Push Notification Service Verification Gateway
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Pushing information to mobile nodes can disrupt services currently running on the device, as existing methods do not effectively determine whether the incoming content is associated with the same service, leading to potential conflicts and disruptions.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method that determine whether incoming content is associated with the same service as content already running on the node, preventing transmission if they are not, thereby reducing the likelihood of service conflicts and enhancing user privacy by minimizing the disclosure of the current service.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If information is pushed to mobile nodes without service verification, then bandwidth efficiency is improved, but service conflict and disruption risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by verifying service compatibility before pushing content. The processing stage checks whether the incoming content is associated with the same service as content currently rendered at the node, and only transmits the content if the verification succeeds. This prevents service conflicts while maintaining push efficiency.
2Reliability
If service verification is performed before content transmission, then service conflict risk is reduced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by integrating the service verification function into the existing content transmission processing stage. The same processing stage that handles content transmission also performs service compatibility verification, eliminating the need for separate verification hardware or software modules and minimizing system complexity.
3Reliability
If service information is disclosed to verify content association, then service conflict prevention is improved, but user privacy is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by performing service verification in a distributed manner where each node independently determines whether incoming content is associated with its currently rendered service. This eliminates the need to disclose service information to external entities, protecting user privacy while still enabling conflict prevention.

AI summary
The present invention relates to the transmission of push information to a handset. Before pushing a page to the handset, it is checked that the page belongs to the same service as the page currently display. If the page to be pushed belongs to a different service, it is not pushed. The risk of disruption to the original service is thereby reduced. Checking is preferably done by a gateway to which the handset is connected. The gateway can store details of the page last transmitted to the handset in order to facilitate the check.
