Email Notification System Refined Information Parsing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current email notification systems only provide basic information such as a URI and timestamp, limiting user equipment (UE) ability to perform flexible email operations, as they do not deliver detailed email information.
Innovation Solution
The system generates refined email information according to a configured format and sends it to the UE, where a parsing module processes this information, enabling the UE to perform flexible email operations by extracting and presenting detailed email data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the EMN includes only basic information (URI and timestamp), then the notification system is simple and lightweight, but the UE cannot obtain detailed email information to perform flexible email operations
Solution Approach 1:
The email information is segmented into two parts: basic notification information (URI and timestamp) sent in the EMN, and detailed email information (subject, sender, receiver, content preview, attachment info) that is extracted and included within the EMN structure. This segmentation allows the system to provide both simplicity and completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The detailed email information is nested within the EMN structure. The EMN contains both the basic notification elements and the embedded detailed email fields, creating a nested information structure where the email details are contained within the notification message itself.
2Loss of information
If the EMN includes detailed email information, then the UE can perform flexible email operations, but the notification structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The EMN structure is designed to be universal, accommodating both basic notification functions and detailed email information functions within a single standardized structure. This multi-functionality allows the same message format to serve multiple purposes without requiring separate structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter set of the EMN from minimal (URI, timestamp) to extended (including subject, sender, receiver, content preview, attachment information). By adjusting the information parameters included in the notification, the system provides detailed email data while maintaining a consistent structural framework.
3Loss of information
If the UE requests full email details for every notification, then the UE obtains complete email information, but the communication overhead and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The detailed email information is prepared and embedded in the EMN in advance, before the UE needs to access it. This preliminary action of including email details in the notification eliminates the need for subsequent retrieval requests, saving time and reducing communication overhead.
Solution Approach 2:
The notification process and email detail delivery process are merged into a single operation. Instead of separate steps (notification → request → retrieval), the EMN combines notification and detailed information delivery into one unified message, reducing the number of communication rounds and time consumption.

AI summary
A system, method and apparatus for implementing email notification are disclosed. The system and method ensures that an email notification (EMN) generation module is able to generate refined email information for a received email according to a configured refined email information format and transmit the generated refined email information to a parsing module. The systems and methods further allow the parsing module in a user equipment to parse out refined email information from the EMN generation module according to a configured refined email information format. An apparatus for implementing email notification includes an email server having the EMN generation module and a user equipment having the parsing module. The system, method and apparatus according to embodiments of the present invention all ensure the UE to be able to receive the refined email information to which the detailed email information in the UE's mail account corresponds. The UE may be able to flexibly perform subsequent email operation according to the received refined email information.
