Solution Overview

Problem

Existing mobile communication systems lack effective methods to deliver targeted content and coordinate actions among mobile device users based on their social communities, limiting personalized marketing and information sharing.

Innovation Solution

A system that detects communication sessions on mobile devices, determines context parameters, and delivers relevant content, while also coordinating actions among users within user communities through a concurrency application server and client library, enabling notifications and interactions based on social community triggers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If mobile communication systems deliver generic content to all users, then system simplicity is maintained, but personalized content delivery and marketing effectiveness deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalized content deliveryVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments users into communities based on social relationships and interests, allowing personalized content delivery to specific groups rather than treating all users uniformly. This segmentation enables targeted marketing while managing complexity through group-based approaches.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining user communities and their characteristics before content delivery. Context parameters are predetermined for each community, allowing personalized content to be delivered efficiently without real-time complex analysis for each user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of information

If the system monitors and detects communication sessions to determine context parameters, then personalized content delivery improves, but processing time and system resource consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontext information accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Context parameters are determined and stored in advance for each user community based on typical communication patterns. When a communication session is detected, the system retrieves pre-determined context parameters rather than analyzing the entire session in real-time, reducing processing time while maintaining information accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs partial analysis by focusing on key context parameters relevant to content delivery rather than monitoring all aspects of communication sessions. This selective approach maintains sufficient context information accuracy while minimizing processing time and resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Ease of operation

If the system coordinates actions among all mobile device users, then user engagement improves, but system complexity and notification overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidcoordination system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system coordinates actions within segmented user communities rather than across all users globally. This localization of coordination reduces system complexity by limiting the scope of notifications and interactions to relevant community members only, while still improving engagement through targeted coordination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces a concurrency application server as an intermediary that manages coordination within communities. This intermediary handles the complexity of action coordination centrally, simplifying the overall system architecture while enabling effective user engagement through managed notifications and interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Loss of information

If the system sends notifications to community members based on detected actions, then information sharing effectiveness improves, but network traffic and energy consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation sharing effectivenessVSAvoidnetwork energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

Notifications are sent only to segmented community members relevant to the detected action rather than broadcasting to all users. This targeted approach improves information sharing effectiveness by ensuring notifications reach the right audience while reducing overall network traffic and energy consumption compared to universal notifications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs partial notification by sending alerts only for actions that are relevant to specific community contexts rather than notifying about all user actions universally. This selective notification approach maintains information sharing effectiveness for important events while minimizing unnecessary network traffic and energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Techniques are provided for delivering content to mobile communication devices related to interactions of members with a user community. The method involves detecting a communication session involving a mobile communication device; determining one or more context parameters associated with the communication session; and delivering content related to the context parameters to one or more mobile communication devices. Data is stored at a central computing entity that indicates association or membership of a plurality of mobile communication device users in a user community. The central computing entity detects when an action is taken by one mobile device user that is a member of the user community, and sends a notification to members of the social circle based on the detected action. These techniques allow individuals who are involved in a user community to maintain their interaction with the user community using their mobile communication devices.
