Interactive Messaging Platform Real-Time Event Updates
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Online messaging platforms struggle to accurately represent live events in real time due to static social media content items (SMCIs) that become outdated, providing a scattered and incomplete picture of unfolding events.
Innovation Solution
A messaging platform creates and updates interactive messages with multiple states, using event data from various sources to dynamically change the content presented to users, ensuring relevance and a comprehensive view of the event as it progresses.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If static social media content items are used to represent events, then the content structure is simple and easy to manage, but the content becomes outdated quickly and loses relevance over time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms static SMCIs into dynamic interactive messages that automatically update their content based on real-time event data. The message structure evolves from a fixed state to a dynamic state where content, timing, and presentation adapt automatically as events unfold, resolving the contradiction between content reliability and structural complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes key parameters of the content structure including timing (synchronized with event timestamps), state (multiple representable states reflecting event progression), and content freshness (automatically updated with latest event data). These parameter changes enable continuous relevance without manual intervention, balancing reliability improvement with acceptable complexity.
2Loss of information
If multiple scattered SMCIs are used to cover different aspects of an event, then comprehensive coverage is achieved, but the overall picture remains fragmented and difficult to understand
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple scattered SMCIs into a single unified interactive message that consolidates event information from various sources. By combining disparate content elements into one synchronized message with a unified timeline and coordinated updates, the system achieves both comprehensive information coverage and improved user comprehension through centralized presentation.
3Loss of time
If static content is posted in advance, then preparation time is sufficient and content can be polished, but the content cannot reflect real-time developments or live event progression
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring message templates, data sources, and update rules before events occur. This preparation enables the interactive message to automatically activate and update in real-time during events without requiring manual content creation or posting decisions, achieving both timely response and accurate event representation.
Data Source
AI summary
A messaging platform forms an interactive message with one or more components and broadcasts the interactive message to client devices associated with accounts. The interactive message has a plurality of states that update based on event data received from a content source. While the event is in progress, the messaging platform receives event data relating to the event and transitions to an updated state based on the received event data. When the interactive message transitions to the updated state, the messaging platform updates the interactive message broadcast to the client devices. The interactive message may include interactive components that accounts may use to perform various interactions with the event, the content source, or each other.
