Central Server Mediates Mobile Request Status Updates
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for processing mobile device requests often fail to accurately associate partial responses with the corresponding mobile devices, leading to outdated or incorrect information displayed on the mobile phone, especially when the mobile device moves out of the local data transmission range or when identification information is missing.
Innovation Solution
A system where processing devices transmit partial responses to an information collection device, which associates them with mobile device requests using request and user identification information, and if this information is missing, employs a best effort matching algorithm to ensure the most accurate association possible, ensuring timely and reliable updates to the mobile device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If processing devices transmit partial responses directly to mobile devices using local data transmission channels, then response speed is improved, but reliability deteriorates when mobile devices move out of transmission range
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a central server as an intermediary that collects partial responses from processing devices and forwards them to mobile devices. This mediator ensures reliable information delivery even when direct local transmission channels are unavailable, resolving the contradiction between fast local response and reliable delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from purely local direct transmission to a multi-dimensional communication architecture that includes both direct local channels and centralized server mediation. This allows the system to switch between transmission paths based on availability, maintaining both speed and reliability.
2Measurement precision
If the system uses identification information to associate partial responses with mobile device requests, then association accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary association of partial responses with mobile device requests using identification information before final response composition. This advance matching ensures high association accuracy while organizing the complexity into manageable preprocessing steps.
3Reliability
If the system waits for all processing devices to complete before transmitting the final response, then response accuracy is improved, but response time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The central server performs preliminary collection and association of partial responses as they become available, rather than waiting for all processing to complete. This allows the system to prepare the final response in advance, improving response time while maintaining accuracy through continued validation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the central server continuously monitors the completion status of processing devices and updates the final response accordingly. This ensures response accuracy is maintained while minimizing delays through real-time status tracking.

AI summary
A system for processing a request of a mobile device, and there is provided an information collection device, which is configured to associate the information received from processing devices or from the mobile device of the system with respective requests of the mobile devices in order to determine the current status information of each request of each mobile device, for which purpose there is carried out, in the case of the absence of request identification information required for a clear association and/or identity identification information, a first association by way of further pieces of information contained in the request information, and that the information collection device is configured to transmit the current status information of the respective request to the respective mobile device.
