Keyword-Triggered User Group Creation Within Chat Sessions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for creating a group or inviting a person to join a group in chat tools require repeated switching between sessions and are complicated, affecting user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method where a user ID is set to an interactive state based on a keyword in a session record, allowing users to determine target members and create or join a group with a single touch operation, eliminating the need for manual searches and session switching.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional group creation method is used (exit current session, tap Create Group button, select target person from friend list), then group can be created, but the process is long and requires repeated switching between sessions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the group creation function directly into the current session interface by displaying a selection panel within the session window. This allows users to create groups without exiting the current session, combining what were previously separate operations (session management and group creation) into a single integrated workflow.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically displaying the selection panel with target persons when specific conditions are met in the session record. This pre-prepared interface eliminates the need for users to manually navigate to different screens, as the group creation options are already presented in advance within the current context.
2Ease of operation
If traditional invitation method is used (tap Invite Member button, select person's name from friend list, confirm selection), then person can be invited to join group, but the operation is complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the invitation functionality with the existing session interface by displaying the selection panel directly in the session window. This integration merges what were previously separate operations (accessing invitation features and selecting members) into a unified process that occurs within the same interface context.
Solution Approach 2:
The system extracts the essential invitation functionality from the complex traditional workflow and presents it as a simplified selection panel. By taking out only the necessary elements (target person selection and confirmation) and removing unnecessary intermediate steps, the invention reduces operational complexity while maintaining the core invitation capability.
3Productivity
If manual search from friend list is used to find target person, then target person can be selected, but the process requires repeated switching and is time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically preparing and displaying the selection panel with relevant target persons based on the current session context. This pre-computation and presentation of options eliminates the need for users to manually search through friend lists, as the appropriate candidates are already identified and displayed in advance.
Solution Approach 2:
The selection panel acts as an intermediary between the session record and the friend list. Instead of requiring direct manual searching of the friend list, the system introduces this intermediate interface that filters and presents relevant target persons based on the session context, thereby speeding up the selection process.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a method for generating a user group. The method includes: setting a user ID to be in an interactive state in response to the user ID and a keyword appearing in a session record; determining a target member of a target user group and displaying a create control in response to a first touch operation on the user ID; and creating the target user group including the target member in response to a second touch operation on the create control.
