Pushmark Service Server for Secure Mobile Content Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The delivery of Internet browser channel content to mobile communication devices poses challenges due to potential security issues and limited infrastructure resources, such as bandwidth, and requires a secure and efficient method for managing content delivery.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for managing Internet browser channel content delivery using a pushmark service, which involves a pushmark service server module that interacts with mobile communication devices to establish and manage pushmark services, ensuring secure delivery by authenticating content providers and using unique identifiers, and allows users to subscribe to and access Internet browser channels with customizable pushmark icons for different states.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If content delivery is enabled to mobile devices, then user access to Internet content is improved, but security risks and infrastructure resource consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a pushmark service server as an intermediary between content providers and mobile devices. This server manages content delivery, authenticates providers, and controls resource usage, thereby maintaining security while enabling content access. The intermediary layer prevents direct unsecured connections while facilitating legitimate content delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary authentication of content providers and setup of pushmark services before actual content delivery occurs. This advance verification ensures that only authorized providers can deliver content, preventing security issues before they arise while maintaining smooth operation during content delivery.
2Ease of operation
If content delivery is enabled to mobile devices, then user access to Internet content is improved, but infrastructure resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The pushmark service enables periodic or on-demand content delivery rather than continuous transmission. Content is pushed to devices only when updates are available or scheduled, reducing unnecessary bandwidth consumption and infrastructure resource usage while maintaining timely content access for users.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-managed content delivery where the pushmark service automatically handles authentication, content routing, and delivery scheduling without requiring constant manual intervention. This automation optimizes resource allocation and reduces infrastructure overhead while maintaining efficient content delivery.
3Reliability
If pushmark service is implemented, then security and control over content delivery are enhanced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The pushmark service server performs multiple functions including authentication, content management, delivery scheduling, and resource allocation within a single unified system. This multi-functionality consolidates complexity into one manageable component rather than distributing it across multiple separate systems, making the overall system easier to manage despite enhanced security capabilities.
4Reliability
If authentication of content providers is required, then security is improved, but setup process complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The authentication process is automated through self-service mechanisms where content providers register and authenticate themselves through standardized procedures managed by the pushmark service server. This automation reduces manual setup complexity while maintaining rigorous security verification, allowing providers to complete authentication independently without requiring complex manual configuration.

AI summary
Disclosed are a system and method for managing delivery of pushed web content to communication devices. In an embodiment, the method comprises: uniquely identifying a communication device to which the pushed web content is to be delivered; establishing a pushed web content service linking the pushed web content to the communication device; receiving a pushed web content service request; and permitting delivery of content to the communication device via the pushed web content service based on verification of the identity of a trusted pushed web content provider. The method may further comprise uniquely identifying the pushed web content provider with an assignable unique pushed web content identification.
