Instance-Based Message Delivery for Multi-Device Routing Conflicts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current messaging systems lack the ability to deliver messages to specific devices within a user's multiple connected instances, such as phones, tablets, and computers, based on sender preferences, and may experience conflicts between sender and receiver instance selections, leading to inefficient message delivery.
Innovation Solution
A wireless communications system that allows senders to specify the instance for message delivery, using a network server to manage instance requests, content assessment, and conflict resolution, ensuring messages are delivered to the most capable device while prioritizing receiver selections.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If messages are delivered to all connected instances by default, then message delivery coverage is maximized, but message delivery precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the message delivery process by introducing instance request parameters that allow senders to specify particular instances for message delivery. The system divides the broad delivery target (all instances) into specific delivery targets (selected instances) using segmentation of the delivery scope through parameter-based control.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by allowing different delivery preferences for different instances. Each instance can have specific delivery rules or capabilities assessed locally, enabling the system to deliver messages to specific instances based on sender preferences and receiver capabilities rather than treating all instances uniformly.
2Adaptability or versatility
If sender instance selection is prioritized, then message delivery customization is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent achieves universality by designing a multi-functional instance request parameter system that can handle various delivery scenarios (specific instance delivery, all instances delivery, conditional delivery) through a unified mechanism. This universal approach manages complexity by providing a single flexible interface rather than multiple specialized systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary assessment mechanism that mediates between sender preferences and receiver capabilities. This intermediary system evaluates instance requests and resolves conflicts automatically, reducing the apparent complexity for users while maintaining sophisticated delivery control capabilities.
3Manufacturing precision
If instance-specific message delivery is implemented, then message rendering quality is improved, but message delivery time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-assessing instance capabilities and pre-determining optimal delivery targets before message delivery. The system evaluates receiver instance capabilities in advance and selects the most appropriate instance for message delivery, reducing actual delivery time while ensuring optimal rendering quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the system assesses instance capabilities and uses this information to optimize message delivery routing. The feedback loop between capability assessment and delivery decision-making enables the system to balance rendering quality and delivery time by selecting instances that meet both criteria.

AI summary
Techniques and architectures enable a wireless communications system to receive and deliver a message for which a user of a mobile device has specified which among multiple devices, all assigned the same phone number as one another, is to receive the message. The mobile device may be the sender or the receiver of the message. The message may be a scheduled message to be delivered on a particular date and time to a contact in an address book of the sender.
