Instant Messaging Content Sharing with Automatic Recommendation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing instant messaging applications require users to manually load and share content within chat rooms, which is time-consuming and limits the types of content that can be shared, and users face inconvenience in communicating opinions on shared content.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that determines if content exists for a chat room, outputs a share recommendation message, and upon user response, shares the content within the chat room, potentially initiating a video call to display the content with other users, allowing for real-time opinion sharing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users manually load and share content through the chat room, then content sharing functionality is achieved, but it requires considerable time and limits the types of content that can be shared
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically detecting and preparing content to be shared before the user initiates the sharing process. The server identifies relevant content based on user activity information and pre-processes it for sharing, eliminating the need for users to manually search and load content from external sources.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by automatically detecting content that users want to share based on their activity information, generating share recommendation messages, and facilitating the sharing process without requiring users to manually search for or load content. The system serves itself by identifying and preparing shareable content autonomously.
2Ease of operation
If users individually view shared content and send text messages or initiate calls to communicate opinions, then content evaluation is possible, but the process becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges the content viewing experience with real-time communication capabilities by initiating video calls that synchronize content playback across multiple user devices. This combination allows users to view and discuss content simultaneously in a unified interface, eliminating the need for separate text messaging or individual call initiation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements real-time feedback mechanisms through synchronized video calling, where users can immediately share their opinions and reactions to the shared content while viewing it together. The system facilitates instant verbal feedback and discussion, replacing the delayed feedback of text messages with immediate interactive communication.

AI summary
A method for sharing content on an instant messaging application operating in a user terminal including determining whether content-to-be-shared for a chat room associated with a user account of the instant messaging application exists, outputting a share recommendation message for the user account through the chat room in response to a result of the determining indicating that the content-to-be-shared exists, receiving a response to the share recommendation message from the user account, and outputting the content-to-be-shared for the chat room based on the received response to the share recommendation message may be provided.
