IoT Event Notification System Grouping and Staggered Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing IoT event notification systems fail to efficiently manage notifications among multiple parties, leading to concurrent information overload and resource waste, as they lack the ability to differentiate notification schedules and groups based on specific event rules and re-notification criteria.
Innovation Solution
An event notification method that groups notified parties and sets distinct notification intervals and criteria, allowing for initial and re-notifications based on event rules and intervals, ensuring targeted and efficient information delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If event notifications are sent to all notified parties simultaneously when an event occurs, then all parties receive information promptly, but information overload and resource waste occur due to lack of differentiation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments notified parties into multiple groups (first group, second group, etc.) and sends notifications to different groups at different time points. This segmentation allows the system to maintain prompt notification delivery while avoiding information overload by distributing notifications across time and recipient groups, thereby reducing resource waste.
2Loss of information
If event notifications are sent to multiple parties concurrently, then information delivery is comprehensive, but information interference increases due to simultaneous notifications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic action by sending notifications to different groups at different time points rather than concurrently. The first group receives notifications at an initial time point, while the second group receives notifications at a subsequent time point. This periodic approach ensures comprehensive information delivery to all parties while reducing information interference by spacing out notification events.
3Device complexity
If a single notification interval is used for all parties, then the system is simple to manage, but it cannot accommodate diverse user requirements for different notification schedules
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the notification system adaptable to different requirements. Different groups can be configured with different notification intervals and time points, allowing the system to adjust its behavior based on specific user needs. This dynamic approach enables diverse notification schedules while maintaining manageable system complexity through structured group management.

AI summary
An event notification method, an apparatus, a server device, and a computer storage medium are disclosed. The method includes: receiving an event subscription request; determining whether an amount of times that an event notification rule is satisfied is equal to K, and if yes, sending an event notification to at least one notified party in the plurality of notified parties; and after the initial notification is performed, determining whether the amount of times that the event notification rule is satisfied is equal to P, and if yes, sending an event notification to at least one notified party in the plurality of notified parties. The initial notification and the re-notification are performed at different times, and the at least one notified party notified in the initial notification is at least partially different from the at least one notified party notified in the re-notification.
