Message Transportation Management via Priority Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Modern messaging services over-filter important and urgent messages, making it difficult for recipients to receive critical communications, as existing filtering methods are limited in determining message priority and often unknowable to senders or intermediaries.
Innovation Solution
A message transportation management system that uses reputation scores, affinity scores, and dynamic transport configurations to prioritize messages, ensuring high-priority messages are more likely to be viewed and interacted with by recipients, while also filtering out less relevant ones.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If modern messaging services apply filtering methods to reduce message volume, then the quantity of messages is reduced, but important and urgent messages are over-filtered and missed by recipients
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments messages into different priority levels (high-priority and standard-priority) based on reputation scores and transport configurations. High-priority messages are routed through priority transport locations with elevated reputation scores, while standard messages use default transport. This segmentation ensures important messages are not lost in the general filter while still reducing overall message volume through selective filtering of standard messages.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary classification mechanism that assigns reputation scores to messages based on source, content, and recipient factors. This intermediary scoring system acts as a mediator between the filtering system and message delivery, allowing the system to identify and protect important messages from over-filtering while maintaining reduction of unnecessary messages.
2Quantity of substance
If filtering criteria are made more stringent to reduce unnecessary messages, then message quality improves, but the number of important messages that get filtered out increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by calculating reputation scores and determining message priority before filtering decisions are made. By pre-classifying messages into high-priority and standard-priority categories based on reputation scores, the system ensures that important messages are identified and protected from stringent filtering that would otherwise eliminate them.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of message classification by introducing reputation scores as a new dimension for evaluating message importance. Instead of using single static filtering criteria, the system dynamically adjusts filtering behavior based on reputation score parameters, allowing stringent filtering for low-reputation messages while protecting high-reputation messages from filtering.
3Productivity
If the system prioritizes high-priority messages through separate transport channels, then message delivery effectiveness improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a transport configuration system where priority transport locations serve multiple functions: they act as both regular message relays and elevated-reputation channels. The same transport infrastructure handles both standard and priority messages, with the distinction made through configuration parameters rather than physically separate systems, thereby reducing overall complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamics by making transport configurations adjustable and changeable over time. Priority transport locations can be dynamically assigned to different message sources based on reputation scores, and the system can adapt transport routes as reputation scores change. This dynamic approach allows flexible prioritization without requiring rigid, complex fixed infrastructure for each scenario.
Data Source
AI summary
A message transportation management system can be configured to receive a message directed to a plurality of target message recipients. The system can determine a plurality of levels of activity, each corresponding to one of the plurality of target message recipients. The system can receive a level of activity threshold associated with each of the plurality of target message recipients. The system can determine that the first subgroup of target message recipients qualifies as priority target message recipients. The system can transmit, via a priority transfer location, the message to the first subgroup of target message recipients and transmit, via a default transfer location different from the priority transfer location, the message to a second subgroup of target message recipients.
