Event Notification System Message Correlation via Embedded CEMI
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing Event Notification Systems face challenges in correlating outgoing messages with incoming responses due to the lack of preservation of unique message identifiers during communication, leading to inefficiencies in processing and potential meaningless actions based on responses.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating coded event message information (CEMI), which includes a unique message identifier and event message state, directly into the body of outgoing messages ensures that all original message state is returned in responses, eliminating the need for local storage and enabling accurate correlation and validation of responses.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If unique message identifiers are stored locally in the ENS to correlate outgoing messages with incoming responses, then response correlation accuracy is improved, but system complexity and storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a copy of the unique message identifier and embeds it within the message body itself. This copied identifier travels with the message through the communication network and returns with the response, eliminating the need for separate local storage and correlation mechanisms in the ENS.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the unique message identifier with the message content by embedding it in the message body. This combination ensures the identifier is preserved throughout the communication process without requiring separate storage infrastructure, thereby reducing system complexity while maintaining correlation accuracy.
2Measurement precision
If unique message identifiers are transmitted through the communication network, then response correlation is enabled, but loss of message state information occurs due to network protocol limitations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent embeds a copy of the complete message state information within the message body itself. This ensures that even if network protocols filter or modify other parts of the message, the coded event message information remains intact and can be used for accurate response correlation and validation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary encoding of the message state information and embeds it in the message body before transmission. This proactive inclusion ensures the information is preserved throughout the network transmission process, preventing any potential loss of message state.
3Measurement precision
If coded event message information is embedded in the message body, then response validation accuracy is improved, but message size increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent encodes the message state information in a compact format within the message body. By changing the representation parameters of the data (using coded format rather than full text), the system achieves high response validation accuracy while minimizing the increase in message size.

AI summary
An event notification system is linked to a plurality of event generation devices and to an event notification network. The system receives event messages from the event generation devices and determines what information should be included in an event notification message that the system transmits to one or more recipient devices. Each event notification message includes coded event message information and a coded unique message identity. A response message receive by the system from a recipient device includes the coded event message information which is used by the system to validate the response.
