Solution Overview

Problem

Existing notification methods are inefficient as they require multiple receptions of information to convey a complete matter, leading to poor notification efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for subject matter message notification that involves displaying an editing interface to select and combine content, targeting specific users, and sending a unified message to a server for instant delivery, allowing rich media content to be notified efficiently.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If information is sent through multiple separate messages in instant messaging manner, then the notifying party can send content flexibly, but the notification efficiency deteriorates because the notified party needs to receive information many times to obtain complete matter

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent sending flexibilityVSAvoidnotification efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple separate information messages into a single structured matter message that contains both the main content and related information. This combining approach allows the notified party to receive complete matter information in one message, improving notification efficiency while maintaining content flexibility through the structured format that can accommodate various types of content (text, files, images, videos).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of operation

If multiple separate messages are used to convey complete matter, then content can be transmitted incrementally, but the notification process becomes time-consuming and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent transmission methodVSAvoidnotification time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-structuring the matter message with a standardized format that includes matter identification information, main content, and related information sections. This pre-prepared structured format enables the system to quickly assemble and transmit complete matter information without requiring multiple sequential messages, thereby reducing notification time while maintaining ease of content transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Loss of information

If detailed matter information is sent through multiple messages, then completeness of information can be ensured, but the complexity of the notification process increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidnotification process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the matter message into distinct structured sections: matter identification information, main content, and related information. This segmentation ensures that all necessary information components are included while simplifying the notification process through a standardized template that guides both the notifying and notified parties on what information to provide and how to process it, reducing overall process complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The present disclosure discloses a subject matter message notification method performed at a terminal and to be disseminated to one or more target users. The method includes: displaying a subject matter editing interface, the subject matter editing interface including an editing item used for editing subject matter content, an editing item used for adding a target user, and an editing item used for adding a file; generating a subject matter message in accordance with user-provided subject matter content through the editing item used for editing subject matter content, one or more user-selected target users through the editing item used for adding a target user, and one or more user-selected files through the editing item used for adding a file; and sending the subject matter message to a server, wherein the server is configured to send the subject matter message to the one or more user-selected target users.
