Concise Message Routing Language for Mobile Commerce
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile communication and commerce systems face challenges in efficiently disseminating information and conducting transactions due to limitations in content organization, identifier management, and privacy concerns, particularly in person-to-person communication and m-commerce, where ambiguity in keywords and lack of integrated payment solutions hinder seamless interactions.
Innovation Solution
A system utilizing Concise Message Routing Language (CMRL) and a network architecture that allows concise message requests to be routed through internet domain names, enabling content providers to manage their own identifiers, facilitate transactions without personal information disclosure, and offer flexible communication options, including one-to-many and many-to-many messaging.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If shared short codes are used to provide content across multiple content providers, then content availability is improved, but identifier ambiguity and organization difficulty worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the identifier space by assigning dedicated short codes to specific content providers or organizations rather than using shared short codes. This segmentation eliminates ambiguity in identifier meaning while maintaining broad content availability across multiple providers, as each provider has their own dedicated short code namespace.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a routing system that acts as an intermediary between the user's message and the content provider's server. The routing system translates user-friendly identifiers into the appropriate content provider identifiers and manages the communication protocol, simplifying the organization and reducing the complexity burden on both users and providers.
2Adaptability or versatility
If content providers prepare content for different media independently, then content customization is improved, but system complexity worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal messaging platform that handles multiple media types (SMS, MMS, voice, email) through a single integrated system. Content providers prepare content once in a standardized format, and the system automatically adapts it for different media channels, eliminating the need for separate content preparation for each medium while maintaining full customization capability.
3Reliability
If personal information is disclosed for payment processing, then transaction accuracy is improved, but privacy protection worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a payment processing intermediary that acts as a trusted third party between the user and the content provider. This intermediary handles all personal information and payment processing securely, verifying user identity and processing transactions without requiring users to disclose sensitive information directly to content providers, thus maintaining transaction accuracy while protecting privacy.

AI summary
A system and method are provided for communication between a communication device and a content provider associated with an internet domain name and a server. The system includes a network with a user interface, an internet connection, and an interface to the content provider's internet domain. A communication device user enters a concise message request which includes a channel, a designator and, optionally, a request instruction. The combination of the channel and the designator specify a location on the internet at which routing instructions reside for responding to the concise message request and generating a concise message response for output to the communication device. Concise message documents can be generated for effecting financial transactions such as purchases and payments via SMS. CMRL can also be used to route person-to-person messaging through a content provider's internet domain at which the users may be registered.
