Solution Overview

Problem

Existing messaging systems often send redundant information to wide audiences, leading to network traffic burdens and poor targeting of consumers, which wastes network resources and annoys users.

Innovation Solution

A message generating system that segments user interactions into stages (awareness, consideration, decision, and conversion) to personalize messaging, refining recipient lists based on user interactions and reducing network traffic by selectively sending targeted information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If messaging systems send promotional information to wide audiences, then coverage and reach are improved, but network traffic increases and data resources are consumed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaudience coverageVSAvoidnetwork traffic
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the audience into multiple categories based on interaction levels (e.g., engaged vs. disengaged users). By dividing the wide audience into segments with different messaging needs, the system can send targeted information only to relevant segments, reducing overall network traffic while maintaining effective coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by customizing messaging content and delivery frequency for different audience segments. Instead of uniform messaging to all users, the system tailors message characteristics to local segment needs, optimizing network resource usage while maintaining broad coverage effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Loss of information

If messaging systems send promotional information to wide audiences, then awareness is improved, but message redundancy increases and user satisfaction decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation reachVSAvoidmessage redundancy
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments users based on their interaction history and engagement levels. By creating distinct segments (e.g., high-engagement vs. low-engagement users), the system can avoid sending redundant messages to users who have already shown interest or purchased, thereby reducing message redundancy while maintaining broad information reach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms that monitor user interactions and adjust messaging strategies accordingly. When users engage with content or make purchases, the system uses this feedback to modify future messaging, preventing redundant communications while ensuring information reaches appropriate audiences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Loss of energy

If messaging systems use staged content delivery, then network traffic is reduced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork trafficVSAvoidmessaging system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements staged content delivery by segmenting the messaging process into distinct stages (e.g., awareness, consideration, conversion). Each stage has specific messaging objectives and target segments, which simplifies the overall system architecture by breaking down complex messaging into manageable phases rather than requiring a single complex decision-making system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining messaging stages, criteria, and strategies before execution. By establishing the staged framework in advance with clear segmentation rules, the system reduces operational complexity during message delivery, as decisions are based on pre-established guidelines rather than real-time complex calculations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A message generating system disseminates to each of multiple user devices first information items each associated with at least a respective one of multiple services made available by a first entity. When access indicative signals are received via a network connection, each prompted by a respective one of the user devices accessing at least one of the first information items, the system stores a respective awareness-stage record for each received access indicative signal, thereby recording that the respective user entity accessed at least one of the first information items. For each user entity for which a respective awareness-stage record is stored, a second item is generated and sent including information of a particular service associated with at least one first information item. User entities for which a second item was not generated are excluded as having not accessed a first item. The exclusion reduces data traffic on the network connection.
