Push Confirmation Server for Wireless Data Retry
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless data devices lack an automated method to confirm the successful delivery of pushed data and automatically retry delivery when it fails, leading to unreliable data transmission and an arduous manual process prone to errors.
Innovation Solution
A system that generates a tracking identifier for pushed data requests, parses log files to confirm delivery, and automatically resends data if delivery fails, using a push confirmation server and a push retry server to track and retry delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If automated confirmation and retry functionality is implemented, then data delivery reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a push confirmation server as an intermediary component that mediates between the push data server and wireless data devices. This server automatically monitors delivery status by parsing log files and coordinates retry operations, thereby improving reliability without significantly increasing the complexity of individual devices. The intermediary handles the complex automation logic centrally rather than distributing it across multiple components.
2Productivity
If manual retry process is used, then device complexity is reduced, but productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service automation where the push confirmation server autonomously monitors delivery status, identifies failed deliveries, and initiates retry operations without requiring manual user intervention. The server parses log files to determine delivery status and automatically reformulates and resubmits push requests for failed deliveries, thereby significantly improving productivity while keeping device complexity manageable through centralized automation.
3Reliability
If delivery confirmation is implemented, then data delivery reliability is improved, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by proactively monitoring delivery status through log file parsing before timeout periods expire. The push confirmation server continuously checks for delivery confirmation and initiates retry operations ahead of time, preventing complete delivery failures. This approach improves reliability by ensuring timely detection and correction of delivery issues while minimizing overall time loss through preventive rather than reactive measures.
Data Source
AI summary
A system for transmitting pushed data to a wireless data device generates a tracking identifier for a request for the pushed data and sends the request to a wireless data device server. The request includes the tracking ID and the wireless data device server includes a log file. The system parses the log file to extract confirmation data and determines whether the pushed data was successfully delivered based on the confirmation data. If the pushed data was not successfully delivered, the system will send a additional request for the pushed data to the wireless data device server.
