Context-Aware Message Presentation System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing context-aware messaging systems rely on central managing entities, which increase complexity and messaging costs due to the need for individual message formatting and tracking of each entity's context, limiting their ability to use general broadcast mechanisms.
Innovation Solution
A context-aware message presentation system that includes mobile wireless communication instruments connected to a data processor, which uses a context management protocol to selectively modify global messages into context-aware messages, eliminating the need for a central managing entity and allowing for broadcast communication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a central managing entity is used to track and format messages for each entity, then context-aware message delivery is achieved, but system complexity and messaging costs increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the context management functionality from a centralized server and embeds it directly into the mobile device itself. The context management protocol is stored in the mobile device's memory, allowing the device to independently manage its own context and format messages without requiring a complex central managing entity. This extraction eliminates the need for centralized tracking while maintaining context-aware message delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile device performs self-service by using its own stored context information and the context management protocol to format and transmit messages. The device independently determines which messages to send based on its current context (location, time, user preferences) without needing to query or receive instructions from a central server. This self-service approach reduces system complexity while achieving adaptability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a central managing entity formats messages case-by-case for each entity, then individualized message delivery is achieved, but messaging costs increase due to inability to use broadcast mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the message formatting process by dividing the context management functionality across multiple devices rather than concentrating it in a single central entity. Each mobile device has its own context management protocol and stored context information, allowing independent message formatting. This segmentation enables broadcast mechanisms to be used efficiently, as devices can format messages locally based on shared context parameters without requiring expensive point-to-point communication with a central server.
3Device complexity
If context management protocol is stored in mobile devices, then centralized complexity is reduced, but devices must independently manage context information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal context management protocol that can be stored in and executed by various types of mobile devices. The protocol is designed to be multi-functional, handling different context parameters (location, time, user preferences) and message formats through a single unified mechanism. This universality simplifies device-level context management by providing a standardized approach that works across different device types, reducing the operational burden on individual devices while eliminating centralized complexity.
