Interrupt Message System for Mobile Device Transport Medium Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Time-sensitive messages sent via data transmission in mobile communication devices often lack timely acknowledgement from recipients, as senders may not receive notification of message receipt, especially when devices are out of data coverage for specific transport mediums.
Innovation Solution
The system facilitates an interrupt message that automatically selects the fastest and most robust transport medium for transmission, independent of the device identifier, ensuring immediate notification and allowing recipients to interrupt current operations and respond promptly, with options for custom replies and peer-to-peer communication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If time sensitive messages are communicated via data transmission (e-mail, SMS), then the sender can send messages without immediate voice interaction, but the sender may not receive acknowledgement from the recipient in a timely manner
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically selects the optimal transport medium (voice, SMS, or data) based on real-time conditions and message urgency. The transport medium is not fixed but adapts dynamically to ensure timely delivery and acknowledgement, resolving the contradiction between convenient message sending and timely acknowledgement.
Solution Approach 2:
The interrupt message system acts as an intermediary mechanism that ensures delivery confirmation. When a time-sensitive message is sent, the system creates an interrupt message that actively seeks acknowledgement from the recipient, mediating between the sender and recipient to ensure timely response regardless of the primary transport medium used.
2Reliability
If the device uses a specific transport medium for message delivery, then the message can be sent reliably, but the device may be out of data coverage for that specific transport medium
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile device is configured to support multiple transport mediums (voice, SMS, data) and automatically selects the appropriate one based on availability. This multi-functionality ensures that the device can maintain reliable message delivery regardless of which specific transport medium is currently available, resolving the contradiction between delivery reliability and transport adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically determines which transport medium is available and uses that for message delivery. Rather than being stuck with a predetermined medium, the system adapts its transport choice in real-time based on network conditions, ensuring both reliability and versatility.
3Loss of time
If the recipient is interrupted from current operations to notify them of the message, then the recipient responds promptly, but the current device operation is disrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The system prepares the interrupt message in advance and delivers it to the recipient's device, which then presents the message to the user. This preliminary preparation allows the recipient to respond promptly without requiring immediate interruption of their current operation, as the message is ready for quick presentation and response.

AI summary
An interrupt message is sent over one of a plurality of transport mediums from a first mobile device to a second mobile device. The interrupt message may include a first mobile device identifier associated with a transport medium that is independent of the plurality of transport mediums. Upon receipt of the interrupt message at the second mobile device an interruption of any current mobile device operation may occur to notify a user of the interrupt message.
