Solution Overview

Problem

The efficiency of creating tasks in instant messaging tools is low due to the manual filling of task titles after converting session content to tasks, which increases user workload.

Innovation Solution

Automatically determine the title name of a task based on the file name of a single file message or session object, and fill it in the task's title region, while displaying a link to the session interface in the note content region.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If users manually fill in task titles after converting session content, then task creation can be completed, but the efficiency of creating tasks is low and it is time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask creation efficiencyVSAvoidtime for manual title filling
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by automatically extracting and filling the task title from the file name before the user completes task creation. When a user selects a file to convert into a task, the system proactively generates the title based on the file name, so that when the user confirms the task creation, the title field is already populated, eliminating the need for manual title input and significantly improving task creation efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies self-service by enabling the task title to automatically populate itself from the file name without requiring user intervention. The title field serves itself by extracting relevant information from the associated file name, allowing the task creation process to proceed without manual title filling, thus reducing time loss and improving productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If users manually fill in task titles, then task creation is possible, but the user workload is high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser workload in task creationVSAvoidtask creation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The title field performs self-service by automatically extracting and filling the task title from the file name. This eliminates the need for users to manually type or edit the title, significantly reducing user workload and making the task creation process easier while simultaneously improving efficiency through automation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If the system automatically determines task titles from file names, then user workload is reduced and efficiency increases, but additional processing steps are required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask creation efficiencyVSAvoidprocessing complexity for title generation
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies extraction by taking out the title information directly from the file name that the user has already provided. Instead of requiring separate title input, the system extracts the necessary title data from the existing file name field, simplifying the processing complexity while improving efficiency through intelligent data reutilization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A method, apparatus, electronic device and computer-readable storage medium for task creation. The method includes: in response to a triggering operation of creating a first task for a single file message in a session, determining a first title name of the first task based on a file name of a file corresponding to the single file message; and creating the first task and filling the determined first title name in a title region of the first task.
