Image Processing Chat Routing for Targeted Notifications
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing chat services face issues with users receiving unnecessary notifications about image data receptions, making it difficult to distinguish important from non-relevant notifications.
Innovation Solution
An image processing apparatus that stores information on the transmission source and talk room in association with each other, allowing for targeted transfer and notification of received image data to specific destinations, such as individual users or channels within a chat service.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If notifications of image data reception are sent to all users registered in the chat service, then all users can be informed of the reception, but users are bothered by distinguishing important notifications from non-relevant ones
Solution Approach 1:
The notification system is segmented by talk rooms. Instead of sending notifications to all users in the chat service, the system divides users into different talk rooms and sends notifications only to the appropriate talk room where the image data transmission is relevant. This segmentation allows users to receive comprehensive notifications while maintaining the ability to distinguish important from non-relevant notifications based on their talk room context.
2Loss of information
If notifications are sent to all users in the chat service, then complete information coverage is achieved, but notification relevance and user experience deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The notification system applies local quality by making notifications talk room-specific rather than globally distributed. Each notification is targeted to a specific talk room based on the transmission source information, ensuring that users receive notifications with appropriate relevance to their local context. This eliminates notification noise for users while maintaining complete information coverage within the appropriate talk rooms.
Data Source
AI summary
A method of controlling an image processing apparatus that communicates with a chat service includes storing information on a transmission source of image data and a talk room in the chat service in association with each other, receiving image data, transferring the received image data to a stored transfer destination in association with the information on the transmission source of the image data, and notifying the talk room, stored in association with the information on the transmission source of the image data, that the image data has been received.
