Message Copying With Style Preservation In Chat Applications
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing messaging technologies do not effectively allow users to copy and forward messages from one chatroom to another while maintaining the original message style, leading to potential inaccuracies and inconvenience in context verification.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that enables users to select and store messages from a first chatroom, transmit them to a second chatroom, and display the copied messages in the original message style by using a message object with expandable data storage, encoding data as key-value pairs, and displaying it in an existing message format.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If messages are copied and forwarded using existing messaging technologies, then message transmission is achieved, but the original message style and formatting are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a copy of the original message that preserves its style and formatting information. By copying not just the text content but also the metadata associated with the message (such as sender information, timestamp, and styling data), the system maintains the original message's appearance and context when forwarded to another chatroom.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent embeds the copied message within a message object structure that contains both the original message content and its associated style information. This nested structure allows the forwarded message to retain its original formatting while being transmitted through the messaging system.
2Productivity
If messages are forwarded without maintaining original style, then transmission speed is improved, but context verification accuracy deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system copies the complete message object including all metadata and style information, allowing rapid transmission while preserving the original message's context and formatting for accurate verification by the recipient.
Solution Approach 2:
The message style and formatting information are prepared and attached to the message object before transmission. This preliminary preparation ensures that when the message is forwarded, the style information is already embedded and can be displayed immediately without requiring additional processing or verification steps.
3Reliability
If message style information is preserved during copying, then message accuracy is improved, but data storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential style and metadata information from the original message and stores it within the message object structure. By separating the critical style data from the full message content, the system preserves message accuracy while minimizing the additional storage requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The message style information is converted into a compact data format that can be efficiently stored within the message object. By changing the representation of style data from verbose to condensed parameters, the system maintains complete style information while reducing the storage overhead.
Data Source
AI summary
A message providing method, system, apparatus, and/or non-transitory computer readable recording medium thereof may include storing at least one message selected from a chatroom of a messenger; and transmitting the stored at least one message and data information associated with the corresponding message through a specific chatroom in response to a selection on the specific chatroom. A user-side client included in the specific chatroom may display the stored at least one message in an existing message style based on the data information.
