Instant Messaging Public Data Sharing via Conditional Drive Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing instant messaging technologies face challenges in efficiently managing and sharing data across various types of chat rooms, particularly in terms of data backup and accessibility for participants, without adequate consideration for administrator status and storage capacity.
Innovation Solution
A server-based method for instant messaging services that determines whether to enable public data storage in the administrator's drive based on status information and backup settings, allowing participants to access chat data stored as public data, including data sent before joining, subject to account type and storage capacity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If chat data is stored in the administrator's drive as public data, then data accessibility for participants is improved, but storage capacity constraints and account type limitations worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating data storage locations based on participant roles and account types. Administrators with premium accounts store public chat data in their personal drives, while regular participants access data through the server. This creates differentiated access rights and storage locations, allowing high accessibility for authorized users while managing overall storage capacity through the server's coordinated data management.
2Productivity
If public data is enabled for all chat rooms, then data sharing efficiency is improved, but system complexity and management overhead worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the public data storage capability conditional rather than fixed. The system dynamically determines whether to store chat data as public data based on the administrator's account type and available storage capacity. Premium account holders can enable public data storage, while regular accounts cannot, creating a flexible, adaptive system that balances data sharing efficiency with manageable complexity through role-based permissions.
3Reliability
If chat data is retained indefinitely for public access, then data availability is improved, but storage resource consumption worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by introducing time-based and condition-based parameters for data retention. Chat data stored as public data is subject to retention policies that consider the administrator's account type, storage capacity, and data access patterns. The system dynamically adjusts data retention parameters, ensuring critical data remains available while automatically managing storage resource consumption through selective data archiving or deletion based on predefined criteria.

AI summary
Disclosed are a server providing an instant messaging service and an operating method of the server. The operating method of the server providing the instant messaging service, according to one embodiment, may include: determining, based on status information of a drive of an administrator of a first-type chat room and public backup setting information of the chat room, whether to enable public data corresponding to the chat room; when the public data is enabled, storing chat data sent and received within the chat room as the public data in the drive of the administrator; and providing the public data to a terminal of a participant in the chat room.
