Communication Device Interest Link Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The increased flow of data objects in communication systems can be overwhelming for users and the system itself, as existing technologies do not effectively control the relevancy of data exchanged between users during communication sessions.
Innovation Solution
Methods and apparatus are developed to process data of common interest by detecting trigger events in communication devices, transmitting data objects indicating user interests, and assembling secondary data objects containing common interests shared by users, which are then sent between devices, using a data object server to facilitate the exchange.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If data objects are freely exchanged between communication devices, then the quantity of data shared increases, but the relevancy and quality of data received deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by detecting trigger events (such as communication sessions starting) before data exchange occurs, and by pre-processing data objects to extract interest information. This allows the system to proactively identify relevant data and user interests before the overwhelming data flow occurs, enabling selective sharing based on pre-analyzed relevance rather than reactive filtering.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer that acts as a mediator between data sources and users. This intermediary extracts interest information from data objects, compares it with user profiles, and selectively shares only relevant data. This mediator layer prevents the direct unfiltered data flow that causes information overload while maintaining the benefits of data exchange.
2Loss of information
If all data objects are transmitted to users, then complete information is provided, but system complexity and processing load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential interest information from data objects rather than processing or transmitting the entire data. By taking out just the key interest indicators and comparing them with user profiles, the system maintains information completeness for relevant data while avoiding the complexity of processing all data objects in full detail.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies partial action by selectively processing only those data objects that contain interest information relevant to user profiles, rather than processing all data objects equally. This partial processing approach maintains the necessary information completeness for relevant data while reducing overall system complexity by avoiding unnecessary processing of irrelevant data.
3Loss of information
If interest-based filtering is implemented, then data relevancy improves, but processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary extraction of interest information from data objects and preliminary comparison with user profiles before final data sharing decisions. This preliminary action allows the system to quickly identify obviously relevant or irrelevant data using simplified criteria, reducing the need for time-consuming detailed processing of all data objects.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the data processing into distinct stages: extracting interest information from data objects, comparing with user profiles, and making sharing decisions. This segmentation allows each stage to be optimized independently, with the extraction and comparison stages using efficient algorithms that minimize processing time while maintaining high relevancy accuracy.

AI summary
Techniques for processing data related to common interests of two or more users of a communication system are disclosed. In an exemplary method disclosed herein, the occurrence of a trigger event at a first communication device is detected, wherein the trigger event is related to communications between the first communication device and a second communication device. In response to the trigger event, the transmission of a first data object to the second communication device is initiated, wherein the first data object comprises information indicating one or more interests of a user of the first communication device. The exemplary method further comprises receiving and processing a second data object formed in response to the first data object, the second data comprising data related to one or more common interests shared by the users of the first and second communication devices. Similar methods suitable for implementing at a user communication device or at a data object server are disclosed, as are correspondingly configured devices.
