Message Attribute Modification System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication systems do not allow the message recipient to modify or add attributes to a message originally sent by the message creator, limiting the ability to change the medium of transmission and add new meaning to the message.
Innovation Solution
The system enables the message recipient to encode and re-transmit messages with modified attributes, such as changing the medium, on behalf of the message creator, allowing for additional attributes like identity or time stamps to be added, and providing the message creator with the option to accept or reject these changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the message recipient is allowed to modify or add attributes to the original message, then the adaptability and versatility of the communication system is improved, but the reliability and authenticity of the message may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system (the computer system with processor and memory) that mediates between the message creator and message recipient. This intermediary verifies the identity of users, manages digital credentials, and oversees the attribute modification process, ensuring that modifications are performed legitimately while maintaining system-controlled authenticity tracking.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the message creator receives notifications about attribute modifications made by the recipient. The creator can review the modified message and its attributes, providing feedback that maintains awareness and control over message integrity while allowing adaptive modifications.
2Ease of operation
If the message recipient can re-transmit the message with modified attributes, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The computer system is designed with multi-functionality, serving as message intermediary, attribute verification authority, credential manager, and transmission coordinator all in one system. This universal approach consolidates complexity into a centralized platform while keeping individual user operations simple and intuitive.
3Measurement precision
If additional attributes such as identity or time stamps are added to the message, then the measurement precision is improved, but the loss of information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The message structure is segmented into distinct components: the original message content and the added attributes. This segmentation allows precise tracking of what was originally sent versus what was added later, maintaining clear boundaries between original information and supplementary data, thus preventing information loss while enabling precise measurement of message characteristics.

AI summary
A message creator encodes message information into an original message. The message creator transmits the original message to a message recipient via a first medium. The message recipient receives the original message and decodes the original message to extract the encoded message information. The message recipient adds and/or modifies an attribute of the original message and re-encodes the message information in a modified message. The computer system transmits the modified message as if it were transmitted from the message creator to the message recipient. One attribute that the message recipient may modify is the message medium. As a result, the modified message may be transmitted via a different medium than the original message.
