Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional methods for providing ticket information via online group-shopping platforms often rely on text message notifications, which lack visual engagement and require users to manually search for additional details, leading to a suboptimal user experience.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that receive notifications, determine if they include ticket information, and provide this information in a multimedia message format, incorporating visual elements like posters and additional details upon user interaction, utilizing a processor and memory to identify e-commerce platforms and update templates for improved accuracy and user experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If text message notification is used to provide ticket information, then the implementation is simple and cost-effective, but the visual engagement is poor and user experience is suboptimal

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation simplicityVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the notification format from plain text to rich multimedia format by changing parameters such as adding image fields, hyperlink fields, and structured data fields. This allows the notification to include movie posters, direct booking links, and detailed ticket information, significantly improving visual engagement and user experience while maintaining implementation feasibility through standardized message templates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds visual dimensions to the notification by incorporating image attachments (movie posters) and structured data fields alongside the traditional text content. This multi-dimensional approach transforms a one-dimensional text message into a rich multimedia notification that provides both visual appeal and functional information, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and user experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Device complexity

If text message notification is used to provide ticket information, then the system complexity is low, but additional manual searching is required and information completeness is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidinformation completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-structuring the notification content to include all essential ticket information (movie title, time, venue, seat number), movie posters, and direct booking hyperlinks before the user receives the message. This eliminates the need for users to manually search for additional details, as all necessary information is provided upfront in an organized, easily accessible format.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The notification message serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides visual identification through movie posters, delivers complete ticket details in structured fields, offers direct booking capability through hyperlinks, and maintains system simplicity through standardized templates. This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction between low system complexity and information completeness.

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

3Speed

If conventional text form notification is used, then the processing speed is fast, but the visual engagement and user interaction are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoiduser engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enhances processing speed while improving engagement by optimizing the multimedia message parameters for efficient transmission and rendering. The structured data fields and image attachments are processed and displayed simultaneously, allowing fast delivery of comprehensive information that engages users visually without sacrificing processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
