Terminal Device Message Restriction via Predefined Word Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In information service systems, users can inadvertently enter and share non-restricted message information, such as advertisements or privacy-invasive content, when attempting to notify others of their absence, leading to privacy concerns and administrative burdens for service providers.
Innovation Solution
A terminal device and method for registering and viewing message information that includes a storage system, display system, and message processor to restrict message content to pre-defined words, convert messages into identification codes, and display them in character mode, ensuring only authorized users can view specific message types, like absence notifications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users are allowed to freely enter message information, then the ease of operation is improved, but harmful factors increase due to unauthorized information sharing and privacy invasion
Solution Approach 1:
The message content is segmented into predefined word categories (greeting words, self-introduction words, guide words, etc.). Users can only select from these categorized words rather than entering free text, which prevents harmful content while maintaining ease of use through structured selection interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-defining and storing appropriate message words and phrases in the server before user interaction. This pre-prepared content library ensures that only authorized and appropriate information can be transmitted, eliminating the need for real-time content validation while preserving user convenience.
2Object-generated harmful factors
If message information is restricted to predefined words, then harmful factors are reduced, but device complexity increases due to word storage and selection systems
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal device incorporates multiple functions within a unified message composition system: the storage system holds predefined words, the display system presents selection options, and the processing system combines selected words into complete messages. This multi-functional integration manages complexity by combining what would otherwise be separate systems into a cohesive message composition apparatus.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary that stores and manages the predefined message word database. Rather than requiring each terminal to maintain complex local storage systems, the server mediates between users and the predefined content library, reducing individual device complexity while maintaining comprehensive word availability.
3Reliability
If all entered information is visually confirmed by service providers, then reliability is improved, but productivity decreases due to administrative burden
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-defining and storing appropriate message words and phrases in the server before user interaction. This pre-prepared content library ensures that only authorized and appropriate information can be transmitted, eliminating the need for real-time content validation while preserving user convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service through automated validation mechanisms. The predefined word categories and selection interface automatically ensure content appropriateness without requiring manual review by service providers. The system validates message content through its structure rather than human inspection, maintaining reliability while eliminating administrative burden.

AI summary
The present invention enables restriction of content of information in a message, which has been prepared by a user and is provided in an information service system for the viewing by a group of users, in accordance with a use purpose. The message information is prepared by selecting and combining words from a word group prepared in advance. The information for viewing is prepared by a game device.
