Solution Overview

Problem

The existing process of editing and collating Instant Messaging (IM) messages is cumbersome, requiring multiple copy and paste operations, leading to inefficient information processing.

Innovation Solution

An information processing method and apparatus that displays session information in a session interface, responds to touch operations to load IM messages directly into a target document, acquiring and loading the messages into a specific position within the document, thereby streamlining the editing and collation process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual copy and paste operations are used to edit and collate IM messages, then the messages can be transferred to a document, but the process becomes cumbersome and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation processing efficiencyVSAvoidoperational convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the IM application and document editing functionality into an integrated system. When a user selects messages in the IM session, the system directly loads them into a target document without requiring external copy-paste operations. This merging of functions eliminates the need to switch between applications and perform manual copying, thereby improving both productivity and ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism that bridges the IM session and document editing. The system provides a direct loading pathway where selected messages are automatically transferred to the target document through an integrated interface. This intermediary function eliminates the need for manual copy-paste operations while maintaining seamless workflow between messaging and document creation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If multiple copy and paste operations are performed to collate multiple IM messages, then the messages can be organized in the document, but the time required increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage collation speedVSAvoidtime for editing operations
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-positioning the target document and preparing the loading mechanism before the user needs to transfer messages. When the user selects multiple messages, the system has already established the document connection and is ready to load all selected messages in one operation. This eliminates the need for repeated copy-paste actions and significantly reduces the time required for message collation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent ensures continuity of useful action by enabling batch loading of multiple messages in a single continuous operation. Instead of requiring separate copy-paste actions for each message or group of messages, the system maintains a continuous loading process that transfers all selected messages to the document in one uninterrupted flow, thereby maximizing productivity and minimizing time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
