Enterprise Message Identifier Mapping to Media Identifiers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulty in identifying the source of messages from enterprise clients, such as banks, as the enterprise identifiers used are often numeric codes, leading to potential phishing attempts and increased network usage while verifying the sender's authenticity.
Innovation Solution
Mapping enterprise identifiers to media identifiers like logos, images, or sounds, which are more recognizable, thereby facilitating user verification of message authenticity and reducing the need for internet searches, through a messaging application server and mobile device integration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If enterprise identifiers are used as numeric codes for message senders, then message transmission is enabled, but user identification of the sender becomes difficult and phishing attempts increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates visual copies (logos, images, icons) of enterprise identifiers that can be displayed alongside or instead of numeric codes. These visual representations serve as recognizable substitutes that users can easily identify, resolving the contradiction between enabling message transmission and facilitating sender identification.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes visual characteristics including colors, logos, and graphical representations to transform bland numeric identifiers into distinctive visual elements. These visual attributes make senders easily recognizable and help users verify message authenticity without requiring internet searches.
2Reliability
If users search the internet to verify sender authenticity, then message verification is possible, but network usage and power consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs sender verification in advance by pre-fetching and caching enterprise identifier information (logos, names, visual representations) on the mobile device. This preliminary action eliminates the need for users to perform internet searches at the time of message verification, thereby reducing network usage and power consumption while maintaining verification accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile device is equipped with local capabilities to verify sender authenticity using stored enterprise identifier information. Instead of relying on external internet searches, the device serves itself by comparing incoming message identifiers against its local database of verified enterprises, reducing network dependency and energy consumption.
3Productivity
If numeric enterprise identifiers are displayed, then message sending is enabled, but user confidence in message authenticity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges numeric enterprise identifiers with visual elements (logos, icons, graphical representations) to create a composite identifier system. This combination maintains the efficiency of numeric codes for message transmission while adding visual recognition elements that boost user confidence in sender authenticity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from one-dimensional numeric identifiers to multi-dimensional visual identifiers that include logos, colors, and graphical elements. This dimensional enhancement allows users to recognize senders more confidently while preserving the underlying numeric identification system for efficient message routing.
Data Source
AI summary
A device of a first party may receive a message from a second party. The device may obtain mapping information. The mapping information may be associated with a third party verification that the enterprise identifier was assigned to the second party. The mapping information may be associated with mapping the enterprise identifier to a media identifier selected by the second party or the third party to represent the enterprise sender. The device may map the enterprise identifier to the media identifier based on the mapping information. The device may provide the media identifier with the message.
