Instant Messaging Terminal Priority Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Multiple mobile terminals under the same account simultaneously processing instant messaging information leads to user privacy concerns, security issues, and processing confusion.
Innovation Solution
Each powered-on terminal receives priority information from a cloud server, with users setting priorities, allowing only the terminal with the highest priority to process instant messaging information and update its status, thereby ensuring secure and private handling of information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If all powered-on terminals under the same account simultaneously process instant messaging information, then the user can access information on multiple devices, but user privacy and security deteriorate and processing confusion occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent assigns different priority levels to different terminals under the same account, creating local quality differences in information processing rights. Each terminal is tagged with a unique priority value, and only the terminal with the highest priority processes instant messaging information, while other terminals are restricted from processing. This resolves the contradiction by allowing multi-terminal access capability while ensuring that at any given moment, only one terminal (the highest-priority one) actually processes sensitive information, thus maintaining privacy and security.
2Adaptability or versatility
If all powered-on terminals under the same account simultaneously process instant messaging information, then the user can access information on multiple devices, but processing confusion and inconvenience occur
Solution Approach 1:
By assigning unique priority identifiers to each terminal, the system creates a clear hierarchy that eliminates processing confusion. When instant messaging information is sent, the system can deterministically identify which terminal should process it based on priority comparison, avoiding the confusion that would arise from multiple terminals simultaneously attempting to process the same information.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-assigning priority levels to each terminal before information processing occurs. This preliminary prioritization eliminates the need for real-time negotiation or conflict resolution between terminals, as the processing rights are already determined in advance based on the priority hierarchy. Users can also adjust priorities as needed, maintaining flexibility while avoiding processing confusion.
3Speed
If priority information is stored locally on each terminal, then processing speed is improved, but data consistency and security across terminals deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by having terminals periodically synchronize with the server to update their priority information. The server acts as the source of truth, and terminals receive feedback about their current priority status and adjust accordingly. This ensures data consistency across all terminals while still allowing fast local processing, as the priority comparison operation itself remains quick even though synchronization occurs periodically.

AI summary
A method, device and system for processing instant messaging information and setting terminal priority, wherein the method for processing instant messaging information includes: each powered-on terminal under the same account of a user respectively receiving priority information corresponding to each terminal and sent by a cloud server; and when a powered-on terminal receives instant messaging information, the terminal judging whether its own priority is the highest or not according to the received priority information, and if yes, processing the received instant messaging information; otherwise, do not performing any response to the received instant messaging information. With the method, device and system in accordance with the embodiment of the present document, the privacy of the user's personal information is good and the security is relatively high, and the problem of processing confusion can be avoided.
