Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for delivering advertisements and information to mobile devices are inefficient, as users are charged for data delivery, not all devices can receive multimedia content, and push methods are disruptive and time-consuming, often resulting in spam.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for interactive delivery of data content to mobile devices, including a mobile originated message processing module, a mobile terminated message dispatching module, an agent originated message processing module, an agent terminated message dispatching module, and a media message router module, which can parse rich media messages into text SMS for devices that only support text, and transmit via HTTP or SMS formats.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If information is pushed onto mobile devices using conventional methods, then information delivery is achieved, but users experience disruption and information overload

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation delivery efficiencyVSAvoiduser disruption and information overload
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by monitoring user interactions with delivered information and adjusting future delivery strategies accordingly. The server tracks which users engage with which types of content and uses this feedback to optimize information delivery timing, frequency, and targeting, thereby reducing disruption while maintaining delivery effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The information delivery system is made dynamic by allowing real-time adjustment of delivery parameters based on user behavior patterns. The system can adapt delivery timing, content selection, and frequency dynamically according to user preferences and engagement levels, transforming a static push model into a flexible, user-responsive system that minimizes disruption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Loss of information

If users pull information by navigating through multiple links or web pages, then information retrieval is achieved, but users consume excessive time and effort

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation retrieval completenessVSAvoidtime and effort for navigation
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-fetching and preparing information before users request it. Based on predicted user needs and contextual data, the server prepares relevant information in advance and delivers it proactively, eliminating the need for users to navigate through multiple pages to find information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary layer (the intelligent server) between users and information sources. This intermediary automatically retrieves, processes, and delivers relevant information to users based on their preferences and contextual needs, eliminating the manual navigation process while ensuring complete information retrieval.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If advertisements are delivered to mobile devices, then commercial information delivery is achieved, but users are charged for data delivery

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertisement delivery efficiencyVSAvoiduser data charges
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system makes the advertisement delivery mechanism universal by supporting multiple communication protocols and delivery methods (SMS, MMS, email, push notifications). This multi-functionality allows the system to deliver advertisements through channels that may not incur data charges for users, such as traditional SMS, thereby maintaining delivery efficiency while reducing user costs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

4Loss of information

If multimedia data content is delivered to mobile devices, then rich advertising content is achieved, but not all mobile devices can receive such content

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemultimedia content richnessVSAvoiddevice compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by delivering different types and qualities of content based on the specific capabilities of each receiving device. Users with advanced devices receive rich multimedia content, while users with basic devices receive simplified text or image content. This localized adaptation ensures optimal content quality for each user without compromising overall system versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes content parameters (format, resolution, file size, complexity) based on the receiving device's capabilities. By dynamically adjusting these parameters, the system delivers rich multimedia content to capable devices while ensuring compatibility with basic devices, thereby resolving the contradiction between content richness and device adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Method and system for interactive delivery of data content to mobile devices are disclosed. The method includes receiving a rich media message to be transmitted to a mobile device, where the rich media message includes multimedia data, determining a mode of data communication of the mobile device, parsing the rich media message into one or more text SMS (short message service) messages in response to a determination that the mobile device is capable of processing only text SMS messages, and transmitting the one or more text SMS messages to the mobile device.
