Solution Overview

Problem

Current technologies lack a solution to determine if an individual has opted-in to receive digital communications and if a provided phone number is associated with a data-capable communication device, which is crucial for effective mobile marketing campaigns.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that utilize a CRM database and a digital content delivery engine to analyze customer profiles, determine opt-in status, identify data-capable communication devices, and transmit digital communications to qualified mobile phone numbers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If organizations transmit digital communications to all customers with phone numbers in their CRM database, then the quantity of communications sent increases, but compliance with opt-in requirements and device capability verification deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of communications sentVSAvoidcompliance with opt-in requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by analyzing customer profiles to determine opt-in status and screening phone numbers for data capability before transmitting communications. This pre-qualification process ensures that only customers who have opted in and possess data-capable devices receive digital communications, maintaining compliance while enabling targeted outreach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary screening process that acts as a mediator between the organization's communication system and the customer database. This intermediary layer analyzes profiles and verifies opt-in status and device capability, resolving the contradiction by filtering the customer base before communication transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If organizations implement profile analysis and phone number screening to verify opt-in status and device capability, then compliance and accuracy improve, but the complexity of the communication system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompliance with opt-in requirementsVSAvoidcomplexity of communication system
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system achieves multi-functionality by combining multiple capabilities into a unified communication system: profile analysis, opt-in status determination, phone number screening for data capability, and communication transmission. This universal approach handles all functions through integrated processes rather than separate systems, managing complexity while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-service by automatically analyzing customer profiles and screening phone numbers without requiring manual intervention. The automated processes determine opt-in status and verify device capability independently, reducing the need for complex manual verification procedures while maintaining high compliance standards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If organizations screen phone numbers to identify data-capable devices, then the accuracy of target audience identification improves, but the time required for communication preparation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of target audience identificationVSAvoidtime for communication preparation
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs phone number screening and device capability verification as preliminary actions before communication transmission. By pre-identifying data-capable devices and storing this information in customer profiles, the system eliminates the need for real-time verification during communication campaigns, reducing preparation time while maintaining high accuracy in target audience identification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
