Email Generation Device Merging Common Components to Reduce Data Volume
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing email generation methods often result in increased data amounts for recipients, reducing noticeability and effectiveness, as they require users to open URLs and read multiple emails to access information.
Innovation Solution
An email generation device that extracts and combines common components from multiple email candidates with unique recipient identification, generating a single email substance to reduce data volume while maintaining effectiveness, by using send candidate information storage, extraction, and email substance generation mechanisms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If multiple emails are sent to users with different information, then the information coverage is improved, but the data amount received by users increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple email contents into a single email by extracting common components (such as headers, footers, templates) and unique components (specific information for different recipients). This combining approach reduces the total data amount sent to users while ensuring all necessary information is delivered through one consolidated email message.
2Loss of information
If all email data is sent to users, then the completeness of information is improved, but the noticeability and effectiveness of the email decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments email content into common components (applicable to all recipients) and unique components (specific to individual recipients). By organizing information in this segmented manner, the email maintains completeness while improving noticeability - users can quickly identify their specific information without being overwhelmed by redundant common content.
3Loss of information
If multiple separate emails are sent, then the specificity of information for each recipient is improved, but the number of emails increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal email template structure that can serve multiple recipients simultaneously. By defining common components that apply universally and inserting recipient-specific unique components, the system achieves multi-functionality - one email structure serves multiple purposes and multiple recipients while maintaining information specificity for each user.
Data Source
AI summary
A plurality of pieces of send candidate information are stored (Step S12). Each piece of send candidate information has recipient identification information identifying a recipient of an email and an email substance (50 and 55) that are associated with each other. The email substance includes a plurality of components (51, 52, and 53). From among the stored pieces of send candidate information, two or more pieces of send candidate information that have the same recipient identification information and at least one of the components related between their email substances are extracted (S13, S14, and S15). An email substance (56) to be sent to the recipient is generated, based on common components related between the email substances of the extracted pieces of send candidate information and on components that are included in the email substances of the extracted pieces of send candidate information and that are other than the common components (S16).
