Solution Overview

Problem

Current social networking systems lack effective methods for securely sharing and viewing ideograms, with unauthorized users unable to access restricted content and limited personalization in sentiment and expression-based ideogram suggestions.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a system where ideograms can be restricted by user authorization, with sentiment and expression analysis to suggest ideograms based on user history and social network connections, allowing for secure sharing and personalized content on mobile devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If ideograms are restricted by user authorization, then security and control over content are improved, but device complexity and system requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an authorization server as an intermediary component that manages ideogram access rights. This server acts as a mediator between users and the ideogram library, handling authentication and permission checks. By offloading the complex authorization logic to a dedicated intermediary service, the mobile device itself doesn't need to contain all the complexity, thus resolving the contradiction between improved security and reduced device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system is segmented into multiple independent components: the mobile device with ideogram display capabilities, the authorization server for access control, and the ideogram library. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently - the device remains relatively simple while the authorization server handles the complex security logic, resolving the technical contradiction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If sentiment and expression analysis are implemented, then personalization and user engagement are improved, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovepersonalizationVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs sentiment and expression analysis on captured images in advance, before the user needs to select an ideogram. By conducting this analysis preliminarily and preparing personalized ideogram suggestions ahead of time, the system reduces the processing time required at the moment of user interaction, thus resolving the contradiction between improved personalization and reduced processing time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback from sentiment and expression analysis results to dynamically generate personalized ideogram suggestions. The analysis feedback loop allows the system to adapt to user emotional state and provide relevant ideograms, improving personalization while the feedback mechanism optimizes processing by focusing computational resources on relevant analysis only when needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a client device of an author of a message, a request for a restricted ideogram to be inserted into a message; accessing social-networking information for the author; determining, based on the social-networking information for the author, whether the author is authorized to access the restricted ideogram; accessing social-networking information for a recipient user; determining, based on the social-networking information for the recipient user, whether the recipient user is authorized to access the restricted ideogram; and if the author and the recipient user are authorized to access the restricted ideogram, then sending, to the client device of the author, information to insert the restricted ideogram into the message.
