summarize while maintaining accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The parser extracts relevant information directly from group session messages and removes unnecessary manual processing steps. By taking out the essential information (opinions, options, contexts) from the messages and directly populating the voting editing page, the system maintains manufacturing precision while dramatically reducing operational complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A method and an apparatus for posting a group voting and a related product. The method includes displaying a session list based on a trigger operation on a voting entrance in a document editing tool, displaying a chat window of a target group session based on the determined target group session in the session list, obtaining a plurality of to-be-parsed group session messages in the chat window, and generating a voting option based on the group session message, and posting a group voting comprising the voting option through the document editing tool.
