Message App Semantic Icon Analysis for Query Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current message transmission applications do not allow users to conveniently query and share information, such as weather or traffic conditions, without switching between applications during message exchange.
Innovation Solution
A network communication apparatus with a processor, network interface, and display screen that executes a message transmission application, enabling users to select icons corresponding to query categories, analyze messages semantically, and retrieve recommendation messages from a database, displaying them within the same application for easy selection and transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the user switches from the message transmission application to another application for querying information, then the information query can be accomplished, but the operation convenience deteriorates and time is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the information query function with the message transmission application by integrating icons representing different query types (weather, traffic, news) directly into the message interface. Users can access query functions without leaving the messaging app, combining multiple functions into a single application environment.
Solution Approach 2:
The message transmission application is enhanced with multi-functionality by incorporating various query capabilities (weather, traffic, news) alongside the core messaging function. The system provides a universal platform that handles both communication and information retrieval needs within one application.
2Ease of operation
If the message transmission application integrates information query and sharing functions, then the ease of operation improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the information query system into distinct icon-based categories (weather, traffic, news) that are visually separated and easily identifiable. Each icon represents a specific query type, allowing users to access different information services through simple, discrete selections rather than navigating complex menus.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary processing layer that automatically analyzes message content, extracts relevant keywords, and matches them with appropriate query categories. This mediator handles the complexity of integrating multiple functions by automatically routing user interactions to the appropriate service based on contextual analysis.

AI summary
Network apparatuses and a message providing method are provided. A network apparatus includes a processor, network interface, and display screen. The processor executes a message transmission application. The network interface transceives at least one message of the message transmission application. The display screen displays a window of the message transmission application. The window includes at least one icon and the at least one message. The processor determines that a selected icon of the at least one icon corresponds to a selected message of the at least one message. The processor derives at least one keyword by analyzing the selected message according to a semantic analysis rule corresponding to the selected icon. The processor derives at least one recommended message by searching a database according to the at least one keyword. The display screen displays the at least one recommended message.
