Wireless Device Automatic Communication List Generation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
User-to-user chat communication systems require users to manually find and add devices for instant messaging, which is time-consuming and inefficient, especially in specific areas or networks.
Innovation Solution
A wireless communication device automatically creates a list of available devices within a network, sends this list to a remote server, and enables instant messaging without additional registration or setup, using protocols like XMPP and mDNS/DNS-SD to discover and filter devices, allowing for automatic configuration and group chat functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If users manually find and add devices for instant messaging, then communication can be established, but the process is time-consuming and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic device discovery and communication list generation without requiring user intervention. The wireless communication device automatically scans the network, identifies other devices, and compiles a communication list, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring manual user configuration
Solution Approach 2:
The device automatically discovers and compiles the communication list in advance before any messaging occurs. By performing the device discovery and list compilation actions beforehand, the system eliminates the time-consuming manual setup process that would otherwise be required before communication can begin
2Ease of operation
If automatic device discovery is implemented, then setup time is reduced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs standardized communication protocols (XMPP, mDNS/DNS-SD) as intermediaries to facilitate automatic device discovery. These protocols act as mediators that enable devices to automatically find each other without requiring complex custom implementation, thus reducing setup ease while limiting the increase in device complexity through the use of established standards

AI summary
A wireless communication device is configured to communicate with at least one other electronic user communication device that is connected to communicate on an electronic communication network. The user's device automatically creates a communication list comprising the at least one other electronic user communication device on the network, and the user communication device sends the communication list to a remote server device. So configured, the user communication device can automatically create a communication list of devices with which the user can use instant messaging or chat-like communications, without having to separately discover, search, or otherwise locate such devices and add them as friends or buddies or approved communication devices to a communication list. Accordingly, the electronic user communication device will provide to a user a communication list without additional registration or other set-up procedures.
