Push Service Management via Signal Merging for Mobile Stations
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional IP push schemes for mobile stations require frequent signal transmissions for push service registration and deregistration, leading to high power consumption and battery degradation.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for managing push services by determining whether another application is using the push service, allowing registration or deregistration requests to be made using a heartbeat message when another application exists, or a separate message when it does not, thereby reducing unnecessary signal transmissions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If frequent signal transmissions are used for push service registration and deregistration, then push service management is achieved, but power consumption increases and battery performance degrades
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple push service registration and deregistration requests into a single signal transmission when multiple applications are involved. Instead of sending separate signals for each application, the system merges these requests and transmits them together, thereby reducing the total number of signal transmissions and lowering power consumption while still achieving proper push service management for all applications.
2Reliability
If separate messages are transmitted for each push service registration request, then registration accuracy is ensured, but data traffic increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple push service registration requests into a single consolidated message transmission. When multiple applications request push service registration, the system combines these requests and sends them in one data packet rather than transmitting separate messages for each application. This approach reduces overall data traffic while maintaining registration accuracy through proper message formatting that includes all necessary application information.
Data Source
AI summary
An apparatus and a method for managing a push service used by an application, and a recording medium storing a program source for the method which includes, when there is a request for use of a push service from an application installed in a mobile station, determining whether another application using the push service exists, determining a message type of a message to be transmitted to a push server to make a push service registration request depending on the determination of another application using the push service, and configuring a message for a push service registration request according to a determined message type and transmitting the configured message to the push server.
