INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17985362 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that transmits messages to an information-sharing service in a thread format. When a user replies to messages on the thread, the apparatus obtains information on multiple threads for the destination group of the reply message from the information-sharing service. It then extracts the relevant threads in which the user is participating and displays them as the destination for the reply message.

  • The information processing apparatus stores instructions and executes them using at least one processor.
  • It obtains information on multiple threads for the destination group of a reply message from the information-sharing service.
  • It extracts the relevant threads in which the user is participating.
  • It displays these threads as the destination for the reply message.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied to messaging platforms or social media platforms that use thread formats for organizing conversations.
  • It can enhance the user experience by providing a more streamlined and organized way to reply to messages within a thread.

Problems Solved

  • The technology solves the problem of having to manually search for and select the relevant threads when replying to messages in a thread format.
  • It eliminates the need for users to navigate through multiple threads to find the appropriate destination for their reply.

Benefits

  • Users can save time and effort by automatically obtaining and displaying the relevant threads for their reply messages.
  • The technology improves the efficiency and convenience of participating in threaded conversations.
  • It enhances the overall user experience by simplifying the process of replying to messages in a thread format.


Original Abstract Submitted

According to an aspect of the present disclosure, an information processing apparatus transmitting a message to an information-sharing service managing messages on a thread format including a plurality of messages, the information processing apparatus comprising at least one memory that stores instructions, and at least one processor that executes the instructions to obtain, in a case where a user transmits a first message as a reply to the messages on the thread format, information on a plurality of threads for a first destination group of the first message from the information-sharing service, extract first threads for the destination group from the information on the plurality of threads, the user participating in the first threads, and display the first threads as a first destination of the first message.
