User Management Server Friend Registration Logic
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing user management systems require users to perform multiple operations to register friends for different levels of name disclosure, making it a time-consuming process.
Innovation Solution
A user management server and terminal system that allows users to register friends with different levels of name disclosure through a streamlined process, enabling users to designate friends for nickname-only, real-name, or both disclosures with a single operation, and display lists including real names of users in the second relation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users register friends for different levels of name disclosure through separate operations, then the system maintains precise control over information disclosure, but the user management process becomes time-consuming and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple registration operations into a single integrated process. The server integrates the friend registration and disclosure level selection into one unified operation, allowing users to complete both tasks simultaneously rather than performing separate operations for each friend and each disclosure level.
Solution Approach 2:
The server implements a universal registration interface that handles multiple disclosure scenarios (nickname-only, real-name, or both) through a single standardized process. This multi-functional approach allows the same interface to accommodate different disclosure requirements without requiring separate specialized operations.
2Reliability
If users perform multiple operations to register friends with different disclosure levels, then the system ensures accurate tracking of relationship types, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the relationship type specification and friend registration into a single operation. The server processes both the friend addition and the disclosure level assignment in one transaction, eliminating the need for users to perform separate operations to track relationship types accurately.
Solution Approach 2:
The server performs preliminary classification of the disclosure level during the initial friend registration operation. By determining and recording the relationship type at the moment of registration, the system ensures accurate tracking from the outset without requiring subsequent separate operations to specify or update the relationship category.
3Manufacturing precision
If the system requires separate registration operations for different disclosure levels, then the information management precision is maintained, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The server implements a universal registration mechanism that consolidates multiple disclosure level handlers into a single standardized process. This approach maintains precise information management by correctly categorizing each friend relationship while avoiding the complexity of multiple separate registration systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple disclosure management functions into a unified server process. By integrating the classification logic and registration operations into a single streamlined workflow, the system maintains information precision without increasing operational complexity.
Data Source
AI summary
A user management server, a terminal, an information display system, a user management method, an information display method, a program, and an information storage medium are provided to enable a user to have less trouble than with existing techniques in registering users disclosing their real names. In response to a first operation to designate a user, a friend management data registration part registers the user as a user in a first relation involving disclosure of a nickname. In response to a second operation to designate a user already registered as a user in the first relation, the friend management data registration part registers the user as a user in a second relation involving disclosure of a real name as well. In response to a third operation to designate a user not registered as a user in the first relation, the friend management data registration part registers the user as a user in the first and the second relations.
