Solution Overview

Problem

In Point to Multipoint (PTM) push message processing, existing technologies waste network resources by requiring the DM server to maintain and transmit large amounts of address information for multiple target terminals, which is inefficient and can compromise user privacy.

Innovation Solution

A method and system where a Push message includes indication information, allowing the Push Proxy Gateway (PPG) to map and send push content to target terminals based on this information, eliminating the need to carry extensive address information in the message, thereby conserving network resources and ensuring user privacy by not storing terminal addresses.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the DM server maintains and transmits address information of multiple target terminals in PTM push messages, then the push messages can be delivered to multiple terminals, but network resources are wasted due to the large amount of address information being transmitted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepush message delivery efficiencyVSAvoidnetwork resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the address information from the push message content and handles it separately through mapping. Instead of including full address information in the push message, the system uses indication information to reference addresses stored in the PPG, thereby removing the burden of transmitting large amounts of address data through the network.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The PPG acts as an intermediary between the DM server and target terminals. It maintains the mapping between indication information and actual address information, allowing the DM server to send compact push messages while the PPG resolves the actual addresses for delivery. This intermediary role eliminates the need for the DM server to handle or transmit extensive address information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the DM server carries extensive address information in push messages, then all target terminals can be addressed, but user privacy is compromised due to storage and transmission of terminal addresses

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to address multiple terminalsVSAvoiduser privacy exposure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts address information from the push message transmission process and stores it separately in the PPG's mapping table. The push message itself contains only indication information, not actual addresses, thereby removing the privacy risk associated with transmitting and storing address data in the push message pathway.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a mapping copy of the address information in the PPG rather than including actual addresses in push messages. The indication information serves as a reference key that the PPG uses to retrieve actual addresses from its stored mapping, ensuring addresses never traverse the push message transmission channel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method, a system and a server for processing a Point to Multipoint (PTM) Push message. The method includes: receiving a Push message, in which the Push message includes indication information and push content; mapping address information of target terminals that correspond to the indication information; and sending, according to the address information of the target terminals, the push content to the target terminals that correspond to the indication information. In the embodiments of the present invention, the Push message is sent, according to the indication information included in the received Push message, to the target terminals that correspond to the indication information, and it is unnecessary to carry a large amount of the address information of the target terminals in the Push message, thereby saving network resources.
