Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
General social networking services require users to access a server to post or read information, making immediate sharing difficult, and involve cumbersome procedures like joining, logging in, and authentication, limiting user autonomy and flexibility.
Innovation Solution
A virtual space providing system that monitors application execution on user terminals, allows users to specify individual steps, and generates a virtual space for sharing or personal use without needing additional websites, enabling real-time communication and information sharing through a server-based space generator and specifier.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users access a server through general social networking services to post or read information, then information sharing capability is provided, but immediate sharing is difficult and cumbersome procedures (joining, logging in, authentication) are required
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing virtual spaces and pre-authenticating users through the application execution environment. The virtual space is created in advance for specific application steps, and user identity is recognized through the application's authentication mechanism rather than requiring separate service authentication. This eliminates the need for users to perform joining, logging in, and authentication procedures at the moment of information sharing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a virtual space as an intermediary between users and the server. Instead of users directly accessing the server through traditional social networking services, the virtual space acts as a mediator that enables information sharing. The virtual space is generated based on individual steps of application execution and provides a decentralized sharing mechanism that bypasses the need for continuous server access and authentication.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users must access additional websites for information sharing services, then comprehensive sharing functionality is provided, but user autonomy and flexibility are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the information sharing functionality directly into the application execution environment by generating virtual spaces within the application itself. Instead of requiring users to access separate websites or services, the virtual space is integrated into the application's operational context. This combination allows users to share information autonomously within the application without being subordinate to external service administrators.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by allowing users to automatically generate and access virtual spaces based on their application execution state. The monitor detects application steps, the specifier specifies individual steps, and the space generator creates virtual spaces automatically without requiring user intervention to access external services. Users can share information immediately within the application context, exercising full autonomy without being constrained by external service providers.
3Productivity
If a virtual space is generated for each individual step of application execution, then immediate information sharing is enabled, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the application execution process into individual steps that can be monitored and specified separately. The monitor divides application execution into discrete steps, and the specifier identifies individual steps within the application flow. This segmentation allows the system to generate virtual spaces for specific steps rather than managing the entire application execution, reducing the complexity of space management while enabling immediate information sharing at relevant points.
Solution Approach 2:
The virtual space generator is designed with multi-functionality to handle various application types and execution steps through a unified mechanism. Rather than creating separate complex systems for different applications, the space generator can universally create virtual spaces for any application step that meets the specified criteria. This universal approach simplifies the overall system architecture by providing a single entry point for virtual space generation across diverse applications.
