Solution Overview

Problem

Current message pushing technologies lack efficiency as they send messages to all registered users without screening, resulting in inefficiency and resource waste, especially since some users may be offline, and do not accurately target active users for promotions.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for message pushing that utilize a forecast model, such as the C5.0 decision tree algorithm, to identify and select messages for specific target user groups based on user attributes like daily game rounds and login times, ensuring messages are only sent to active users, thereby improving resource utilization and promotional accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If messages are sent to all registered users without screening, then message coverage is maximized, but resource efficiency deteriorates and offline users are wasted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage coverageVSAvoidresource efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary classification of users into active and inactive groups before message pushing. By pre-screening users based on their activity status, the system avoids wasting resources on offline users while ensuring active users receive messages, thus resolving the contradiction between coverage and efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The user base is segmented into different groups (active users and inactive users) based on their online status. This segmentation allows the system to apply different message pushing strategies to different groups, sending messages only to active users to improve resource efficiency while maintaining effective coverage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Quantity of substance

If messages are sent to all registered users, then promotional reach is maximized, but message precision deteriorates due to lack of user screening

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepromotional reachVSAvoidmessage precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary classification of users into active and inactive groups before message pushing. By pre-screening users based on their activity status, the system avoids wasting resources on offline users while ensuring active users receive messages, thus resolving the contradiction between coverage and efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The user base is segmented into different groups (active users and inactive users) based on their online status. This segmentation allows the system to apply different message pushing strategies to different groups, sending messages only to active users to improve resource efficiency while maintaining effective coverage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Speed

If full push approach is used after message screening, then message delivery speed is maintained, but resource waste increases due to sending to offline users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage delivery speedVSAvoidresource waste
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary classification of users into active and inactive groups before message pushing. By pre-screening users based on their activity status, the system avoids wasting resources on offline users while ensuring active users receive messages, thus resolving the contradiction between coverage and efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of performing a full push to all users, the system applies partial action by sending messages only to the screened active user group. This partial approach eliminates waste on offline users while maintaining delivery speed for the target audience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Systems and methods are provided for pushing messages. For example, upon receiving a push trigger message, one or more first user identifiers corresponding to the push trigger message are acquired; in response to the acquired first user identifiers being in a predetermined target user group, one or more first push messages are selected based on at least information associated with a first promotion type of the target user group; and the first push messages are pushed based on at least information associated with the first user identifiers, wherein the target user group includes a plurality of second user identifiers and is generated by statistical processing of first user attributes of registered user identifiers based on at least information associated with a predetermined first forecast model.
