Solution Overview

Problem

Users face inconvenience when trying to find and access documents, images, or videos sent during communication, as they need to navigate through cumbersome chat records, especially for frequently accessed content.

Innovation Solution

An interaction method and device that allows users to add and access objects, such as documents or files, directly within a session interface, enabling quick access without relying on chat records through object adding and folder labeling operations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If users search for shared content through chat records, then the system maintains simple structure, but user access efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser access efficiencyVSAvoidsystem structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the chat record into two independent parts: the conversation content remains in the chat record, while shared objects are extracted and stored separately in an object folder. This segmentation allows users to access objects directly from the object folder without searching through chat records, improving access efficiency while maintaining the simplicity of the chat interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts shared objects from the chat record context and stores them in a dedicated object folder. This extraction separates the object storage function from the chat communication function, enabling users to access objects independently of the chat record structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Loss of time

If users navigate through chat records to find content, then the system maintains simple operation, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetime to access contentVSAvoidoperation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by automatically storing shared objects in the object folder when they are sent during communication. This pre-organization of objects in a dedicated folder structure eliminates the need for users to search through chat records later, significantly reducing access time while maintaining simple operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If shared objects are stored in chat records, then the system maintains simple structure, but object accessibility deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveobject accessibilityVSAvoidstorage structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal object folder structure that serves multiple functions: storing shared objects, organizing them by conversation, and providing direct access points. This multi-functional structure improves object accessibility while adding minimal complexity, as the same folder mechanism handles both storage and retrieval operations.

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

AI summary

The embodiment of the invention discloses an interaction method, device and equipment, and a storage medium. A first user triggers an object adding operation aiming at a first object in a session interface for performing a conversation with one or more second users, then a client adds the first object in the session interface according to the object adding operation, the first object can be accessed by one or more second users, that is to say, after the first object is added in the session interface, the first user or the second user can directly and quickly access the first object on the session interface, the first object can be found without a chat record, and convenience is brought to the users.
