Multimedia Message Frame Segmentation for Recipient-Specific Content
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In mobile communication systems, users face difficulties in transmitting multimedia messages to multiple recipients with varying content, as existing technologies require compiling individual messages for each recipient, which is cumbersome and inefficient, especially for long messages.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method that generate multimedia messages in multiple frames with recipient identification and authorization, allowing for differentiated content transmission to each recipient, using a portable terminal and message server that process and transmit messages with frame-specific information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a user transmits individual messages to multiple recipients, then each recipient receives tailored content, but the user must compile and transmit multiple separate messages which is time-consuming and cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The message is divided into multiple frames, where each frame can contain different content tailored to specific recipients. The message generation unit creates a plurality of frames with differentiated content, allowing a single transmission operation to deliver customized messages to multiple recipients simultaneously, thus resolving the contradiction between customization and time consumption
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple individual messages that would traditionally need to be compiled and transmitted separately are merged into a single transmission operation. The message generation unit combines multiple frames with different content into one message structure that can be transmitted simultaneously to multiple recipients, reducing the time and effort required
2Productivity
If the same message is transmitted to multiple recipients, then transmission efficiency is improved, but the system cannot distinguish and deliver differentiated content to each recipient
Solution Approach 1:
The message structure is segmented into multiple frames, each capable of containing different content. The message generation unit creates frames with differentiated content for different recipients while maintaining a unified message structure that can be transmitted efficiently as a single operation, thus achieving both transmission efficiency and content differentiation
Solution Approach 2:
Different frames within the message structure have different local qualities - each frame can contain content tailored to specific recipients. The message generation unit assigns different content to different frames based on recipient requirements, allowing the system to maintain high transmission efficiency while providing localized customization for each recipient
3Adaptability or versatility
If multimedia messages are transmitted to multiple recipients, then the usage frequency of portable terminals increases, but generating individual multimedia messages for each recipient is difficult and cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The multimedia message is segmented into multiple frames that can be independently configured with different content. The message generation unit divides the multimedia message into frames, allowing users to easily assign different multimedia content to different frames for different recipients without having to create entirely new messages from scratch, thus improving ease of generation while maintaining versatility
Solution Approach 2:
The message generation unit provides a universal interface and structure that can handle multiple types of multimedia content (text, image, audio, video) within a single transmission operation. This multi-functional approach allows users to transmit differentiated multimedia messages to multiple recipients using the same process, eliminating the need to create separate messages for each recipient
