Terminal Device Message Sending Method
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing terminal devices require multiple steps to send a message, leading to low efficiency in message sending.
Innovation Solution
A message sending method that allows users to send messages by performing a first input on a target icon to display pre-edited messages, and then selecting and sending the message with a second input, reducing the steps required for message sending.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the terminal device follows the conventional message sending process with multiple steps (starting application, entering content, choosing contact, sending), then the message can be sent accurately, but the message sending efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-edits multiple messages in advance and stores them in the system. When a user needs to send a message, they can directly select from the pre-edited messages instead of composing a new message each time. This preliminary preparation of message content significantly reduces the steps required for message sending and improves efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the message selection function with the contact selection function into a single integrated interface. When users select a pre-edited message, the system automatically displays the corresponding contact information, merging multiple operations into one streamlined process and reducing the overall number of steps.
2Loss of time
If the terminal device requires users to enter message content and choose contacts separately through multiple steps, then the message can be sent to the correct contact, but the operation time is excessive
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-edits and stores multiple messages with their corresponding contact information in advance. When sending a message, users only need to select from the pre-edited options rather than manually entering content and selecting contacts step by step. This preliminary preparation dramatically reduces the time required for message sending operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The pre-edited message system serves multiple functions: it stores message content, associates contacts, and provides quick selection all in one structure. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for separate operations of content entry and contact selection, reducing both time and operational complexity.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a message sending method and a terminal device. The method includes: receiving a first input of a user on a target icon, where the target icon is used to indicate a target application; displaying a target interface in response to the first input, where the target interface includes at least one message, and each of the at least one message corresponds to at least one contact; receiving a second input of the user on a first message, where the first message is a message in the at least one message; and sending, in response to the second input via the target application, the first message to at least one first contact corresponding to the first message. The method is applied to a scenario where the terminal device sends messages.
