Solution Overview

Problem

Users of communication clients face difficulty in efficiently managing and accessing tagged sessions and favorite messages across different interfaces, leading to inconvenience and disruption of usage habits.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that tags sessions and messages on a unified interface, allowing users to view all followed sessions and messages without navigating through separate entrances, and includes features like flags and tags to distinguish and manage tagged content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users view tagged sessions and favorite messages through separate interfaces, then the system maintains clear functional separation, but users face difficulty in efficiently accessing and managing content across multiple interfaces

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of access to tagged contentVSAvoidnumber of separate interfaces
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the tagged sessions view and favorite messages view into a single unified interface. This unified interface displays both types of content together, allowing users to access and manage both tagged sessions and favorite messages without navigating through separate interfaces, thereby improving ease of operation while reducing interface complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The unified interface is designed to serve multiple functions simultaneously: it displays tagged sessions, displays favorite messages, and provides management capabilities for both types of content. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate dedicated interfaces while maintaining clear functionality for each content type

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

2Ease of operation

If the system provides separate entrances for tagged sessions and favorite messages, then each function has dedicated access, but users experience inconvenience and disruption of usage habits

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconvenience of usageVSAvoidnumber of interface entrances
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple interface entrances into a single unified entrance that provides access to both tagged sessions and favorite messages. This reduces the number of interface entrances from multiple separate ones to a single consolidated entrance, improving user convenience while maintaining clear functional separation through unified display and management mechanisms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Ease of manufacture

If users manage tagged sessions and favorite messages in different locations, then each content type has dedicated management, but the difficulty of maintenance increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of maintenanceVSAvoiddistribution of content across interfaces
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the management functions for tagged sessions and favorite messages into a single unified management interface. This allows users to manage both types of content from one location rather than navigating between different interfaces, significantly improving ease of maintenance while maintaining clear functional separation through organized display and interaction mechanisms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

The present disclosure provides an information processing method and apparatus, an electronic device and a storage medium. The information processing method includes: tagging a first session, in response to a first operation event for the first session; or, tagging a first message, in response to a second operation event for the first message on a session interface; and displaying a first interface, in response to a third operation event for an interface entrance of the first interface; and displaying the first session, which is tagged, and the first message, which is tagged, on the first interface.
