Context-Aware Messaging Attachment Modification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing messaging systems waste resources by transmitting large file attachments in their entirety, despite only a small portion being relevant to the message context, leading to inefficiencies in storage and transmission.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for selective message attachment modification based on determined context, where a messaging server or client module loads a message, determines the relevant context, and modifies the file accordingly before transmission, ensuring only contextually relevant portions are sent.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If large file attachments are transmitted in their entirety, then complete information is provided to the recipient, but transmission efficiency decreases and resources are wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the contextually relevant portions of large file attachments before transmission. The system analyzes the message context and extracts specific segments, pages, or portions of the attached file that are relevant to the conversation, transmitting only those extracted portions to the recipient while discarding irrelevant content.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments large file attachments into smaller, contextually relevant portions. Instead of transmitting the entire file, the system divides the attachment into manageable segments and selectively transmits only those segments that are relevant to the current message context, reducing overall transmission size.
2Reliability
If large file attachments are stored and transmitted, then all data is available for reference, but storage resources are wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the necessary portions of attachments for storage and transmission based on message context analysis. By extracting relevant content rather than storing complete files, the patent reduces storage requirements while maintaining availability of contextually important information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by making different parts of the attachment have different transmission/storage statuses based on their relevance. Contextually important portions are extracted and transmitted, while irrelevant portions are excluded, creating a non-uniform quality distribution optimized for the specific communication context.
3Productivity
If context analysis is performed to modify attachments, then transmission efficiency improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a context analysis module as an intermediary between the message sender and recipient. This intermediary component analyzes the message context and determines which portions of attachments should be transmitted, acting as a mediator that optimizes transmission without requiring complex modifications to the core messaging system.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically analyzing message context and determining relevant attachment portions without requiring manual user intervention. The context analysis and attachment modification processes are automated, reducing the complexity burden on users while maintaining high transmission efficiency.
