Solution Overview

Problem

Current communication systems lack efficient methods for controlling and managing interaction addresses, leading to privacy concerns and inefficient communication management, particularly in handling incoming and outgoing communications across different networks and platforms.

Innovation Solution

The system provides a method for controlled reciprocating communication by associating private interaction addresses with manageable public interaction addresses, allowing for management of communication settings, such as revoking, suspending, or renaming public interaction addresses, and generating reverse list entries to determine interaction addresses and manage communication preferences.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If users expose their private interaction addresses for communication, then communication efficiency is improved, but privacy protection deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication efficiencyVSAvoidprivacy exposure
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces a public interaction address as an intermediary between the user's private interaction address and external communication requests. The public address serves as a buffer that allows users to receive communications without exposing their private address, thereby maintaining both communication efficiency and privacy protection simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The interaction address is segmented into two distinct types: private interaction addresses for actual communication and public interaction addresses for exposure. This segmentation allows the system to separate the functions of communication efficiency (handled by private addresses) and privacy protection (handled by public addresses), resolving the contradiction between these two requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If users manage multiple interaction addresses across different networks, then communication versatility is improved, but system complexity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication versatilityVSAvoidaddress management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a universal address management mechanism that works across multiple communication networks and platforms. The public interaction address serves as a network-agnostic entry point that can route communications through different networks (PSTN, mobile, internet) without requiring users to manage separate addresses for each network, thereby achieving versatility without proportional complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically performs address resolution and routing operations without requiring manual user intervention. When a communication request arrives at a public interaction address, the system automatically resolves the corresponding private interaction address and routes the communication, eliminating the need for users to manually manage complex address mappings across different networks

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Systems and method for controlled pre-interaction are disclosed. The method of performing controlled pre-interaction includes: providing at least one private interaction address, defining at least one manageable public interaction address, forming a record of manageable public interaction address associated with the private interaction address. The method of performing controlled pre-interaction further includes: generating a reverse list, wherein an interaction address of a participant is associated at least with the manageable public interaction address, and performing at least one pre-interaction act. A pre-interaction act includes: accessing the reverse list, identifying the interaction address of the participant in the reverse list, and determining that the manageable public interaction address is associated, at the reverse list, with the interaction address of the participant.
