Mobile Message Reception via Dynamic IP and SMS Push Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mobile messaging systems are inefficient in managing battery life due to the push client remaining always turned on, leading to reduced usable time of mobile terminals, as turning off the push function does not effectively address the battery consumption issue.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method that allow mobile message reception through either IP push or SMS push, enabling the selection of a method to extend battery life, with a module to determine and set the notification reception method, allowing the push client to be turned off while still receiving notifications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the push client remains always turned on to receive real-time message notifications, then message reception reliability is improved, but battery consumption increases and usable time decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between IP push mode (with push client on) and SMS push mode (with push client off) based on user presence and network conditions. The push client transitions from always-on to conditionally-on state, optimizing battery usage while maintaining message reception capability through alternative SMS-based notification mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the operational parameters of the push client by switching between two distinct modes: IP push mode where the push client is active and SMS push mode where it is inactive. This parameter change (active/inactive state) directly addresses the contradiction by allowing the system to maintain reliability when needed while conserving energy during normal operation.
2Duration of action of moving object
If the push client is turned off to extend battery life, then battery usable time is improved, but real-time message notification capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The SMS push server acts as an intermediary between the message sending system and the mobile terminal when the push client is off. Instead of direct IP push notification, the system uses SMS messages as an intermediate notification mechanism to wake up the terminal and enable message reception, thus maintaining capability while saving battery.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically activates the push client only when necessary (when user is present and IP push is selected) and deactivates it during normal operation. This dynamic on/off switching extends battery usable time while ensuring real-time notification capability is available when the push client is active.
3Use of energy by moving object
If the setting function turns off the IM client to save battery, then battery consumption is reduced, but the push client remains on and battery saving effect is insignificant
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the push client functionality from the IM client and makes it independently controllable. By separating these functions, the system can turn off the push client entirely when using SMS push mode, achieving significant battery savings that were not possible when the push client remained coupled with and active alongside the IM client.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables dynamic control of the push client state independent of the IM client. Users can configure the system to turn off the push client and use SMS push instead, creating a dynamic configuration option that achieves real battery saving effects, unlike the static setting where push client remained on.

AI summary
A method and apparatus for receiving a mobile message are provided. The apparatus includes a Mobile Messaging (MM) client configured to receive the mobile message based on an Internet Protocol (IP) push manner; a Short Messaging Service (SMS) client configured to receive the mobile message based on SMS push manner; and a module configured to select one of the IP push manner and the SMS manner as a manner for receiving the mobile message.
