Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication systems lack efficient management of inquiry messages based on monitored information such as presence, scheduling, and biometric data to determine appropriate delivery times and formats, leading to suboptimal user experience.

Innovation Solution

Implementing communications management agents that analyze inquiry commands using monitored behavior information, including biometric data, to determine urgency levels, importance ratings, and message formats for optimal delivery.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If inquiry messages are delivered immediately without analyzing behavior information, then response time is reduced, but message delivery efficiency and appropriateness deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse timeVSAvoidmessage delivery efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of behavior information (presence data, scheduling data, biometric data) before delivering the inquiry message. This preliminary action enables the system to determine the optimal delivery time and format based on user state, thereby improving message delivery efficiency while maintaining appropriate response time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts message delivery parameters (timing, format, channel) based on real-time analysis of user behavior and state. This dynamic approach allows the system to optimize both response time and delivery efficiency by adapting to changing user conditions rather than using fixed delivery protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If comprehensive behavior information is collected and analyzed, then message delivery appropriateness is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage delivery appropriatenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces a communications management agent as an intermediary component that handles the complexity of behavior information collection, analysis, and message delivery optimization. This agent operates between the communication device and the user, managing the complex processing of multiple data types (presence, scheduling, biometric) without exposing the complexity to the end user or requiring manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The communications management agent autonomously performs behavior analysis and delivers messages without requiring user involvement in the complex processing tasks. The system self-manages the collection, analysis, and delivery optimization processes, thereby improving message appropriateness while containing system complexity within the automated agent rather than requiring user awareness or manual configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple communication devices are supported without unified management, then device versatility is improved, but inquiry management consistency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice compatibilityVSAvoidinquiry management consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The communications management agent is designed as a universal system that can manage inquiries across multiple types of communication devices (mobile phones, landlines, computers, tablets) through a single unified platform. This multi-functional agent maintains consistent inquiry management practices across all device types while adapting to their specific capabilities, thereby achieving both versatility and consistency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a processing system that analyses, without user intervention, content of a first message directed from equipment of a sending user to equipment of a receiving user, to identify a task. The processing system determines that the receiving user is unable to perform the task according to biometric data of the receiving user. The biometric data is selected from one of heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and combinations thereof. According to the content of the first message and the biometric data obtained from the receiving user, the processing system determines that the task should be delegated to another user, and responsive thereto, provides a second message associated with the task to equipment of the other user. Other embodiments are disclosed.
