Cross-Resource Subscription Prioritization for M2M Notifications
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing M2M systems lack efficient methods for cross-subscription and notification, prioritization of multiple subscriptions, and setting expiration conditions, which are crucial for managing complex machine-to-machine communications.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for transmitting notifications based on cross-resource subscriptions, including setting subscription conditions, priority orders, and expiration counters, allowing events to be detected and notifications sent only when all conditions are met within a time window.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If multiple subscription conditions are monitored in M2M systems, then notification accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the subscription management system into distinct functional modules: condition monitoring modules for each subscription condition, event detection modules, and notification generation modules. This segmentation allows the system to handle multiple subscription conditions independently and systematically, improving notification accuracy while managing complexity through modular architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary subscription management entity that mediates between multiple event sources and the notification system. This intermediary consolidates multiple subscription conditions, manages their priority orders, and coordinates event detection, thereby improving overall system organization and notification precision without proportionally increasing complexity.
2Measurement precision
If priority orders are set for multiple subscriptions, then notification relevance is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing priority orders for multiple subscription conditions during system configuration or subscription registration. This pre-ordering allows the event processing system to quickly determine notification priority without complex real-time calculations, improving notification relevance while minimizing additional processing time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of subscription conditions by assigning priority levels or weights to different subscriptions. This parameter transformation enables the system to efficiently sort and process events based on predefined priority metrics, improving notification relevance through quantitative comparison rather than complex qualitative analysis.
3Measurement precision
If cross-resource subscription conditions are monitored, then event detection accuracy is improved, but resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple related subscription conditions into a unified cross-resource subscription framework. By combining monitoring of multiple resources under a single subscription management structure, the system achieves improved event detection accuracy through comprehensive monitoring while reducing overall resource consumption by eliminating redundant processing and shared infrastructure.

AI summary
A method for transmitting, by a host, a notification to a subscriber may include: setting a plurality of subscription conditions based on a cross resource; detecting each event that satisfies each of the plurality of subscription conditions; and, when all the plurality of subscription conditions are satisfied, transmitting a notification for the cross resource to the subscriber. The plurality of subscription conditions may have a priority order.
