Solution Overview

Problem

Existing chat services lack the ability to provide customizable and dynamic reaction sets for users entering different chat rooms, leading to a limited user experience in expressing emotions and responses.

Innovation Solution

A method where a server generates and provides custom reaction sets to terminals based on reaction custom information received from administrators, allowing for distinct combinations of reaction information items for each chat room, and offering default reaction sets when no custom information is provided.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a server provides a fixed default reaction set to all chat rooms, then system complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but adaptability and user personalization are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidadaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The reaction set is made dynamic by allowing it to change based on the chat room context. The server determines whether to provide a default reaction set or a custom reaction set depending on whether the chat room has administrator-defined custom reactions, enabling the system to adapt between static and dynamic states.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

Different chat rooms can have different reaction set qualities. Some chat rooms receive the standardized default reaction set while others receive customized reaction sets tailored to their specific needs, allowing local optimization without affecting the entire system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Adaptability or versatility

If a server allows administrators to customize reaction sets for each chat room, then adaptability and user experience are improved, but device complexity and system complexity are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Administrators of chat rooms can independently configure custom reaction sets for their own chat rooms by providing reaction custom information to the server. This self-service approach allows customization without requiring complex system-wide configuration management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Administrators pre-configure custom reaction sets in advance for their chat rooms. The server stores these custom reaction sets and automatically provides them to users when they enter the corresponding chat rooms, eliminating the need for real-time configuration during user interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If a server provides comprehensive reaction sets with all possible reaction information items, then adaptability is improved, but information overload and difficulty in selecting appropriate reactions are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the necessary reaction information items from the complete set of possible reactions. The server filters and provides a subset of reactions that are relevant to each specific chat room context, whether from custom reaction sets or default reaction sets, preventing information overload.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

Proposed is a method for providing a reaction set for content by a server. The method may include receiving first reaction custom information for a first chat room from a first terminal, and generating a first reaction set including at least one reaction information item selected based on the first reaction custom information. The method may also include in response to a second terminal entering the first chat room, providing the second terminal with at least one first content posted in the first chat room and a first reaction set corresponding to each of the at least one first content. The method may further include receiving selection information on a reaction information item included in the first reaction set from the second terminal.
