Solution Overview

Problem

Current social network messengers deliver all user modifications through a single notification center or device push system, regardless of importance, leading to communication inefficiency as important notifications are not distinguished from general ones.

Innovation Solution

A message-based notification system that sets a primary notification object, detects it through conversation sessions, and generates a notification message with a redirectable link, delivering it to a user's personal private chatroom for easy verification and action.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If all user modifications are delivered through a single notification center regardless of importance, then the system structure remains simple, but communication efficiency deteriorates as important notifications are not distinguished from general ones

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication efficiencyVSAvoidnotification system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The notification system is segmented into two distinct channels: a notification center for general modifications and a personal private chatroom for important notifications. This segmentation allows important notifications to be distinguished and delivered through a dedicated channel, improving communication efficiency without requiring complete system redesign.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different notification types are assigned different delivery locations based on their importance. General notifications are delivered to the notification center, while important notifications are delivered to the personal private chatroom. This local quality differentiation ensures that important information receives specialized handling while maintaining overall system simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Ease of operation

If all notifications are delivered through the notification center, then the delivery mechanism remains uniform, but user verification effort increases as users must search through numerous notifications to find important ones

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser verification effortVSAvoidnumber of notifications
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting notification delivery locations, important notifications are separated from the large volume of general notifications. Users only need to check their personal private chatroom for important modifications, significantly reducing verification effort even when the total number of notifications is large.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of manufacture

If important notifications are mixed with general notifications, then the notification system remains simple to implement, but the distinguishability of important items deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem implementation simplicityVSAvoidnotification importance distinction
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments notification delivery by creating separate channels for different notification types. This preserves implementation simplicity by using existing chatroom infrastructure while effectively preventing the loss of importance distinction through spatial separation in the user interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A method and a system for providing message based-notification, and a method for providing message based-notification comprises: setting, as a primary notification object, a main object associated with a user of an electronic device among notification objects on a messenger installed in the electronic device; detecting the primary notification object by using a message transmitted or received through a conversation session set between an account of the user of the electronic device and an account of another user; and when the primary notification object is detected, controlling a server to generate a notification message for the corresponding notification object and transmit the notification message to the account of the user of the electronic device.
