Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication systems face challenges in verifying message delivery and processing, particularly in dynamic environments with mobile entities, where factors like lighting, topography, and obscuring objects complicate the determination of message reception and processing.

Innovation Solution

A verification system that utilizes communication interfaces, processing circuitry, and databases to construct viewsheds, account for obstructions, and analyze receiver behavior to determine message delivery and processing, employing probabilistic models and confirmation techniques.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional message transmission systems are used in mobile environments, then communication coverage is achieved, but verification of message delivery and processing cannot be reliably determined

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage delivery verificationVSAvoidmessage processing confirmation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the verification system receives receiver behavior data and viewshed information, processes this feedback through probabilistic models, and generates delivery verification results that are returned to messaging systems, enabling continuous improvement of delivery accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The verification system acts as an intermediary between the message transmission system and the mobile receivers, collecting viewshed data and receiver behavior information, processing it through probabilistic models, and providing verification services without disrupting the core message transmission function

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If viewshed analysis and environmental factor consideration are implemented, then message delivery accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage delivery determination accuracyVSAvoidverification system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-collecting and storing viewshed information, environmental data, and receiver behavior patterns in databases before actual message verification is needed, allowing the verification process to query pre-processed data rather than computing everything in real-time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The verification system is segmented into distinct functional modules: viewshed analysis module, receiver behavior analysis module, probabilistic modeling module, and verification report generation module, allowing each to be developed, maintained, and optimized independently

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If probabilistic models and multiple data sources are used to verify message processing, then verification accuracy is enhanced, but data processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage processing verificationVSAvoidverification processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-processes and stores receiver behavior data, viewshed information, and environmental factors in databases before verification is needed, so that during actual verification, the system only needs to query and combine pre-processed data rather than collecting and analyzing raw data in real-time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies probabilistic models selectively based on the specific verification scenario and available data, using the minimum necessary computational effort to achieve sufficient verification accuracy rather than always applying the most comprehensive analysis

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
