Message Marking Gesture Interface for Error Correction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional communication methods require users to send multiple messages to correct errors, leading to inconvenience for the receiving user who must read erroneous, explanatory, and correct messages sequentially.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for processing message marking instructions in a message display window, allowing users to mark, delete, or reference messages with gestures, thereby updating the display to simplify communication by indicating errors or correlations between messages without the need for additional explanatory messages.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users send multiple messages to correct errors, then the correct information can be conveyed, but the communication complexity and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes erroneous messages from the conversation flow by allowing users to delete or mark them as invalid. This eliminates the need for recipients to read through multiple messages to understand the intended meaning, directly reducing time loss while maintaining message accuracy through selective removal of incorrect information
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables users to perform preliminary actions on messages by marking them with specific indicators (such as deletion marks or correction tags) before sending correction messages. This preliminary marking helps the recipient quickly identify which messages are erroneous and should be disregarded, reducing the time needed to process the conversation
2Reliability
If users send multiple messages to correct errors, then the correct information can be conveyed, but the number of messages and communication complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
By extracting and removing erroneous messages from the visible conversation flow through deletion or marking mechanisms, the patent simplifies the message sequence that recipients need to process. This reduces communication complexity by eliminating unnecessary messages while maintaining accuracy through selective removal
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs visual indicators (such as different colors, marks, or highlighting) to differentiate between valid and erroneous messages. This visual coding system allows recipients to quickly understand the status of each message without reading through the entire sequence, reducing perceived complexity while maintaining message accuracy
3Productivity
If users mark or delete messages, then communication efficiency improves, but the operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service mechanisms where common message operations (deletion, marking) are automatically triggered by simple gestures or context-menu selections. The system provides intuitive interfaces that require minimal user effort, making the operations easy to perform while maintaining high communication efficiency through quick message management

AI summary
A method for a device to display a message includes receiving a message marking instruction directed to a message in a message display window; processing the message according to the message marking instruction; and updating the message display window with the processed message.
