Mandatory Duration for oneM2M Batch Notification Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The current oneM2M specifications for batch notifications make the duration optional when the number of notifications to be batched is set, leading to issues where batched notifications may not be sent if the specified number is not reached, resulting in incomplete notification delivery.
Innovation Solution
Making the duration mandatory when the number of notifications to be batched is used, ensuring that batched notifications are sent even if the specified number is not reached, by configuring a batch notification method that sets both values, ensuring timely and complete notification delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the number of notifications to be batched is set but duration is optional, then device complexity is reduced, but notification delivery reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter status of 'duration' from optional to mandatory when batch notifications are configured. This parameter change ensures that notifications are delivered within a specified time window, preventing indefinite delays while maintaining configuration simplicity. The duration parameter acts as a timeout mechanism that guarantees delivery reliability without adding complex configuration steps.
2Loss of time
If notifications are batched without mandatory duration, then loss of time is reduced through consolidation, but loss of information increases due to incomplete delivery
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by setting a duration threshold before batch notification delivery occurs. This pre-configured time window ensures that notifications are accumulated efficiently to reduce transmission overhead, while the mandatory duration parameter prevents indefinite waiting that would cause information loss. The system proactively sends batches within the duration window, balancing time efficiency with complete information delivery.

AI summary
In one embodiment, a method, comprising: configuring a batch notification based on setting a first value, the first value corresponding to a specified number of notifications to be stored before providing a batch notification; responsive to setting the first value, setting a second value, the second value corresponding to a duration commencing from generation of a first notification and ending at a specified temporal value; and automatically providing one or more notifications over a network compliant with a oneM2M specification based on the first and second values.
