Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face challenges in managing the volume and intensity of communications across multiple channels, leading to inefficiencies in responding to communication requests due to the vast demands of social and work-related activities.
Innovation Solution
A network-based messaging system with database management that includes throttle logic to limit message delivery, providing users with control over message transmission through server interfaces and user accounts, allowing for configuration of throttle settings to manage and prioritize communications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users receive all messages without limitation, then complete information delivery is achieved, but communication efficiency deteriorates due to excessive message volume
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server-side throttle logic as an intermediary between sender and recipient. This mediator monitors message transmission, applies throttling rules, and controls message delivery rates, thereby balancing complete information delivery with communication efficiency by preventing message flooding while ensuring all messages are eventually delivered.
2Productivity
If throttle logic is implemented to limit message delivery, then communication efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The throttle logic is implemented on the server rather than client devices, acting as a centralized intermediary. This approach improves communication efficiency through controlled message delivery while minimizing device complexity by concentrating the throttling functionality in a single location that manages multiple user communications.
Solution Approach 2:
The server-based throttle logic serves multiple users and communication channels simultaneously, providing a universal message control mechanism. This multi-functional approach achieves communication efficiency improvements across the entire system without requiring complex throttle implementations on each individual device.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple communication accounts are managed, then communication reach is expanded, but ease of operation deteriorates due to management burden
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple communication accounts and channels into a unified messaging system interface. Users can manage personal, business, and other communication streams through a single application with centralized throttle controls, expanding communication reach while simplifying account management by eliminating the need to switch between multiple applications or accounts.
