Instant Messaging File Transfer Resumption Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing instant messaging systems require excessive manual intervention for file transfer resumption in poor network environments, leading to low transfer efficiency and incomplete transfers when one party is offline.
Innovation Solution
Implementing automatic retransfer and resumption options for both senders and receivers, allowing for automatic file retransfer or resumption upon disconnection, with configuration modules to manage these settings and ensure seamless file transfer continuation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual confirmation is required for file transfer resumption, then transfer reliability is improved, but transfer efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic resumption of file transfers by having the sender's terminal automatically retransmit interrupted files without requiring manual user intervention. The terminal detects transfer interruptions and autonomously initiates resumption procedures, including automatic user notification and retransmission execution, thereby resolving the contradiction between reliability and efficiency.
2Ease of operation
If manual confirmation is required for file transfer resumption, then user control is improved, but operation complexity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal automatically manages file transfer resumption processes including detection of interruptions, initiation of retransmission, and user notification. This self-service mechanism reduces operational complexity by eliminating the need for users to manually confirm each resumption step, while still maintaining user control through automatic notification and optional intervention.
3Productivity
If automatic retransfer is implemented, then transfer efficiency is improved, but manual control deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements automatic retransfer functionality where the sender's terminal autonomously detects transfer interruptions and initiates resumption without manual user input. This self-service approach significantly improves transfer efficiency by eliminating manual confirmation steps, while user control is maintained through automatic user notification that allows optional manual intervention if needed.

AI summary
A method and system for file transfer, an instant messaging terminal, and a computer storage medium are described, so as to solve the problem that in case of a poor network environment, too much manual intervention is required when file transfer through an existing instant messaging software encounters a network connection interruption, leading to a low transfer efficiency and poor user. With the present disclosure, an instant messaging terminal is provided with an option of automatic retransfer upon disconnection, an option of automatic reception upon disconnection, and an option of automatic offline-file forwarding upon disconnection, such that when transfer of a file is interrupted, an instant messaging system can automatically retransfer (or resume the interrupted transfer of) the file, thus enhancing efficiency in file transfer.
