Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication services struggle to effectively detect and utilize user reactions to messages during communications sessions, as users often fail to explicitly register reactions through provided interfaces, leading to a suboptimal user experience and inefficient message retrieval.

Innovation Solution

A system that automatically analyzes user reactions using machine learning models to generate standardized reaction data, which is then mapped to proprietary reactions supported by the communication service, enabling seamless integration and recording of user sentiments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If users are provided with an interface to register reactions to messages, then user reactions can be captured, but users often fail to explicitly register reactions leading to loss of reaction data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereaction dataVSAvoiduser interaction requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects and analyzes user reactions without requiring users to manually register them. The machine learning model processes communication data to identify reactions autonomously, eliminating the need for users to interact with reaction registration interfaces while ensuring reaction data is captured.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical interface-based reaction registration system with an automated machine learning-based detection system. Instead of requiring users to click or select reactions through an interface, the system uses algorithms to automatically detect and interpret user reactions from communication data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Measurement precision

If standardized reaction data is generated through machine learning analysis, then reaction detection accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereaction detection accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a machine learning model as an intermediary between raw communication data and reaction detection. This intermediary component processes and interprets communication data to generate standardized reaction data, improving detection accuracy while encapsulating the complexity within a dedicated module that interfaces简单地 with the rest of the system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If proprietary reactions are mapped to standardized reactions, then compatibility across communication services is improved, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication service compatibilityVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal mapping system that translates proprietary reactions from different communication services into standardized reaction data. This universal approach allows the system to work with multiple communication services and reaction types through a single standardized interface, improving compatibility while managing complexity through consolidation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for detecting and analyzing user reactions to messages received. One of the methods includes obtaining reaction data characterizing a reaction of a first user to a communication sent by a second user using a first communication service, wherein the first communication service allows users to react to received communications by selecting from a predetermined set of proprietary reactions that are supported by the first communication service; analyzing the reaction data to generate standardized reaction data that characterizes a sentiment of the reaction of the first user to the communication; mapping the standardized reaction data to one or more proprietary reactions from the predetermined set of proprietary reactions that are supported by the first communication service; and providing, to the first communication service, data identifying the one or more proprietary reactions.
