Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face challenges in providing timely and relevant responses to images received in messaging applications, often requiring significant user input and resource consumption, especially when attention is divided or in environments where detailed responses are difficult to compose.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that automatically detect images in messages, extract semantic concepts, and generate suggested responses using graph-based and grammar-based models, allowing users to select and transmit responses with reduced input and resource usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If users manually compose detailed responses to received images, then response relevance and completeness are improved, but time consumption and resource usage increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically analyzing the received image, extracting semantic concepts, and generating multiple candidate response suggestions before the user needs to respond. This pre-computation reduces the user's workload and response time while maintaining relevance through automated image understanding and semantic analysis.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by automatically generating response suggestions based on the received image content without requiring significant user input. The automated suggestion generation system serves itself by utilizing the image data and semantic concepts to produce relevant responses, reducing the need for manual composition while maintaining quality.
2Reliability
If users provide detailed manual responses to images, then communication quality is improved, but device resource consumption and user effort increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces an intermediary component (automated suggestion generation system) that mediates between the received image and the user's response. This intermediary automatically analyzes the image, extracts semantic concepts, and generates multiple candidate responses, reducing the user's effort while maintaining communication quality through automated image understanding and semantic analysis.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by automatically generating response suggestions based on the received image content without requiring significant user input. The automated suggestion generation system serves itself by utilizing the image data and semantic concepts to produce relevant responses, reducing the need for manual composition while maintaining quality.
3Measurement precision
If the system generates multiple suggested responses with high accuracy, then response quality is improved, but computational complexity and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies segmentation by breaking down the complex task of response generation into distinct modules: image analysis module, semantic concept extraction module, and suggestion generation module. This segmentation allows each module to specialize in specific functions, improving overall accuracy while managing computational complexity through modular processing and parallel execution of independent tasks.

AI summary
Implementations relate to automatic response suggestions based on images received in messaging applications. In some implementations, a computer-executed method includes detecting a first image included within a first message received at a second device over a communication network from a first device of a first user, and programmatically analyzing the first image to extract a first image content. The method includes retrieving a first semantic concept associated with the first image content, programmatically generating a suggested response to the first message based on the first semantic concept, and transmitting instructions causing rendering of the suggested response in the messaging application as a suggestion to a second user of the second device.
