Conditional Mobile Messaging Platform for Time and Location-Based Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional messaging systems lack the ability to deliver messages based on preset real-world conditions, such as time, date, or geographic location, resulting in messages being sent without control over when and where they are received.
Innovation Solution
A novel mobile messaging platform that allows users to create and send locked electronic messages, which are automatically unlocked and delivered only when specific real-world conditions set by the sender are met, such as a particular date, time, or location.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional messaging systems are used, then messages can be sent immediately, but messages cannot be controlled based on real-world conditions such as time, date, or location
Solution Approach 1:
The system allows senders to pre-configure delivery conditions (time, date, location) for messages before sending. The messaging platform stores these conditional messages and automatically evaluates the conditions when they are met, triggering message delivery without requiring real-time intervention. This resolves the contradiction by enabling adaptive message delivery control while maintaining system simplicity through automated condition evaluation.
2Reliability
If messages are sent without conditional control, then delivery is immediate, but recipients cannot receive messages at intended moments or locations
Solution Approach 1:
The messaging system continuously monitors real-world conditions (time, date, location) and automatically compares them against the pre-set conditions for each conditional message. When the current state matches the specified conditions, the system triggers message delivery. This feedback mechanism ensures reliable message delivery at intended moments while minimizing delays through automated real-time condition evaluation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If conditional message delivery is implemented, then messages are delivered only when conditions are met, but the system requires complex condition monitoring and evaluation
Solution Approach 1:
The messaging platform automatically performs condition monitoring and evaluation without requiring external intervention. The system self-manages the entire process of storing conditional messages, monitoring real-world conditions, evaluating whether conditions are met, and triggering message delivery. This self-service approach enables versatile conditional delivery capability while reducing the burden of automation management on users.

AI summary
Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content searching, generating, hosting and/or providing systems supported by or configured with personal computing devices, servers and/or platforms. The systems interact to identify and retrieve data within or across platforms, which can be used to improve the quality of data used in processing interactions between or among processors in such systems. The disclosed systems and methods provide an improved messaging platform that enables the creation and communication of locked electronic messages to recipients, where the message is automatically unlocked for recipient viewing only upon satisfaction of a real-world condition set by the sending user. Upon creating the message, the sender sets time, date and/or geographical restrictions for viewing the message, such that only upon those set restrictions being satisfied is the message delivered and viewable on the recipient user's device.
