Solution Overview

Problem

Users experience message fatigue due to irrelevant or poorly timed messages, leading to reduced engagement and wasted resources in networked environments, as existing messaging systems fail to effectively select and transmit messages that achieve desired user interactions.

Innovation Solution

A messaging system that selects and transmits messages based on confidence values and cool down factors, adjusting message delivery timing and frequency based on user activity, preferences, and response data to optimize message relevance and effectiveness.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If messages are transmitted frequently to users, then user engagement opportunities increase, but message fatigue occurs and reduces message efficacy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidmessage fatigue
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically changes multiple parameters including confidence values, cool down factors, time since last message, message frequency, and user engagement metrics to optimize message delivery. By continuously adjusting these parameters based on real-time data, the system delivers messages at optimal frequencies that maintain engagement while preventing message fatigue

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback loops by monitoring user responses, engagement metrics, and message effectiveness. This feedback is used to adjust future message timing, frequency, and content, creating a closed-loop system that adapts to user behavior patterns and prevents message fatigue while maintaining high engagement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If personalized messaging is implemented to reduce message fatigue, then message relevance improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage relevanceVSAvoidmessaging system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-calculating confidence values, establishing cool down factors, and predicting optimal message timing before actual message delivery. This advance preparation reduces real-time computational complexity while maintaining high message relevance through pre-analyzed user patterns and preferences

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces intermediary components such as confidence value calculators, cool down factor adjusters, and message selection algorithms that mediate between raw user data and message delivery decisions. These intermediaries simplify the overall system architecture by breaking down complex personalization logic into manageable, modular components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of energy

If message transmission is optimized for relevance, then resource waste decreases, but message delivery timing precision must increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomputational resource wasteVSAvoidmessage delivery timing precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs dynamic adjustments to message delivery timing based on real-time user activity, engagement patterns, and contextual factors. By making the message delivery system dynamic rather than static, it achieves high timing precision without wasting resources on rigid, pre-scheduled transmissions that may not align with user availability or interest

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Users of personalized messaging systems can encounter message fatigue, thereby reducing the efficacy of a message on its intended recipient. Message fatigue can result in wasted computational resources and bandwidth as messages transmitted over a network to the user's client device are not acted upon at the client device. For applications involving desired user interactions and responses, personalized messaging can be a tool to achieve user engagement targets. The systems and methods presented herein may address several of the technical challenges with personalized messaging.
