Mobile Email Data Reference System Bandwidth Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile devices require excessive network bandwidth and battery power to share and receive data between data applications and email systems, as they typically involve copying and pasting data, which is inefficient and resource-intensive.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a system where data applications can directly access the email system by using reference identifiers stored on a shared data server, reducing the need for data transfer over the air and allowing synchronization to retrieve the actual data content when needed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If data is copied and pasted between data application and email application, then data sharing functionality is achieved, but network bandwidth consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential identifying information (reference numbers, subject lines, sender/receiver data) from the complete email data, rather than transferring the entire email content. This selective extraction of critical identification elements enables data sharing functionality while dramatically reducing the quantity of data transmitted over the network.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates simplified reference copies of email data that contain only the necessary identification elements (reference numbers, subjects, senders, receivers) rather than copying the complete email content. These reference copies serve as proxies that enable data sharing while minimizing network bandwidth consumption.
2Adaptability or versatility
If data is transferred over the air from wireless gateway, then data receiving functionality is achieved, but battery power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential identifying information from complete email data before transmission. By transmitting only reference numbers, subjects, and basic metadata rather than full email content, the system enables data receiving functionality while significantly reducing the energy required for wireless data transmission.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates and transmits simplified reference copies instead of complete data copies. These reference copies contain minimal information necessary for identification and routing, enabling the mobile device to receive and manage email references with minimal battery power consumption.
3Loss of information
If complete data is sent over the air, then data completeness is ensured, but network bandwidth is consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the essential identifying elements (reference numbers, subjects, senders, receivers) that preserve the core information needed for data identification and retrieval. This extraction process ensures that the critical information necessary for data completeness is maintained while eliminating redundant data that would consume network bandwidth.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates reference copies that contain the essential identifying information needed to locate and retrieve complete data on the server. These references preserve the functional completeness needed for data management while using minimal network bandwidth for transmission.
4Adaptability or versatility
If data is copied and pasted manually, then data sharing is achieved, but operational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the data application and email application into a unified system where data can be shared directly between applications without manual copying and pasting. The integrated architecture automatically generates and transmits email references from the data application, eliminating the need for manual data manipulation and simplifying the user operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs automatic generation and transmission of email references without requiring manual user intervention for copying and pasting. The data application automatically creates the necessary email reference data and initiates transmission, allowing the system to serve itself and reducing the operational burden on the user.
