Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current chat software is limited to single-screen operation, making it difficult for users to access and utilize information related to chat buddies, leading to awkward conversations and premature ends in chats due to the lack of relevant topics.
Innovation Solution
A method and terminal with at least two screens that obtain and display user profile information of both the local user and their peer, including personal and shared interest information, to facilitate smoother and more pleasant conversations by providing relevant chat topics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If single-screen operation is used for chat software, then the interface is simple and easy to operate, but the user cannot access buddy information during chat
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from single-screen to multi-screen display, adding a spatial dimension to information presentation. The first screen displays the chat interface while the second screen simultaneously displays buddy profile information, allowing users to access buddy information during chat without switching screens or complicating the chat interface.
2Loss of information
If manual profile viewing is required to obtain buddy information, then information completeness is maintained, but chat flow is interrupted and efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-loads and displays buddy profile information on the second screen before the user actually needs it during the chat. This preliminary preparation of information allows users to immediately access buddy details without interrupting the chat flow to manually navigate to profile pages, thereby maintaining information completeness while preserving chat efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The second screen acts as an intermediary that bridges the chat interface and buddy profile information. Instead of requiring users to switch between chat and profile views, the intermediary second screen simultaneously presents both the chat content and buddy information, eliminating the need to manually view profiles while maintaining access to complete buddy details.
3Ease of operation
If only chat dialog is displayed on mobile phone screen, then the display is focused and simple, but relevant information is not readily available
Solution Approach 1:
The display functionality is segmented into two independent screens: the first screen is dedicated to the chat dialog with full focus and simplicity, while the second screen is dedicated to displaying buddy profile information. This segmentation allows each screen to optimize for its specific purpose - the chat screen remains focused and simple while the buddy information becomes readily available on the second screen without cluttering the chat interface.
