Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for transmitting text messages with large content face limitations, such as file size and number constraints, requiring users to upload data to cloud storage and then send multimedia messages, which can result in reduced quality or require recipients to access servers to verify attachments.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that allows for the transmission of text messages by uploading large content to cloud storage during the text creation process, using URL information and thumbnails, enabling high-quality content sharing without size or quantity restrictions, and providing a download function for recipients to access the content directly from a content viewer page.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If users upload large content to cloud storage and transmit as multimedia messages, then content can be shared, but file size and number constraints limit the capacity and quality of attached files

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent capacityVSAvoidfile quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the content transmission process into two parts: (1) uploading large content to cloud storage separately, and (2) transmitting only metadata (URL, thumbnail) via text message. This segmentation allows unlimited content capacity while maintaining original quality, as the actual large files are stored externally and accessed through the transmitted metadata.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces cloud storage as an intermediary between the sender and recipient. The cloud storage server acts as a mediator that receives large content from the sender and provides it to the recipient through URL links, eliminating direct file attachment constraints and enabling high-quality content transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If users upload content to cloud storage and create text messages with URL information, then content can be transmitted without size restrictions, but recipients must access servers to verify and download content

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent transmission flexibilityVSAvoidcontent access convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by enabling recipients to directly download content from cloud storage URLs without requiring server access or complex verification processes. The content viewer page provides automatic content retrieval and download functionality, making the system user-friendly and eliminating technical barriers for recipients.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If the system provides download function for content, then recipients can access content directly, but additional processing and storage requirements increase system complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent access easeVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the cloud storage system universal by providing multiple functions through a single platform: content storage, URL generation, content viewing, and direct downloading. This multi-functionality reduces overall system complexity by consolidating what would otherwise require separate systems into one integrated solution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Provided is a method including providing a text creation interface in response to an execution of a text application; receiving an input signal for selecting content during a text creation process using the text creation interface; uploading the selected content to a cloud storage; and transmitting a text message including route information about a route accessible to the uploaded content to a counter party terminal. If a file capacity of the selected content is greater than or equal to a reference capacity, the selected content is uploaded to the cloud storage in response to a user request and the route information is automatically created and included in the text message.
