Network Node Grouping for Message Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing message transmission methods in telecommunications networks, particularly in GSM, GPRS, and UMTS mobile radio networks, are user-unfriendly and costly due to the need for separate entry of contact information for group communication and the requirement of individual message transmission to each recipient.
Innovation Solution
A method where a network node recognizes messages sent to multiple recipients with identical content, generates grouping information, and uses this information to forward messages efficiently, enabling cost-effective group communication without changes to terminal devices, and allowing immediate messaging between telecommunications and computer networks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If individual messages are sent to each message recipient with separate contact information entry, then message transmission reliability is ensured, but user convenience deteriorates and transmission costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual message transmissions into a single group message transmission. The network node identifies when a user sends messages to multiple recipients with identical content and automatically groups them, eliminating the need for separate contact information entry for each recipient. This combining approach improves user convenience while maintaining reliable message delivery to all group members.
Solution Approach 2:
The network node performs self-service by automatically detecting and grouping messages without requiring manual intervention from the user. The system autonomously identifies patterns in message transmission (same content, multiple recipients) and creates group communications automatically, freeing the user from manual contact information management while ensuring reliable delivery.
2Reliability
If individual messages are sent to each message recipient, then message delivery reliability is ensured, but transmission costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple individual message transmissions into a single group message transmission. By detecting when a user sends identical messages to multiple recipients and automatically grouping them, the system reduces the total number of transmissions while maintaining reliable delivery to all members through the network node's routing mechanisms.
3Ease of operation
If contact information for group members is entered separately, then message transmission accuracy is ensured, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The network node performs self-service by automatically detecting message patterns and creating group communications without requiring manual contact information management from the user. The system autonomously identifies when messages should be grouped and handles contact information management automatically, reducing the user's operational burden while maintaining accurate message delivery.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a method for transmitting messages in telecommunications networks (13) by means of a messaging service of a telecommunications network (13), wherein a network node of the telecommunications network (13) involved in the message transmission receives a message for each message receiver (6, 7, 8, 27) containing message content and information for contacting the message receiver (6, 7, 8, 27) in a telecommunications network (13), wherein the network node recognizes from the received messages that a message sender (1) sends at least two messages successively to different message receivers (6, 7, 8, 27) within a predefinable duration, and the length and/or content of the messages is recorded.If the message content is identical in length and/or content, information is generated for network-side grouping of the message sender (1) and the message receivers (6, 7, 8, 27), the messages are provided with the grouping information, and the messages are forwarded to the message receivers (6, 7, 8, 27) using the grouping information and the contact information of the respective message receivers (6, 7, 8, 27), whereby the contact information of the message sender (1) and/or a message receiver (6, 7, 8, 27) enables immediate message transmission in a network of computer networks such as the Internet or an intranet.
