Remote Message Forwarding via Client-Specified Service Interworking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication systems lack the ability for users to actively initiate interworking between different service systems, leading to poor user experiences when trying to forward messages across various platforms, such as sending a voice mail from one service to another.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that allows a message sending client to send a remote message forwarding request containing a remote content identifier, forwarding indication information, and message receiver information, enabling the network side to acquire and send the message content in the desired form indicated by the user, thereby enabling active service interworking.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the server automatically converts messages based on receiver address format, then message delivery reliability is improved, but user control and active service interworking capability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of the server automatically determining message conversion based on receiver address format, the invention inverts the control flow by allowing the sender to explicitly specify the target service system and message format. The sender initiates the interworking process by selecting the desired service system (SMS, MMS, Email, etc.) and the message format, rather than the system automatically deciding based on receiver type.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces a message sending client as an intermediary between the user and the network side. This client provides the user interface for selecting service systems and message formats, then transmits these selections to the network side for execution. The intermediary enables users to actively control message conversion while the network side simply executes the user's instructions.
2Productivity
If the system automatically determines receiver service type, then message forwarding efficiency is improved, but service interworking flexibility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The invention applies preliminary action by having the sender specify the target service system and message format before the message forwarding process begins. The sender pre-determines the interworking parameters (service system type, message format) and includes them in the forwarding request, allowing the network side to directly execute the conversion without needing to automatically detect or query the receiver's service type, thus maintaining both efficiency and flexibility.
3Ease of operation
If manual service selection is implemented, then user experience and active interworking capability are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the service selection and format specification functions from the network side system and places them in the message sending client. By moving these control functions to the client side, the system complexity on the network side is reduced while users gain active control capability. The client handles the complexity of service system selection and message format specification through its interface.

AI summary
A method for message sending is disclosed, which includes that a message sending client sends a remote message forwarding request to a network side, the remote message forwarding request at least containing a remote content identifier, forwarding indication information and message receiver information; and the network side acquires a message content according to the remote message forwarding request, and sends the message content to a message receiver in a message form indicated by the forwarding indication information. A system and client for message sending are accordingly disclosed. By such a technical solution, a message sender can actively select service interworking, so that user experiences can be improved.
