Mobile Bulletin Board Message Prioritization via Cloud Push Gateway
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mobile message delivery technologies fail to prioritize and conspicuously display important bulletin board messages on mobile communication devices, leading to missed important notifications due to lack of attribute-based display configuration and round-robin prioritization.
Innovation Solution
A cloud-based system and method that utilizes a database, server, and push gateway to store bulletin board messages with attributes determining their display position, enabling important messages to be displayed prominently and automatically cycled through a priority block on mobile devices, ensuring high-priority messages are conspicuous among numerous messages.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional mobile message delivery technology is used, then messages can be delivered to mobile devices, but important messages cannot be prioritized or conspicuously displayed among numerous messages
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by creating a dedicated priority display block with distinct visual characteristics (different background color, positioned at the top of the screen) to highlight important messages. This separates the display treatment for important messages from regular messages, ensuring important information stands out locally rather than being lost in the general message list.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the message display area into two distinct parts: a priority display block for important messages and a regular display area for other messages. This segmentation allows important messages to be visually separated and prioritized, solving the problem of important messages being lost among numerous regular messages.
2Ease of operation
If all messages are displayed in a single queue, then all messages can be viewed, but important messages may be missed due to lack of prioritization
Solution Approach 1:
The message display is segmented into priority and non-priority sections. The priority display block is positioned at the top and contains only important messages, while regular messages are displayed below. This segmentation ensures important messages are never missed while maintaining ease of viewing for all messages.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically identifying and prioritizing important messages before they are displayed to the user. Messages are evaluated against priority criteria (sender authority, message type, time sensitivity) and placed in the priority display block in advance, so users immediately see important information without having to search through all messages.
3Device complexity
If messages are displayed without attribute-based configuration, then simple display is maintained, but important messages cannot be distinguished from regular messages
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by assigning specific visual attributes (priority display block with distinct styling) to messages based on their priority attributes. The display configuration is enhanced locally for important messages while maintaining simple display for regular messages, thus preserving overall simplicity while enabling priority distinction.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes display parameters (position, background color, block size) based on message attributes. Important messages are displayed with modified parameters in the priority block, while regular messages use default parameters. This parameter-based differentiation allows automatic distinction of important messages without significantly increasing system complexity.
4Productivity
If push notifications are sent for all messages, then all messages can be notified, but notification overload occurs and important messages are not highlighted
Solution Approach 1:
The notification system is segmented to treat important and regular messages differently. Push notifications are sent for all messages to maintain comprehensive coverage, but important messages receive additional treatment by being placed in the priority display block with visual highlighting, ensuring they stand out among notified messages.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies local quality to notifications by providing enhanced visual treatment (priority display block, distinct styling) for important messages while using standard notification treatment for regular messages. This ensures all messages are notified but important ones are prominently highlighted to prevent information loss.
Data Source
AI summary
A system and method of making messages remain on top of a mobile bulletin board are provided. The system includes a database, a server, a push gateway, and a mobile communication device. A cloud is composed of the database, the server, and the push gateway. The server generates a bulletin board message. The bulletin board message is delivered as a push notification to the mobile communication device of a corresponding member through the push gateway and an external push server, such that the bulletin board message is made compulsory remain-on-top displayed on the mobile communication device.
