Solution Overview

Problem

Existing network communication tools limit the propagation of public messages from official accounts to ordinary user accounts, as users can only share messages by logging into specific pages, restricting the wide dissemination of information.

Innovation Solution

An information processing method where a server transmits public messages carrying first and second information, allowing only the first client to access the first information and clients in a sharing relationship to access the second information, enabling sharing and propagation across multiple clients.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If users are required to log in to public message pages to receive or obtain related information, then information security and access control are improved, but the propagation speed and wide dissemination of information are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation access controlVSAvoidinformation propagation speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments information into two types: first information that only the first client can access, and second information that can be accessed by clients in a sharing relationship. This segmentation allows different access rights for different information, enabling wide propagation of second information while maintaining control over first information, thus resolving the contradiction between access control and propagation speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a sharing relationship mechanism as an intermediary. The server verifies whether the second client is in a sharing relationship with the first client before allowing access to second information. This intermediary mechanism enables controlled propagation without requiring users to log in to public message pages, thus improving propagation speed while maintaining access control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If only public message pages can be shared and users must log in to receive information, then information security is improved, but the quantity of clients that can access the information is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation securityVSAvoidnumber of accessing clients
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes second information universally accessible to all clients in a sharing relationship with the first client, rather than limiting access to only the public message page. This multi-functional approach allows the same second information to be accessed by multiple clients through different entry points (direct sharing or public message page), thus increasing the number of accessing clients while maintaining security through sharing relationship verification.

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

3Reliability

If users share public message pages instead of information content, then information access control is improved, but the ease of operation and user convenience are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation access controlVSAvoidsharing operation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the core second information content from the public message page and allows direct sharing of this extracted information. Instead of requiring users to share the entire public message page, the system extracts and shares only the relevant second information, making the sharing operation more convenient while maintaining access control through sharing relationship verification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

An information processing method, which is applied to a server, includes: a public message is transmitted to a first client, the public message being a message issued to the first client by the server, the public message carrying first information and a second information set including N pieces of second information, with N being a positive integer, the first information is information only allowed to be gotten by the first client and the second information is information only allowed to be gotten by a client in a sharing relationship with the first client; and a request for getting the second information is received from a second client, it is verified whether the second client is in the sharing relationship with the first client, and after the second client is determined to be in the sharing relationship with the first client, the second client is allowed to get the second information.
