Instant Messaging Multimedia Playback Automation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for playing background music during instant messaging sessions are inefficient, requiring multiple steps and manual operations from both local and external users, leading to low efficiency and inconvenience.
Innovation Solution
A system and method where a server determines the instant messaging scenario type and automatically sends multimedia file information to participating terminals to trigger the playback of matching multimedia files, eliminating the need for users to manually search and play the files, using a mapping table to match scenario types with corresponding multimedia files and selecting files based on popularity or preset rules.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If users manually search for and click link addresses to play background music during instant messaging, then the music can be played, but the operation efficiency is low and the process is inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-configures a mapping relationship between instant messaging scenario types and corresponding multimedia files. When a messaging scenario is detected, the system automatically determines and triggers playback of the pre-mapped multimedia file without requiring users to manually search or click links, thus improving both efficiency and ease of operation
Solution Approach 2:
The instant messaging system automatically detects the messaging scenario type, queries the pre-established mapping relationship, and triggers multimedia file playback autonomously without requiring manual user intervention. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for users to perform manual search and click operations
2Productivity
If the system automatically determines scenario types and triggers multimedia playback, then playback efficiency increases and user operations are simplified, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the automatic playback function into distinct modular components: scenario type determination module, multimedia file query module, and playback trigger module. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, making the overall complex system more manageable and maintainable
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a mapping relationship table as an intermediary between the scenario type determination and multimedia file playback. This intermediary structure stores the pre-established correspondence between scenario types and multimedia files, enabling automatic playback through simple table lookup without requiring complex real-time processing or matching algorithms

AI summary
Playing multimedia files includes determining an instant messaging scenario type associated with an instant messaging session, locating multimedia file information that matches the scenario type, and sending the multimedia file information to at least one instant messaging terminal of a plurality of instant messaging terminals participating in the instant messaging session to trigger the at least one instant messaging terminal to play a multimedia file based on the multimedia file information.
