Solution Overview

Problem

Third parties cooperating with information sources, such as microblogs, cannot obtain user interaction data, limiting their ability to collect statistics and provide enhanced services.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that receive updated messages, identify messages meeting preconfigured conditions, and push user information and subject messages to third parties, enabling real-time feedback and analysis.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If the information source acts as a single directional bridge for user information and posted messages, then the information transmission function is simple and reliable, but the third party cannot obtain user interaction data and feedback information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction dataVSAvoidinformation flow structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary component (message pushing device) that mediates between the information source and the third party. This intermediary captures user interaction data from the information source and pushes it to the third party, enabling the third party to obtain feedback information without fundamentally changing the simple directional bridge structure of the original system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the information flow into distinct channels: one channel maintains the original simple transmission from user to information source, while another channel segments off the user interaction data for separate pushing to the third party. This allows the system to provide comprehensive data to the third party while maintaining the simplicity of the core information transmission path.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If the third party cannot obtain user activity information on its website, then the system structure remains simple, but the third party cannot collect statistics and perform analysis

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice qualityVSAvoidfeedback information
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where user interaction data (clicks, views, comments, shares) is captured from the information source and pushed back to the third party. This feedback loop enables the third party to collect statistics and perform analysis on user activities, directly improving service quality through data-driven insights.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Loss of information

If all user messages are pushed to the third party, then the third party obtains complete information, but the information transmission efficiency decreases due to unnecessary data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser information completenessVSAvoidinformation transmission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the relevant user interaction data (specifically clicks, views, comments, and shares) from the complete user message set and pushes only this extracted subset to the third party. This selective extraction ensures the third party receives complete information about user activities while avoiding the inefficiency of transmitting all user messages, thereby maintaining high information transmission efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A method and device for sending information are disclosed in the present disclosure. The method comprises the steps of: receiving the current updated message of an information source; deriving the message which satisfies a preset condition from the current updated message; when the message satisfying the preset condition is non-subject message, deriving the user information and subject message correlated to the non-subject message from a server; and sending the information context, identification or link address corresponding to the non-subject message, the correlated user information and subject message to a third party. By sending the non-subject message satisfying a preset condition, and the user information and the subject message correlated to the non-subject message satisfying the preset condition derived from a server to a third party, the third party can know in time the correlated users, the correlated information issued by the users, and so on.
