Communication Routing via Protocol-Independent Label Extraction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication devices lack flexibility in organizing and managing received character-based communications, such as SMS and email, which are processed based on transport layer protocols, making it burdensome for users to store and manage information across different protocols.
Innovation Solution
A method that processes electronic communications by identifying labels in the user data segment to route them to corresponding enhanced services application modules, regardless of the transport layer protocol, allowing for clear text extraction and storage, enabling better organization and management of user data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If received character-based communications are processed by applications corresponding to their transport layer communication protocols, then processing efficiency is improved, but user flexibility to organize information based on subject matter is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the processing system into two independent layers: a transport layer that handles protocol-specific processing efficiently, and an application layer that provides flexible, subject-based organization. The message data is divided into protocol-specific headers and universal body content, allowing each layer to operate independently according to its own rules.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal application layer that can handle multiple types of communications (SMS, email, instant messaging) through a single interface. This universal layer ignores transport protocol differences and organizes all communications by subject matter, providing multi-functional capability across different communication types.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users manually copy received character-based information to transfer it between files, then information organization flexibility is achieved, but the process becomes burdensome and time consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic routing and organization of communications based on subject matter keywords embedded in the message content. The application layer automatically extracts subject information, determines the appropriate file or folder for storage, and transfers the data without requiring user intervention, making the system self-organizing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary application layer that sits between the transport layer and the user's file system. This intermediary automatically processes incoming communications, extracts subject matter information, and routes messages to appropriate storage locations, eliminating the need for users to manually copy and transfer data.
3Productivity
If communications are stored in protocol-specific files, then processing efficiency is maintained, but cross-protocol information management becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent adds a new organizational dimension by storing communications in both protocol-specific locations and subject-based locations simultaneously. This multi-dimensional storage approach allows users to access messages by either their original protocol type or by their subject matter, providing flexible cross-protocol information management without sacrificing processing efficiency.
Data Source
AI summary
An exemplary method processes an electronic communication received by a first end-user communication device where the digital electronic communication is packet having a header segment and a user data segment conveyed to the first end-user communication device using one of a plurality of possible transport layer communication protocols. A determination is made whether the received user data segment contains a first label that identifies a corresponding module of an enhanced services application program stored in memory of the first end-user communication device. On determining that a first label is contained in the user data segment, routing the received user data segment to the first module of the first enhanced services application program regardless of which one of the plurality of possible transport layer communication protocols carried the electronic communication to the first end-user communication device. The received user data segment is processed by the first module and clear text information extracted from the user data segment is stored in the memory.
