Broadcasting Channel Selection for Connected Object Information
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication methods for connected objects, such as home automation systems, often fail to deliver information to users in a timely and relevant manner, as notifications are not personalized or intrusive, leading to missed or obsolete information.
Innovation Solution
A method that selects and integrates information from connected objects into actively used broadcasting channels, such as radio or TV signals, based on user behavior and preferences, ensuring the information is pertinent and unobtrusive, and can be broadcast at optimal times.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If information is sent via traditional communication channels like SMS or email, then the user receives notifications, but the information is often missed or treated as background noise because it is not personalized or intrusive
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of user behavior and channel usage patterns before sending information. By predicting which broadcasting channels the user will be actively using at specific times, the system prepares and delivers information proactively rather than reactively, ensuring timely delivery when the user is most likely to notice and engage with it.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adapts information delivery by continuously monitoring user behavior and adjusting which broadcasting channels are selected for information integration. Instead of using fixed communication channels, the system flexibly chooses channels based on real-time or predicted user activity, making the information delivery adaptive and responsive to user preferences.
2Loss of information
If information is broadcast over multiple channels, then the likelihood of user notice increases, but the system complexity and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of uniformly broadcasting information across all possible channels, the system applies local quality by selecting specific broadcasting channels based on user-specific behavior patterns and preferences. Each user receives information through channels tailored to their individual usage habits, optimizing delivery effectiveness without requiring complex multi-channel broadcasting infrastructure for all users.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of channel selection from a static, one-size-fits-all approach to a dynamic, user-specific approach. By analyzing user behavior and adjusting channel selection parameters accordingly, the system achieves reliable information delivery through optimized channel choice rather than through brute-force multi-channel broadcasting.
3Loss of time
If information is integrated into actively used broadcasting channels, then the information is delivered in a timely and relevant manner, but the adaptability required to select appropriate channels increases system complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically analyzing user behavior patterns and autonomously selecting appropriate broadcasting channels without requiring manual configuration or complex external control. The system serves itself by using its own collected data about user preferences to make intelligent channel selection decisions, reducing the need for external complexity while achieving timely and relevant information delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from user behavior analysis to continuously improve channel selection. By monitoring which channels users actively use and adjusting selections based on this feedback, the system achieves timely information delivery through adaptive learning rather than through complex predetermined rules or manual intervention.

AI summary
The invention relates to a method for providing information to and a method for broadcasting to a communication terminal of a user, said information being based on data relating to at least one object connected to a communication network, such as the Internet, and also relates to the information manager and broadcaster using said methods. One subject of the invention is a method for providing information to a user of a communication terminal, said information being based on data relating to at least one object connected to a communication network. The information-providing method includes selecting a broadcasting channel depending on whether the broadcasting channel is being actively used by the communication terminal of the destination user, the broadcasting channel being able to broadcast, to the at least one communication terminal of the user, a piece of information generated on the basis of at least one datum originating from at least one connected object associated with the user. Thus, the data originating from the connected object(s) allow a user to be informed in a pertinent, personalized and unintrusive way.
