Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for communicating via online communication software or SNS platforms on mobile devices require running programs or logging into browsers, making the process cumbersome and hindering instant communication, as users cannot receive updates in real time without actively logging in.

Innovation Solution

A method and electronic device that allow users to receive, view, and forward network information updates by subscribing to content updates from a network information platform, saving them in a contact list, and displaying them without the need to log onto the platform, enabling real-time updates and convenient access.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If users log on to SNS communication platforms via mobile communication devices to view update information, then users can view the information content, but the operation becomes fussy and complicated requiring running programs or logging into browsers

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveupdate informationVSAvoidoperation
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the essential function of viewing update information from the complex SNS platform login process. It does this by having the mobile communication device automatically obtain and display update information through background network access without requiring users to run programs or log into browsers, thus separating the information retrieval function from the cumbersome authentication process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The mobile communication device is configured to automatically obtain update information from the SNS platform without user intervention. The device performs automatic authentication and information retrieval in the background, eliminating the need for users to manually log on or interact with the platform interface, thereby making the system serve itself rather than requiring user operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Loss of information

If users actively log on to view update information on SNS platforms, then users can access information content, but real-time feedback is hindered as updates cannot be received instantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveupdate informationVSAvoidreal-time feedback
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements continuous information retrieval by configuring the mobile communication device to automatically and periodically obtain update information from the SNS platform in the background. This continuous automatic access ensures that update information is received in real-time as soon as it is published, eliminating the gaps created by periodic manual logins and maintaining uninterrupted information flow

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The mobile communication device performs preliminary authentication and establishes connection with the SNS platform in advance before information updates occur. By pre-configuring the device to automatically access the platform and retrieve updates without waiting for user initiation, the system prepares the information channel ahead of time, enabling immediate receipt of updates as soon as they are published

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If online communication software or SNS platforms are integrated with mobile communication devices, then communication functionality is enhanced, but device complexity increases requiring installation and management of multiple programs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication functionalityVSAvoidprogram installation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the mobile communication device itself universal by configuring it to directly access and interact with the SNS platform through its built-in network communication capabilities. Instead of requiring separate communication software applications, the device performs multiple functions including authentication, information retrieval, and display through its native operating system and network stack, eliminating the need for additional program installations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A method and electronic device for receiving, viewing, and forwarding information published on the network enables a user to view in real time information update content on a network information platform without having to log on the network information platform. The method of receiving information published on the network includes, according to a previous subscription of a second electronic device, receiving information related to content update sent by a first electronic device and when a network information platform on the first electronic device updates content; saving the information related to content update in a first part of a contact object record that is located in a contact list saved by the second electronic device, and there being saved in a second part of the contact object record contact object information of the contact object record, the network information platform corresponding to the contact object record through the contact object information.
