Messaging App Content Item Transmission via Schema
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic devices are limited in the types of data they can transmit via messaging applications, often restricted to text and images, necessitating new techniques for data transmission.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device generates content items using a first application, executes a second application while the first is active, and transmits these content items to a server using the second application, along with a schema to ensure proper handling and execution on the receiving device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional messaging applications are used for data transmission, then text and image data can be transmitted, but the types of data that can be transmitted are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal content item transmission mechanism where a single messaging application can handle multiple data types (text, images, sound, video, and other executable content) through a unified interface. The content item structure and schema system enable the same application framework to transmit diverse content types without requiring separate specialized applications for each data type, thus achieving multi-functionality while maintaining system simplicity
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple application types are supported for content execution, then data sharing capabilities are enhanced, but the complexity of managing and executing different content types increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a schema as an intermediary element that mediates between the messaging application and the target content execution environment. The schema describes the content item's properties, required execution environment, and associated application information, allowing the messaging system to handle diverse content types without direct complexity in the execution management. This intermediary layer enables automatic routing and execution based on schema information
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary actions by embedding execution instructions and application information within the content item and schema before transmission. The content item includes identifiers and metadata that pre-specify how it should be executed, what application is needed, and what environment is required. This preliminary preparation eliminates the need for complex runtime decision-making and simplifies the execution process on the receiving device
Data Source
AI summary
A method is provided including: generating, by an electronic device, at least one content item executable on a first application; executing a second application while the first application is still active; and transmitting the content item to a server by using the second application.
