Solution Overview

Problem

Managing multiple communication channels separately leads to increased resource overhead, inefficiencies, inconsistent user experiences, and challenges in maintaining data synchronization and scalability due to unique integration and maintenance efforts for each channel.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a channel-agnostic segmentation and engagement-based messaging system that segments accounts into messaging segments applicable across all channels, determining account configurations based on engagement personas, and transmitting communications accordingly to optimize resource use and ensure consistent messaging.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If separate management systems are used for each communication channel, then channel-specific customization is improved, but device complexity and resource overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechannel-specific customizationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal messaging management system that handles multiple communication channels (SMS, email, push notifications, social media) through a single platform. The system uses channel-agnostic segmentation where accounts are divided into messaging segments that can be applied across all channels, eliminating the need for separate management systems for each channel while maintaining channel-specific customization capabilities through engagement personas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Productivity

If separate management systems are used for each communication channel, then channel-specific optimization is improved, but resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechannel-specific optimizationVSAvoidresource overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the management of multiple communication channels into a single unified system. By combining channel-specific optimization capabilities into one platform, the system eliminates redundant resources that would exist in separate management systems. The unified approach allows shared infrastructure, common authentication mechanisms, and centralized messaging segment definitions that reduce overall resource consumption while maintaining optimization for each channel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If channel-agnostic segmentation is implemented, then scalability is improved, but manufacturing precision decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovescalabilityVSAvoidmessaging precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by combining channel-agnostic segmentation with engagement personas. Accounts are segmented into messaging segments at a high level for scalability, but each account receives personalized account configurations based on engagement personas that indicate relative engagement performance levels for specific channels. This allows the system to maintain broad scalability while delivering precise, personalized messaging at the individual account level.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

In some implementations, a device may categorize a set of accounts into a set of messaging segments, wherein each account, of the set of accounts, is associated with one or more messaging segments of the set of messaging segments, and wherein the set of messaging segments are applicable to multiple communication channels. The device may determine, for each messaging segment associated with the account, an account configuration that is based on a content configuration associated with that messaging segment and based on an engagement persona associated with the account. The device may transmit, via one or more communication channels included in the multiple communication channels, one or more communications for the account in accordance with the account configuration.
