Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication systems require users to switch between conversation pages when sending messages to multiple communication groups, leading to cumbersome processes and low message sending efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A message synchronization method and apparatus that allows users to send messages to multiple communication groups through a social group channel, eliminating the need to switch between conversation pages by synchronizing messages across associated communication groups.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If users send messages to multiple communication groups by switching between conversation pages, then messages can be delivered to different groups, but the message sending process becomes cumbersome and efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemessage sending efficiencyVSAvoidmessage sending process complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple communication groups into a single social group channel, allowing users to send messages to all associated groups simultaneously through one interface. This combines the functionality of multiple separate conversation pages into one unified channel, eliminating the need to switch between pages while maintaining the ability to deliver messages to different groups.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The social group channel serves as a universal interface that handles message distribution to multiple communication groups simultaneously. A single message sent through the social group channel can be distributed to M different communication groups, making the channel multi-functional and eliminating the need for separate sending operations to each group.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Quantity of substance

If users manually switch between conversation pages to send the same message to different groups, then all groups receive the message, but the operation process becomes time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenumber of groups receiving messageVSAvoidtime spent on message sending

Core Design Contradiction:

Quantity of substanceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-establishing the social group channel that associates M communication groups before the user needs to send messages. This pre-configuration allows immediate message distribution to all groups without requiring users to manually navigate to each group's conversation page, thereby saving time while ensuring all groups receive the message.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

By merging multiple communication groups into one social group channel, the system enables simultaneous message delivery to all M groups through a single sending action. This eliminates the sequential time required to switch between conversation pages and send the same message to each group individually.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Productivity

If a social group channel associates M communication groups for message synchronization, then message sending efficiency improves, but the system structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemessage sending efficiencyVSAvoidsystem structure complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The social group channel acts as an intermediary layer between users and multiple communication groups. Instead of users directly interacting with each group, the social group channel mediates message distribution, managing the associations and synchronization automatically. This intermediary structure simplifies the user interface while handling the complexity of multi-group coordination in the background.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments the complexity by separating the social group channel (which manages associations) from the individual communication groups. The channel layer handles the complex logic of message distribution and synchronization, while each communication group maintains its simple, independent structure. This segmentation allows efficient message sending without requiring complex changes to each individual group's structure.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A message synchronization method includes: displaying a channel conversation page corresponding to a social group channel; the social group channel being a group organization generated by associating M communication groups; M being an integer greater than or equal to 2; displaying, in the channel conversation page in response to a channel message transmission operation triggered in the social group channel, a channel message obtained through the channel message transmission operation; and synchronizing the channel message to the M communication groups.
