Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

In multi-person interaction scenarios, such as instant messaging, live streaming, or video conferences, users face inefficiencies when sharing content like contact cards or cloud documents, as they must exit and re-enter interfaces to find and share these items, resulting in a lengthy operation path.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that display a first window within the service interface showing available content for sharing, allowing users to directly select and share target content, such as group contact cards or cloud documents, without leaving the interface.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users exit and re-enter interfaces to find and share content, then content can be shared, but the operation path becomes lengthy and efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent sharing operation pathVSAvoidtime consumed in content sharing

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-displaying the content list in the service interface before the user needs to share content. The content list is prepared and shown in advance, allowing users to directly select and share content without exiting and re-entering interfaces, thus shortening the operation path and reducing time loss.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements universality by integrating the content sharing function directly into the service interface. The service interface serves multiple functions: it displays content, enables content selection, and facilitates content sharing all within the same interface, eliminating the need to switch between different interfaces and improving operational efficiency.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Productivity

If users exit and re-enter interfaces to find and share content, then content can be shared, but user convenience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent sharing efficiencyVSAvoiduser convenience in content sharing

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies merging by combining the content display, selection, and sharing functions into a single integrated service interface. This unified interface allows users to complete the entire content sharing process without leaving the current interface, significantly improving both productivity and ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses preliminary action by pre-preparing and displaying the content list within the service interface before the sharing operation is needed. This allows users to quickly access and select content without having to navigate through multiple interfaces, thereby enhancing both efficiency and user convenience.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action
