Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional mobile message delivery systems lack efficient reading record management and push notification resending capabilities, leading to difficulties in tracking unread messages and ensuring important messages are not missed, especially in corporate settings with numerous recipients.

Innovation Solution

A cloud-based system and method for enterprise mobile messages that create an unread list based on reading records, allowing for selective resending of push notifications to members who have not read the messages, utilizing a database, server, and push gateway to manage message delivery and reading states.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional push notification systems are used to deliver messages to multiple recipients, then message delivery is simple and quick, but there is no way to track reading status or resend to unread recipients

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage delivery reliabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by tracking reading status of push notifications. When a recipient opens or views the notification, the system records this status and enables the sender to identify which recipients have not read the message, allowing for targeted resending.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-tracking reading status before resending is needed. The reading status is monitored and recorded in advance, so when resending is required, the system already has the information about which recipients need to receive the notification again.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If push notifications are resent to all recipients, then important messages are more likely to be noticed, but unnecessary notifications are sent to those who have already read the message

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage delivery reliabilityVSAvoidnotification resource waste
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by differentiating treatment for different recipients based on their reading status. Instead of uniformly resending to all recipients, the system identifies and targets only those specific recipients who have not yet read the message, applying the resending action locally to the needed subset.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of notification delivery by using reading status as a conditional parameter. The decision to resend is based on the reading status parameter, transforming a blanket resend approach into a conditional, status-based resend strategy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If reading status tracking is implemented for all messages, then unread message tracking is accurate, but system complexity and data management burden increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereading status tracking accuracyVSAvoiddata management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service by automatically tracking and recording reading status without requiring manual intervention. The tracking mechanism operates autonomously, automatically updating the reading status when recipients interact with the notifications, reducing the data management burden.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

4Productivity

If selective resending to unread recipients is enabled, then notification efficiency is improved, but the system requires sophisticated tracking and selection mechanisms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage delivery efficiencyVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The selective resending capability is enabled through feedback mechanisms that provide real-time information about reading status. This feedback loop allows the system to make informed decisions about which notifications to resend, achieving high delivery efficiency through data-driven selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A system and method of an enterprise mobile message 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 delivers a message content in the form of a push notification through the push gateway and an external push host to the mobile communication device corresponding to a member. The server creates an unread list according to a reading record uploaded from the mobile communication device of the member. The server resends the push notification to the members selected from the unread list.
