Mobile Messaging Status Check Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The delayed delivery paradigm in electronic messaging services, such as SMS and email, leads to unpredictable message delivery times, resulting in messages being received when no longer necessary, causing unnecessary transmission costs and resource usage.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that determine the status of the destination device before transmitting a message, ensuring it is active and necessary, involving a distribution server for retransmission only when the device is active and the message is still required, with user confirmation options and automatic cancellation or modification possibilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If messages are sent using delayed delivery paradigm (SMS, email), then the author is not under pressure to submit the message until fully satisfied and the addressee will eventually receive the message, but the delivery time is unpredictable and messages may be received when no longer necessary
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by checking the destination device status before message transmission and establishing a delivery time window in advance. The originating device queries whether the destination device is active before sending, and only transmits if the device will be active within a predetermined time window, thus avoiding unpredictable delays and ensuring timely delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adapts the message transmission decision based on real-time device status information. Instead of static delayed delivery, the system continuously monitors destination device activity and adjusts transmission timing accordingly, sending messages only when the destination device is predicted to be active within the acceptable time window.
2Productivity
If messages are transmitted without checking destination device status, then transmission can be initiated immediately, but network resources are wasted and user costs increase due to unnecessary transmissions
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs a preliminary check of the destination device's active status before initiating message transmission. The originating device queries the destination device status and only proceeds with transmission if the device is active or will be active within a predetermined time window, thereby avoiding unnecessary transmissions and conserving network resources.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by querying the destination device status before transmission and using this information to decide whether to send the message. This feedback mechanism prevents wasteful transmissions by ensuring messages are only sent when the destination device is available to receive them, thus optimizing network resource usage.
3Loss of energy
If the system checks destination device status before transmission, then unnecessary transmissions are avoided and resources are conserved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces an intermediary status check mechanism between the message composition and transmission stages. The originating device acts as an intermediary that queries destination device status and mediates the transmission decision, adding a layer of complexity that optimizes resource usage by preventing unnecessary transmissions.
4Ease of operation
If messages are sent without verifying current need, then transmission is simple and fast, but user costs increase and privacy concerns arise
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary verification of message relevance by checking destination device status before transmission. This preliminary action ensures messages are only sent when the destination device is active and the message is still relevant, preventing waste of network resources and maintaining message importance.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from destination device status queries to determine whether to transmit the message. This feedback loop ensures that only relevant messages are sent when the destination device is available, maintaining message relevance and avoiding unnecessary transmissions that would waste resources and compromise privacy.

AI summary
A software program executable on a mobile telephone suitable to cause said telephone to interrogate a distant recipient telephone by means for example of JTAPI to determine whether the recipient telephone is turned on or not. In a case where it is determined that the recipient telephone is turned on, an SMS message is sent to the recipient telephone. In a case where the voice connection cannot be made it is determined that the recipient telephone is turned off, and a further attempt to make a voice connection is made after a predetermined period. Further attempts are made repeatedly until it is determined that the recipient telephone is turned on, and an SMS message is sent to the recipient telephone, or until sending of the SMS is cancelled by a user.
