Solution Overview

Problem

In communication scenarios involving multiple organizations, session messages are scattered, making it difficult to distinguish messages from different organizations, which increases comprehension cost, reduces communication efficiency, and affects device performance.

Innovation Solution

A message display method that uses distinct display styles for session messages based on the organization they belong to, allowing clear differentiation and aggregation of messages within the same organization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If session messages from multiple organizations are displayed without differentiation, then the device complexity is reduced, but the comprehension cost increases and communication efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage display complexityVSAvoidcommunication efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by assigning different display styles (colors, icons, backgrounds) to messages from different organizations. This allows the display system to have uniform structure while maintaining localized differentiation through visual attributes, thereby reducing comprehension cost without significantly increasing device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes color changes as a key visual differentiation mechanism. Messages from different organizations are displayed with distinct colors, enabling users to quickly identify and distinguish organizational sources of messages, thus improving communication efficiency while maintaining simple display logic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

2Productivity

If session messages are displayed with detailed differentiation, then communication efficiency is improved, but the interaction time and device interactions increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication efficiencyVSAvoidinteraction time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments messages by organizational affiliation and groups them with consistent display styles. This segmentation allows users to quickly scan and locate messages from specific organizations without examining each message individually, reducing interaction time while maintaining clear differentiation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-assigning display styles to organizations before messages are displayed. This pre-categorization enables users to immediately recognize message sources without requiring additional interaction or analysis, thereby reducing interaction time while improving communication efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Loss of information

If session messages from multiple organizations are displayed without aggregation, then the information completeness is maintained, but the comprehension cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage information completenessVSAvoidmessage processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges messages from the same organization into unified display groups with consistent visual attributes. This combining approach maintains complete message information while reducing the perceived complexity by presenting organized, grouped messages rather than scattered individual messages.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
