Mail Push Terminal Selection via User Usage State Parameters
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mail push systems cannot automatically select the most suitable communication terminal for mail delivery based on user usage state parameters, such as position and device attributes, leading to inefficient mail delivery.
Innovation Solution
A communication terminal and mail push system that acquires user usage state parameters, including position and device attributes, to generate a mail push indication message, allowing the system to automatically select the appropriate terminal for mail delivery, using a mail push server and client software to transmit and receive mail accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If mail is pushed to a single communication terminal using traditional mail push technique, then the mail delivery process is simple, but the system cannot automatically select the most suitable terminal based on user usage state
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by having communication terminals proactively report their usage states (position, device attributes, user activity) to the mail push server before mail arrives. This allows the server to already have updated terminal selection criteria when mail needs to be pushed, enabling adaptive terminal selection without complex real-time decision-making at push time.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where terminals continuously report their usage states back to the server, and the server uses this feedback to dynamically adjust terminal selection. The server receives usage state information from multiple terminals and uses this feedback to intelligently determine which terminal should receive the pushed mail based on current user context.
2Measurement precision
If the system monitors multiple parameters to select the appropriate terminal, then terminal selection accuracy is improved, but information acquisition and processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the parameter acquisition function by having each communication terminal independently collect and report its own usage state parameters (position, device attributes, user activity status) to the server. This distributes the complexity across multiple independent terminals rather than requiring a centralized complex monitoring system, while still achieving comprehensive parameter collection for accurate terminal selection.
3Ease of operation
If mail is pushed to multiple communication terminals simultaneously, then user accessibility is improved, but notification timing and relevance may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically determines terminal selection based on real-time usage state parameters. Instead of statically pushing mail to all terminals or a fixed terminal, the server continuously adapts its selection based on current user context (which terminal the user is actively using, position information, device attributes), ensuring mail is pushed to the most relevant terminal at any given moment while still allowing flexible access across multiple terminals when appropriate.
Data Source
AI summary
A communication system, mail push system and method of pushing mail are disclosed. The communication terminal may comprise a parameter acquisition unit for acquiring at least one parameter related to a user usage state; an information transmission unit for transmitting, to a data processing device at a network side, first information including the at least one parameter related to the user usage state, a mail reception unit for receiving a mail from a mail push device at the network side, wherein the mail is pushed by the mail push device according to a mail push indication message which is related to the first information and second information from a second communication terminal, and the second communication terminal is separated from the communication terminal. The communication terminal, the mail push system and the method thereof may automatically select the communication terminal to which the mail is pushed, according to a parameter related to the current user usage state.
