Solution Overview

Problem

Existing multimedia messaging systems face inefficiencies in transmitting and receiving multimedia messages due to large data sizes, particularly in regions with poor network conditions, leading to delayed or failed transmissions, and unnecessary resource consumption.

Innovation Solution

A method that analyzes contextual information from both sender and receiver terminals to determine the type of data to transmit, such as original multimedia data or previews, based on network states and user interactions, optimizing data transmission and reception.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If original multimedia data is transmitted to ensure complete message delivery, then message completeness is improved, but transmission time and network resource consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemessage completenessVSAvoidtransmission time

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments multimedia message transmission into multiple stages: first transmitting a notification containing preview information, then conditionally transmitting the original multimedia data based on receiver feedback and network conditions. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by separating the urgent notification delivery from the non-urgent data transfer.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary actions by sending a notification with preview information before transmitting the actual multimedia data. This allows the receiver to assess whether the full data is needed, enabling conditional transmission that saves time when the preview suffices.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If original multimedia data is transmitted to ensure message completeness, then message completeness is improved, but network resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemessage completenessVSAvoidnetwork resource consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by transmitting only the necessary portion of multimedia data. Instead of always sending complete original data, the system sends previews first and only transmits full data when explicitly requested, avoiding excessive network resource consumption while maintaining message completeness when needed.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses preview copies of multimedia data instead of original data for initial transmission. These preview copies consume minimal network resources while providing sufficient information for most communication scenarios, reserving original data transmission only when necessary.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

3Loss of energy

If multimedia message transmission is delayed to optimize network usage, then network resource efficiency is improved, but message delivery timeliness deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenetwork resource efficiencyVSAvoidmessage delivery timeliness

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of energyVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the message delivery process into immediate notification transmission and deferred data transmission. The notification is sent immediately to ensure timeliness, while the actual multimedia data transmission is optimized based on network conditions, resolving the contradiction between immediate delivery and efficient resource usage.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

4Productivity

If context analysis is performed to optimize data transmission, then transmission efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetransmission efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the receiver analyzes preview information and provides explicit feedback (acceptance or request for original data). This feedback-driven approach enables context-aware transmission optimization without requiring complex predictive algorithms, balancing transmission efficiency with manageable system complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Provided is a method performed by a computer apparatus for providing a multimedia message including receiving a request for transmitting a multimedia message to a receiver terminal from a sender terminal, determining a first context by analyzing first contextual information collected from each of the sender terminal and the receiver terminal, determining a first type of data to be received from the sender terminal and a second type of data to be transmitted to the receiver terminal based on the determined first context, both the first type of data and the second type of data being based on original multimedia data included in the multimedia message, and processing the request for transmitting the multimedia message by receiving the determined first type of data from the sender terminal, and transmitting the determined second type of data to the receiver terminal.
