Mobile Terminal Message Editing Window Dragging Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face cumbersome operations and reduced communication efficiency when switching between multiple chat windows to send messages, affecting their chat experience.
Innovation Solution
A method where users can trigger a message editing window on any interface, write the message, and then drag it to the target sending window for delivery, eliminating the need to repeatedly open and close chat windows.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users open multiple chat windows to message different contacts simultaneously, then communication coverage is improved, but user operation complexity increases due to repeated opening and closing actions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the message sending function from the chat window. A standalone message editing window is created that can be independently opened, edited, and dragged to any chat window. This separates the message composition task from the chat interface, allowing users to edit messages once and apply them to multiple contacts without repeatedly opening chat windows.
Solution Approach 2:
The message editing window serves as an intermediary between the user and multiple chat windows. Instead of directly interacting with each chat window separately, the user interacts with the single message editing window, then drags it to the target chat window. This intermediary component consolidates multiple operations into a single workflow.
2Productivity
If users repeatedly open and close chat windows to switch between contacts, then message sending capability is maintained, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The message editing window is opened in advance on the current interface, allowing users to compose and edit messages before sending. This preliminary action of opening the editing window once and preparing the message content eliminates the need to repeatedly open chat windows during the messaging process, significantly reducing time consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic window dragging functionality where the message editing window can be freely moved and dragged to any target chat window. This dynamic interaction allows flexible message delivery to different contacts without the rigid sequence of opening, switching, and closing chat windows, thereby reducing operational time.
3Productivity
If users open multiple chat windows to contact multiple persons, then communication efficiency is improved, but device interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The message editing window is designed as a universal component that can serve multiple chat windows and contacts. Instead of having separate message input interfaces in each chat window, this single multi-functional editing window can be dragged to any chat window, reducing the overall interface complexity while maintaining the ability to communicate with multiple persons efficiently.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a message sending method and a mobile terminal. The message sending method includes: receiving a first input from a user; obtaining, in response to the first input, a target message written by the user in a message editing window; receiving a second input from the user; identifying, in response to the second input, a target sending window at which the user controls the message editing window to arrive; and sending the target message to the target sending window. The message sending method in the embodiments of the present disclosure is applied to a mobile terminal.
