Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless communication, users face inefficiencies due to the need to switch between applications to view messages, leading to delayed information reception and disrupted user experiences, particularly in smart devices with various communication methods and applications.

Innovation Solution

An information sending method and apparatus that determines a forwarding policy based on the state information of the receiver device, such as application and system states, to forward information without altering the current state, thereby improving user experience by optimizing message delivery formats and modes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users switch between different applications to view messages, then they can access information from multiple applications, but user experience deteriorates and communication efficiency reduces

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess to informationVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a message management system that acts as an intermediary, aggregating messages from multiple applications into a unified interface. This mediator consolidates communication across different apps, allowing users to access information without switching applications, thereby maintaining versatility while improving ease of operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges message delivery mechanisms across multiple applications into a single unified message center. By combining scattered communication channels into one integrated system, users can access all messages in one location, eliminating the need to switch between applications while preserving access to information from all sources

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Loss of information

If users switch between applications to check messages, then they can view information, but message reception is delayed and communication efficiency reduces

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation receptionVSAvoidcommunication efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements continuous message delivery and notification mechanisms that operate independently of user application usage. Messages are delivered continuously to a centralized location, and notifications are pushed automatically, ensuring information reception occurs without interruption regardless of which application the user is currently using, thereby maintaining continuous communication flow

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The unified message center serves as an intermediary that continuously receives and manages messages from all applications. This mediator ensures messages are captured and delivered promptly without requiring users to actively check each application, reducing information loss and improving communication efficiency by decoupling message delivery from user application switching behavior

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If messages are delivered to multiple devices, then information availability increases, but determining the appropriate delivery method becomes complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation availabilityVSAvoidforwarding policy complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service mechanisms where the message management system automatically determines optimal delivery policies based on device states and user preferences. The system autonomously selects which devices to forward messages to and in what format, eliminating the need for complex manual configuration while ensuring information reaches appropriate devices, thereby maintaining high information availability without increasing user-facing complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

An information sending method and an information sending apparatus are provided, which relate to the field of wireless communication processing technologies. A method includes receiving target information sent to at least one target receiving device by a sender, and determining, according to state information of a receiver device corresponding to the at least one target receiving device, a forwarding policy of forwarding the target information to the receiver device. A sending policy can be determined according to state information of a receiver device, so that a receiver acquires information as much as it does not change a current state, thereby improving user experience of the receiver.
