Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing message handling systems face performance issues due to increased message size caused by formatting, which affects throughput and communication link bandwidth.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for transmitting structured messages with the structure removed, using probability analysis to determine when to send a format template for reconstruction at the recipient, allowing for adaptive and efficient message handling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If structured message formats (e.g., XML) are used for message transmission, then message interpretation flexibility and processing capability are improved, but message size increases, deteriorating throughput and communication link bandwidth
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the message structure/formatting from the message content during transmission. Only the essential content is transmitted, while the structure is removed. The recipient system then reconstructs the appropriate structure using stored templates, thereby reducing transmitted data size while maintaining interpretation flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-storing message structure templates at both the sender and recipient systems. These templates contain the formatting information needed for message interpretation. By preparing these templates in advance, the system eliminates the need to transmit redundant structural information with each message, improving throughput while preserving adaptability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If structured message formats are used for message transmission, then message interpretation flexibility is improved, but communication link bandwidth efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes redundant structural formatting from messages before transmission, keeping only the essential content. The structure is reconstructed at the recipient end using pre-stored templates, thereby conserving bandwidth while maintaining full message processing capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses template copying where the recipient system copies the appropriate structure from pre-stored templates and applies it to the received content. This copying mechanism allows the recipient to reconstruct the full structured message without the sender needing to transmit the structure repeatedly, thus improving bandwidth efficiency while preserving adaptability.
3Productivity
If message structure is removed for transmission, then message size is reduced and throughput is improved, but message reconstruction accuracy may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent ensures reconstruction accuracy through preliminary action by pre-storing and synchronizing message structure templates at both sender and recipient systems. These templates are maintained and updated to reflect the current message format standards, ensuring that when structure is reconstructed from content, the accuracy and reliability are preserved.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the sender transmits structure templates to the recipient when format changes occur or when templates need updating. This feedback loop ensures that the recipient's templates remain synchronized with the sender's message formats, maintaining high reconstruction accuracy while benefiting from reduced message sizes.
Data Source
AI summary
A method and system for message handling wherein a structured message is transmitted as a reduced message with the structure removed. The method includes: monitoring messages to be transmitted, the step of monitoring comprising: for each message, identifying one or more elements within the message and identifying the format of content and/or structure encapsulated by those elements; determining the probability that a message will conform to a previously identified format; and using the determined probability to decide when to transmit a format template for the message, wherein the format template is for use by a destination to add the structure removed by a message source back into the message.
