Solution Overview

Problem

Current messaging systems lack the ability to efficiently detect, store, and manage digital assets, leading to user anxiety and resource wastage due to missed notifications and scattered data across devices and platforms.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for detecting, storing, and managing digital assets within a messaging system by clustering messages, classifying clusters, determining digital asset structures, and generating mapping rules to extract and organize digital assets, including physical assets through OCR technology.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If users manually track and manage digital assets across multiple devices and platforms, then they can maintain awareness of their assets, but it consumes significant time and system resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveasset tracking accuracyVSAvoidtime to track assets
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The messaging system automatically detects, extracts, and stores digital assets from incoming messages without requiring user intervention. The system self-manages the asset tracking process by implementing automated detection algorithms that identify assets in messages, classify them into categories, and store them in a centralized repository, thereby eliminating the need for users to manually track assets across multiple platforms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The messaging system is enhanced to perform multiple functions: it not only delivers messages but also automatically detects, extracts, classifies, and manages digital assets within those messages. This multi-functional approach consolidates asset management capabilities into the existing messaging platform, reducing the need for separate tracking systems and minimizing user effort

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If digital assets are scattered across multiple devices and platforms, then users have access to their assets through various channels, but it increases device complexity and makes consolidation difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess across platformsVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges digital asset management capabilities into the existing messaging platform, consolidating assets from multiple sources into a single centralized repository. By integrating asset detection, extraction, and storage functions within the messaging system, it unifies the previously scattered asset management process across devices and platforms, reducing complexity while maintaining accessibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The messaging system acts as an intermediary layer between various communication platforms and the user's asset repository. It receives messages from different sources, automatically extracts digital assets, and stores them in a centralized location, thereby mediating the complexity of multi-platform asset scattering and providing a unified access point

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If messaging systems attempt to detect and manage digital assets automatically, then user effort is reduced, but the system requires advanced detection and classification capabilities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser effortVSAvoiddetection system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The automated asset detection system is segmented into distinct functional modules: message reception, asset detection, asset extraction, classification, and storage. Each module performs a specific task in the asset management workflow, making the overall complex detection system more manageable and maintainable while providing automated asset management with minimal user effort

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to a method including: obtaining, by a computing device, a set of messages, each message including message metadata and message structure, at least one message of the set of messages comprising a digital asset; clustering, by the computing device, the set of messages based on the message metadata and the message structure; classifying, by the computing device, the clusters into categories; determining, by the computing device, a digital asset structure from at least one message cluster; and generating, by the computing device, at least one mapping rule based on the digital asset structure.
