Design for Group Messenger Incorporating Concept of "Three Wise Monkeys"

Abstract

In recent years, communication on Social Networking Services (SNS) and messenger applications (messenger apps) have been spreading rapidly. In particular, we casually see group chats with number of users in various situations. In Group chats, people often share content that is not necessarily relevant to all of them, and many users tend to be passive. This is undesirable not only in terms of information gathering and sharing, but also in terms of people’s daily productivity. The historically famous design of the “Three Wise Monkeys” suggests that it is not good to see, hear, or say something unnecessary. In this paper, we propose a system that enhances the convenience for one-to-many conversations (group chats) by restricting information based on the concept of "Three Wise Monkeys.".
