Proximity-Based Notification Sharing via Front-Line Units
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems fail to efficiently share electronic data, such as advertisements and rewards, with secondary users who are in close proximity to the primary user, as they are not targeted or customized, and typically require screenshots or tagging for sharing.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for generating and transmitting shareable electronic notification data via a hardware device network, where a front-line unit broadcasts a wireless signal to establish a connection with users in proximity, allowing reward data from a rewards database to be transmitted to user devices and shared with secondary users through established communicable links.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If electronic data is transmitted via internet browser or mobile application, then data can be delivered to user device, but sharing with secondary users requires screenshots or tagging and is not targeted or customized
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a messaging server as an intermediary that receives electronic data from a source, generates customized notification data for multiple users including secondary users, and distributes it through the hardware device network. This mediator enables automated sharing with proper targeting without requiring manual screenshots or tagging by the primary user.
2Adaptability or versatility
If electronic data is targeted based on user location using GPS information, then location-based targeting is achieved, but data cannot be shared with secondary users in the same geographic location
Solution Approach 1:
The messaging server performs multiple functions: it identifies primary users based on GPS location, determines secondary users associated with the primary user, and distributes customized notification data to both groups. This multi-functional approach enables both location-based targeting and automated sharing with secondary users without requiring separate systems.
3Adaptability or versatility
If unselective wireless signal is broadcasted to identify users in proximity, then connectivity is established, but data transmission efficiency may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system broadcasts unselective wireless signals to establish connectivity with all devices in proximity, but then applies local quality by customizing and directing specific notification data to specific users based on their identification and association relationships. This ensures efficient data transmission only to relevant users rather than broadcasting to all devices.
Data Source
AI summary
Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system and method for generating and transmitting shareable electronic notification data via a hardware device network. A non-transitory wireless signal is broadcasted from a front-line unit in a network of front-line units, and a user determined to be in proximity to the front-line unit receives via the wireless signal reward data from a database. Electronic notification data is transmitted to the user device, whereafter the electronic notification data is displayed and an option to share the reward data to a secondary user is provided. Once shared, the secondary user's user device establishes a connection to the front-line unit to receive the reward data from the rewards database.
