Conditional Message Transmission via External Data Server
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing condition control systems for message transmission lack flexibility and variety in condition control, as they rely solely on internal data or do not utilize external data servers for decision-making, limiting the types of conditions that can be applied to message transmission.
Innovation Solution
A system that incorporates an external data server to perform condition control before message transmission, allowing for more flexible and varied condition settings by receiving information from external servers, which can influence whether a message is sent, using a control device or application layer integrated within a messaging system.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If condition control is performed using only internal data from the control device, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability and versatility of condition control are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an external data server as an intermediary component that stores and provides condition-related information to the control device. This mediator enables the control device to access external information (such as user context, location, or other dynamic data) without embedding complex data storage and management capabilities within the control device itself, thus increasing adaptability while maintaining relatively simple device architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extends the condition control system from a single-device internal data model to a multi-component distributed system that includes external data servers, control devices, and terminals. This dimensional expansion allows conditions to be defined based on external factors beyond the control device's internal state, significantly increasing the variety and flexibility of controllable conditions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If external data servers are integrated into the messaging system, then adaptability of condition control is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the condition control functionality into separate components: an external data server that stores and manages condition-related data, a control device that performs the actual control logic, and a messaging system that handles message transmission. This segmentation allows each component to be developed, maintained, and scaled independently, reducing overall system complexity while enabling flexible condition control through external data integration.

AI summary
The invention concerns in particular a system comprising: a first terminal (1); a second terminal (21 or 22 or 23); at least a first messaging system (31 or 32 or 33) able to transmit, to the second terminal, at least the message body of a message (10) from the first terminal; at least one device (4) controlling at least one condition (11), at least once, the said control device allowing the first messaging system to transmit to the second terminal at least the message body of the said message if the condition control result is positive, the said control device preventing the first messaging system from transmitting to the second terminal at least the message body of the said message if the condition control is negative, at least during the time for which the condition control result remains negative; at least one data server (51 or 52 or 53 or 54) external to the control device; at least one link providing communication through the Internet between on the hand the external server, or at least one of the external servers, and on the other hand the control device, the condition control device being designed to: store a message sent by the first terminal; receive at least one item of information from at least one external server; at least partially perform the condition control relating to the said message stored by means of the information received from the external server.
