Email Classification Tag Parsing for Organized Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing volume of electronic mail makes it difficult to manage and classify, leading to inefficiencies in viewing, identifying, and managing emails within organizations.
Innovation Solution
A system that includes a network interface and processor to receive and parse classification tags in emails, allowing for the extraction and display of classification information, enabling users to associate and manage email classification efficiently across the organization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If the volume of electronic mail increases, then communication between users is enhanced, but management and classification of emails becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing email management into classified categories using classification tags. Emails are segmented into different groups based on their classification information (e.g., department, project, priority), making it easier to manage and navigate large volumes of emails through organized classification rather than handling them as a single undifferentiated mass.
2Productivity
If classification information is added to emails, then email management efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The classification tag system serves multiple functions simultaneously: it classifies emails by department, project, priority level, and other categories; it enables automated sorting and filtering; it provides a standardized format for email classification across the organization; and it integrates with existing email infrastructure. This multi-functionality justifies the added complexity by delivering comprehensive email management capabilities.
3Difficulty of detecting and measuring
If classification tags are parsed and displayed, then email identification and readability are improved, but computer resource usage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential classification information from the classification tags and displays it in a condensed format in the email subject line or header. Rather than processing and displaying all possible classification data, the system extracts and shows only the most relevant classification elements, reducing computational overhead while maintaining improved email identification and readability.
Data Source
AI summary
A network interface receives an electronic mail on a first computer. A processor determines that the received electronic mail comprises a classification tag, and in response to the determination parses the classification tag to extract a plurality of classification information. The processor displays the plurality of classification information on the first computer.
