Solution Overview

Problem

In instant messaging systems, the commenting channel for emoticons and images is often deep and difficult to access, leading to low commenting efficiency.

Innovation Solution

An information pushing method and apparatus that detects the presence of images in instant messages, generates recommendation information based on user identifiers, and automatically pushes this information to the user's terminal, providing a direct commenting interface.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users actively search for official or artist channels to comment on emoticons, then they can access commenting functionality, but the entrance is deep and commenting efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccessibility of commenting channelVSAvoidcommenting efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by automatically detecting images in instant messages and proactively pushing commenting interface information to users before they need to search for channels. The server monitors message content, identifies images, and pre-preps the commenting interface for immediate user access, eliminating the need for users to navigate deep into the application to find commenting functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system provides a deep commenting channel structure with official and artist channels, then comprehensive commenting functionality is available, but the entrance becomes difficult to access

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommenting functionality completenessVSAvoidcommenting channel accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts the essential commenting functionality from the deep channel structure and delivers it directly to users through pushed interfaces. Instead of requiring users to navigate through official channels and artist profiles, the system extracts the core commenting capability and presents it immediately alongside the detected image, maintaining functionality while improving accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The server acts as an intermediary that bridges users and the deep commenting channel structure. When a user sends or receives an image, the server intercepts the interaction, retrieves relevant commenting information from the backend channel structure, and presents it through a simplified pushed interface, mediating between the complex backend structure and user needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a method for information pushing. An instant message is received from a user. The instant message includes a user identifier of the user. A detection is made by circuitry of an information processing apparatus as to whether the instant message includes an image. Recommendation information is generated by the circuitry of the information processing apparatus according to the image and the user identifier based on a determination that the instant message includes the image. The recommendation information is pushed to a terminal corresponding to the user identifier. The user inputs a comment for the image through the terminal according to the recommendation information.
