Notification Transmission Control for Wasteful Data Suppression
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication systems face inefficiencies in transmitting notification information, leading to wasteful transmissions when messages are not opened or displayed on the recipient's terminal, resulting in unnecessary resource consumption and load on servers.
Innovation Solution
A control method and apparatus that monitor the reception of notification information by analyzing the reception ratio and only transmit anew if the information is confirmed received and displayed on the terminal, suppressing wasteful transmissions by determining whether the terminal-side application is installed and active, and adjusting based on importance levels.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If notification information is transmitted continuously to ensure delivery, then the reliability of message delivery is improved, but the resource consumption and network load increase due to wasteful retransmissions
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where the terminal apparatus sends notification information back to the information processing apparatus to confirm receipt. The information processing apparatus maintains transmission history and compares current transmission requests against this history, only transmitting when necessary based on the feedback received, thereby eliminating wasteful retransmissions while ensuring reliable delivery
Solution Approach 2:
The information processing apparatus performs preliminary checks by maintaining a transmission history database before transmitting notification information. It checks whether the notification has already been transmitted and whether the terminal has confirmed receipt, making advance decisions about whether transmission is necessary, thus preventing unnecessary transmissions before they occur
2Reliability
If notification information is transmitted frequently to ensure the terminal receives it, then the message delivery completeness is improved, but the network load and server processing burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal apparatus transmits feedback information to the information processing apparatus to notify it when notification information has been received and displayed. The information processing apparatus uses this feedback to update its transmission history and avoid redundant transmissions, thereby reducing network load and server processing burden while maintaining complete message delivery
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of continuously transmitting notification information excessively, the system transmits only when necessary based on the transmission history check and feedback reception status. This partial action approach ensures complete delivery without the overhead of excessive transmissions, improving system efficiency
3Speed
If the system transmits notification information without checking transmission status, then the transmission speed is improved, but the wasteful retransmission rate increases
Solution Approach 1:
The information processing apparatus performs a preliminary check of the transmission history database before transmitting notification information. It quickly determines whether transmission is necessary by checking if the notification has been sent before and whether feedback was received, enabling fast decision-making that prevents wasteful retransmissions without significantly slowing down the transmission process

AI summary
A communication system and a control method are provided, which are capable of suppressing wasteful transmission of notification information. To this end, in a case where predetermined information is not received despite that notification information has been transmitted, this problem is solved by providing an information processing apparatus having a control unit configured to perform control so that the notification information is not transmitted anew.
