Instant Messaging Content Indexing via Automatic Folder Generation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In instant messaging applications, users face difficulties in navigating and organizing uploaded content over time, leading to redundant use of computing resources for content classification and storage.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for indexing content in instant messaging services, where users can input requests to index content, and based on user inputs, folders are generated to store the content, reducing redundant resource usage and improving content organization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If content is stored in the application or on an external server for future reference, then users can access uploaded content later, but it becomes difficult for users to navigate back to the content they want as more content is uploaded over time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments content into different types (images, videos, texts, files) and organizes them into separate folders or albums. This segmentation allows users to easily locate specific content by type without sifting through all uploaded content, thereby maintaining ease of navigation while ensuring content accessibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent automatically classifies and organizes content into folders or albums at the time of upload, before users need to access it later. This preliminary organization action eliminates the need for users to manually search through content, maintaining both accessibility and ease of navigation over time.
2Ease of operation
If a function of classifying content by type and storing it separately is provided, then content organization is improved, but computing resources are used redundantly for the task of classifying each piece of content and associating it with folders
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the content classification function with the existing instant messaging application's upload process. By integrating classification into the upload workflow, the system avoids redundant separate classification operations, reducing computing resource consumption while maintaining effective content organization.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs automatic content classification and folder assignment without requiring user intervention or repeated processing. The content is self-categorized based on its type, eliminating redundant computing resources that would otherwise be spent on manual or repeated classification tasks.

AI summary
A method for indexing content in an instant messaging service, performed by one or more processors of a user terminal, includes: receiving, from a user, a first user input corresponding to a request for content indexing, and a content; receiving a second user input to cause an indexing of the received content; and based on receiving the second user input, generating a folder corresponding to the first user input or the second user input, and storing the received content in the folder.
