Solution Overview

Problem

Existing IoT event notification methods fail to accommodate scenarios where different notified parties require non-concurrent event notifications, leading to information interference and resource waste.

Innovation Solution

An event notification method that groups notified parties based on their requirements and sets specific intervals for sending notifications, allowing controlled and staggered delivery of event updates.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If event notifications are sent to all notified parties concurrently, then all parties receive updates in a timely manner, but information interference and resource waste occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenotification delivery reliabilityVSAvoidresource waste
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the notified parties into different groups based on their notification requirements and intervals. Each group receives notifications at appropriate times, avoiding simultaneous notifications to all parties. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by maintaining reliable delivery to each party while preventing resource waste from unnecessary concurrent notifications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic notification intervals for different groups of notified parties, allowing the system to adapt notification timing based on specific requirements. This dynamic approach ensures each party receives notifications at optimal times without causing information interference, thus maintaining reliability while reducing resource waste.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If event notifications are sent to all notified parties concurrently, then all parties receive updates simultaneously, but information interference occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenotification completenessVSAvoidinformation interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides notified parties into distinct groups with different notification intervals, preventing simultaneous notifications that cause information interference. Each group receives notifications at staggered times, ensuring completeness of delivery while eliminating the harmful effect of information overload.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements periodic notification actions with different intervals for different groups. This periodic approach ensures that each party receives notifications at appropriate intervals, maintaining notification completeness while preventing information interference through temporal separation of notification events.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Speed

If notification intervals are reduced to ensure timely delivery, then response time improves, but resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenotification delivery speedVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different notification intervals to different groups of notified parties based on their specific requirements. Critical parties receive faster notifications with shorter intervals, while less critical parties receive notifications at longer intervals. This local differentiation maintains high delivery speed for important notifications while reducing overall energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the notification interval parameter dynamically based on the group and priority level. By adjusting this parameter, the system achieves fast delivery speed for high-priority notifications while consuming less energy for low-priority ones, thus resolving the contradiction between speed and energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Disclosed are an event notification method and device, an apparatus and a computer storage medium. The event notification method comprises: receiving an event subscription request from a subscriber (S101), the event subscription request comprising one or more notified parties; dividing the one or more notified parties into one or more groups (SI02), each group comprising one or more notified parties; and sending an event notification to the notified parties in at least one group among the one or more groups (S103).
