Email Management Device Segregating Advertisement Emails
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing email systems lack efficient methods to manage and distinguish advertisement emails from regular emails, leading to time-consuming processing and low efficiency due to the need for individual identification of large volumes of advertisement emails.
Innovation Solution
An email management method and device that determine the presence of advertisement emails based on sender addresses, classify them into sets, and display them collectively, using a determining module, obtaining module, and displaying module to organize and sort email information for efficient processing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If all emails in the email inbox are individually identified one after another, then advertisement emails can be recognized, but the process is time-consuming and has low processing efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the email processing task by first identifying advertisement emails through keyword matching in the body content, then separating them into a distinct advertisement email set. This segmentation allows the system to handle advertisement emails differently from normal emails, improving overall processing efficiency while maintaining recognition accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary identification of advertisement emails by scanning email body content for advertisement-related keywords before proceeding with further processing. This preliminary action filters out advertisement emails early in the workflow, preventing them from consuming time in subsequent individual identification steps and thereby improving processing efficiency.
2Device complexity
If advertisement emails are stored as normal emails without distinguishing and separating them, then the email system is simple, but a large amount of advertisement emails are stored and displayed in the email inbox
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a separate advertisement email set that is distinct from the normal email inbox. By segmenting advertisement emails into their own dedicated storage area, the system effectively reduces the volume of emails displayed in the main inbox while maintaining a simple overall structure through clear separation of functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts advertisement emails from the main email inbox by identifying them through keyword matching and moving them to a separate advertisement email set. This extraction process removes advertisement emails from the general inbox view, reducing the quantity of unwanted emails displayed to users while keeping the system structure simple.
3Measurement precision
If individual identification of emails is performed, then accurate classification is achieved, but time is lost and processing efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary classification of emails by scanning the body content for advertisement-related keywords and identifying advertisement emails early in the process. This preliminary action classifies advertisement emails into a separate set before further processing, achieving accurate classification while significantly reducing the time required for handling advertisement emails compared to individual identification of all emails.

AI summary
Methods and devices for email management are provided. According to email information of emails in an email box, whether an email box contains advertisement emails is determined. The email information at least contains sender addresses of the emails. When the email box contains the advertisement emails, classification data of the advertisement emails are obtained by obtaining the email information of the advertisement emails and classifying the advertisement emails, according to the sender addresses thereof, to form advertisement-email sets with each set containing at least one advertisement email. The at least one advertisement email in a same advertisement-email set has a same sender address. The advertisement emails are displayed according to the classification data thereof. Accordingly, the email managing device includes a determining module, an obtaining module, and a displaying module.
