Message Service System Dynamic Infrastructure Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing message service systems are inefficient in processing message transmission requests as they often rely on specific infrastructure, such as MMS, and fail to optimize costs when transmitting short messages, limiting flexibility and increasing expenses.
Innovation Solution
A message service method and system that receive message transmission requests, extract message elements, and select the appropriate transmission infrastructure (SMS or MMS) based on message content and information, allowing for cost-effective transmission through a unified interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the MMS infrastructure is used for all message transmissions, then message service coverage is improved, but transmission costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically changes the transmission infrastructure selection based on message parameters (type, content, destination terminal capabilities) and service requirements, switching between SMS and MMS infrastructures to optimize both coverage and cost
Solution Approach 2:
The message service system implements dynamic infrastructure selection rather than static reliance on MMS, adapting the transmission path in real-time based on message characteristics and network conditions to balance coverage and cost efficiency
2Adaptability or versatility
If a unified interface is implemented for message transmission, then service flexibility is improved, but infrastructure selection complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The message service system acts as an intermediary layer between the unified application interface and multiple transmission infrastructures, handling the complexity of infrastructure selection internally while presenting a simplified interface to service applications
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a universal message service interface that can handle multiple message types and route to different infrastructures, making the interface multi-functional while managing complexity through standardized protocols and procedures
3Loss of energy
If SMS infrastructure is used for short messages, then transmission cost is reduced, but service coverage is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the transmission infrastructure parameter based on message parameters, selecting SMS for cost-effective short messages and MMS for messages requiring broader coverage or multimedia capabilities
Solution Approach 2:
The message service system segments the transmission task by message type and characteristics, routing different message categories through appropriate infrastructures (SMS for text, MMS for multimedia) to optimize both cost and coverage

AI summary
The present invention relates to a message service method and a message service system. The message service method receives a message and a message transmission request from an open service application user and transmits the message to an appropriate transmission infrastructure such that the message arrives at a destination terminal. To achieve this, the message service system includes an open service application server which sends the message and the message transmission request, an open service gateway which reconstructs the message as one of a short message, a WAP Push message and a multimedia message through message analysis, and transmission infrastructures which transmits messages.
