Terminal Content Grouping by Recipient Information
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing terminal-to-terminal content transmission methods are inconvenient for recipients, as they lack organization and make it difficult for users to easily identify and save received contents, leading to difficulties in managing shared content.
Innovation Solution
A terminal and controlling method that sorts received contents based on user information, allowing users to classify and prioritize content groups according to recipient preferences, enabling easy checking and saving of desired content, and providing an intuitive sharing interface for edited content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If contents are transmitted in transmission order or sender-selected order, then the transmission process is simple, but the receiving user has difficulty checking and saving desired content efficiently
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments received contents into multiple groups based on recipient information (e.g., contacts, message threads). Each group represents a specific recipient or conversation context, allowing users to easily locate and manage contents by selecting the relevant group rather than searching through all received contents in transmission order.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new organizational dimension (recipient information) beyond the traditional transmission order (time sequence). By classifying contents along the recipient dimension, users can efficiently access and manage contents related to specific people or conversations, transforming the flat chronological list into a multi-dimensional organized structure.
2Loss of information
If various contents are shared without organization, then content sharing is flexible, but users have difficulty memorizing what content was transmitted to whom
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary classification of contents by recipient information at the moment of reception. By pre-organizing contents into recipient-based groups when they are first received, the system eliminates the need for users to manually track and remember which contents were sent to whom later, as the organization is already in place.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent provides visual feedback through the grouped display structure, where users can see which contents belong to which recipient groups. This feedback mechanism helps users mentally map contents to specific recipients, improving memory retention and reducing confusion about content transmission history.
3Productivity
If all received contents are displayed without classification, then no information is lost, but users cannot easily identify and save desired content
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display of received contents into multiple recipient-based groups. This segmentation allows users to quickly scan and identify desired content within relevant groups rather than searching through an unclassified list, significantly improving content processing efficiency while maintaining access to all received contents.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by displaying different organizational characteristics in different parts of the interface. Each recipient group has its own organized structure, allowing users to efficiently access content related to specific recipients while the overall system maintains comprehensive content accessibility across all groups.

AI summary
A terminal and operating method thereof includes receiving a plurality of contents, classifying the plurality of received contents into a plurality of groups based on recipient information of a recipient corresponding to a user of the terminal, and outputting the plurality of contents classified into the plurality of groups in order corresponding to the recipient information. A thumbnail image represents each of the plurality of groups. The thumbnail image is displayed in accordance with the recipient information, such as a thumbnail image of a group considered to be more of interest to a user displayed in a larger size.
