Sender-Controlled Contact Media Content Delivery System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile devices lack personalized and interactive contact management systems, requiring significant user effort to play custom content like ringtones and videos during contact events, which often go stale without regular updates.
Innovation Solution
A system that uses a computer-to-computer interface with natural language processing and metadata matching to associate hash tags with messages, enabling sender-controlled contact media content to be played on recipient devices during contact events, such as calls or texts, using voice and data layer transmission mediums for coordinated playback.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If sender-controlled contact media content is implemented, then user engagement and personalization are enhanced, but device complexity and system requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a content server as an intermediary between users and the contact media content delivery system. The content server stores, manages, and delivers personalized contact media content to recipient devices, offloading the complexity from individual mobile devices. This mediator handles the coordination between sender-created content and recipient device playback, reducing the burden on end-user devices while enabling rich personalization.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables senders to create and control their own contact media content without requiring recipient device modification or complex configuration. The sender's mobile device automatically manages content creation, upload to the content server, and triggers playback on recipient devices during contact events. This self-service approach simplifies the user experience while maintaining high personalization capabilities.
2Ease of operation
If automatic content association is implemented, then user effort is reduced, but processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by having senders create and upload contact media content to the content server in advance of actual contact events. The content is pre-processed, stored, and associated with the sender's profile beforehand. When a contact event occurs, the system simply retrieves and plays back the pre-prepared content, minimizing real-time processing requirements and reducing latency during actual contact moments.
3Adaptability or versatility
If rich interactive experiences are enabled, then user engagement increases, but energy consumption and resource usage increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements rich interactive experiences selectively rather than universally. Contact media content playback is triggered only during specific contact events (calls, texts, contact card displays) rather than continuously. The content server and mobile devices maintain basic operational states with low energy consumption, activating full multimedia playback capabilities only when needed during actual contact events, thus balancing engagement quality with energy efficiency.
Data Source
AI summary
Call originator feedback may be gathered from members of a call group for a call originator. This feedback may be stored in a contact firewall data structure indexed by call originator identification information, where a contact firewall function can intercept a call to a member of the group when the contact firewall data structure indicates that an action to impact the call should be taken. In another aspect, a method may include receiving an indication of no-answer by a recipient of a call, activating a sender-controlled media (SCM) content selection/generation interface on the caller's phone, and delivering the item of content to the recipient's call message storage system, where the item of content is linked to the missed call. For example, a SCM data structure, or a link to the SCM data structure, may be delivered to the recipient's call message storage system.
