Electronic Message System for Remote Service Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems for acquiring electronic products and services through electronic messages lack efficient remote access and are limited by physical stock constraints, printer requirements, and risks associated with printed codes, such as loss or damage of receipts.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising instruction receiving/sending devices, an instruction processing server, an assigning server, and an electronic message sending device that generates and sends activation codes to user devices via SMS, MMS, or email, allowing immediate access to electronic products and services through a server portal without the need for physical presence or printing devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If printed codes on receipts are used for acquiring electronic products, then the user can obtain access codes, but the user risks losing or damaging the receipt and cannot receive the PIN again
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the physical receipt with a digital copy delivered via electronic message. The access code is copied from the point of sale system and transmitted electronically to the user's device, eliminating the need for physical paper and reducing the risk of loss or damage.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent substitutes the mechanical printing system with an electronic messaging system. Instead of using printers to produce physical receipts with printed codes, the system uses electronic messages (SMS, email, or messaging apps) to deliver the access codes digitally.
2Ease of manufacture
If point of sale terminals with printers are used, then codes can be printed on receipts, but the establishment is limited to locations with printing devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the printing function from the point of sale terminal and separates it as an independent step. The terminal only needs to generate and transmit the access code electronically, while the delivery mechanism (electronic message) handles the physical delivery aspect, allowing terminals without printers to be used.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the point of sale system universal by enabling it to work with multiple delivery methods (SMS, email, messaging apps) rather than being tied to a specific printing device. This multi-functionality allows the same terminal to operate in locations with different infrastructure capabilities.
3Productivity
If prepaid cards with physical stock are used, then users can acquire electronic goods, but the establishment has limited availability when cards are terminated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces physical prepaid cards with digital access codes that can be generated on demand. Instead of having a limited inventory of physical cards, the system can create unlimited digital copies of access codes, eliminating stock limitations and enabling continuous sales availability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses disposable digital access codes that are generated, used, and discarded electronically. Each code is unique and can be created instantly without the need for physical card production, inventory management, or redistribution, making the system highly scalable and available.
4Ease of operation
If electronic messages are used to send activation codes, then remote immediate access is enabled, but the system requires integration with multiple communication platforms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal messaging system that can send access codes through multiple communication platforms (SMS, email, messaging apps) using a single integrated interface. The system adapts to different communication channels automatically, providing remote access capability across diverse devices without requiring separate integration for each platform.

AI summary
The invention relates to a system for the acquisition of electronic services and/or products using electronic messages, comprising: at least a plurality of devices for receiving/sending instructions, wherein each of the devices for receiving/sending instructions is for generating an instruction of the selection carried out by an initial user of said system and sending same to an instruction-processing server for the processing thereof; an instruction-processing server for receiving and processing the selection instruction of the initial user in order to generate an assigning instruction and send same to an assigning server; an assigning server for receiving and processing the assigning instruction of the instruction-processing server, generating a sending instruction that is dealt with by the electronic message-sending device; a plurality of the final user devices, wherein each of the devices is managed by a final user, which receives an electronic message from the electronic message-sending device; and a plurality of servers providing products and/or services, into which the final user inputs information contained in the electronic message received in the final user device via an access portal available in each of said servers providing products and/or services, in order to be able to have access to the requested electronic service and/or product.
