Sender-Controlled Messaging via Embedded Control Part
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current messaging services lack flexibility and personalization for senders, as they cannot override pre-configured notification modes on recipient mobile phones, manage message archiving, or control message forwarding and replies effectively.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a control part within messages that includes notification mode, archiving, and forwarding commands, allowing senders to specify how messages are processed on the recipient's mobile phone, using MIME format with XML-based control commands.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If notification mode is pre-configured at the receiver side, then the receiver can have customized notification settings, but the sender cannot override or control the notification mode
Solution Approach 1:
The message is divided into two independent parts: a presentation part containing the actual message content and a control part containing commands for notification mode, archiving, forwarding, and reply control. This segmentation allows the sender to send control instructions without affecting the receiver's pre-configured settings, resolving the contradiction between receiver customization and sender control.
Solution Approach 2:
The control part acts as an intermediary mechanism that carries sender instructions to the receiver's messaging system. It mediates between the sender's control intentions and the receiver's pre-configured notification modes, enabling override functionality while preserving the receiver's original settings structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the receiver selects notification modes from existing options, then the mobile phone interface remains simple, but the sender cannot send personalized notification modes
Solution Approach 1:
The sender pre-specifies notification mode commands in the control part before sending the message. This preliminary action allows the receiver's system to automatically execute the desired notification behavior without requiring the receiver to manually configure or select from expanded options, maintaining interface simplicity while enabling personalization.
Solution Approach 2:
The control part modifies notification parameters dynamically by carrying specific commands (e.g., ring tone selection, volume level, notification timing) that change the behavior of the receiver's messaging system. This allows personalized notification modes without changing the receiver's phone interface or requiring complex configuration.
3Adaptability or versatility
If messages are saved in the message inbox, then the receiver can access all received messages, but the sender cannot control message archiving or deletion
Solution Approach 1:
The message is segmented into presentation and control parts, with the control part containing archiving commands. This allows the sender to specify message lifecycle management (deletion timing, archiving conditions) independently from the message content, enabling sender control without complicating the receiver's message storage structure.
4Adaptability or versatility
If the receiver forwards messages to default contacts, then the forwarding function is simple, but the sender cannot restrict or control the forwarding targets
Solution Approach 1:
The sender pre-specifies forwarding control instructions in the control part, defining which contacts or groups should receive forwarded messages. This preliminary configuration allows the receiver's system to automatically execute controlled forwarding without requiring complex manual intervention or expanding the receiver's default forwarding logic.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a mobile phone and a method for its operation and control. The mobile phone is capable of receiving the message sent by other mobile phones through a message transmission system. The method comprises: receiving the message from another mobile phone, wherein the received message comprises a presentation part and an associated control part, the control part being used for the control and management of the processing of the received message; extracting the control part from the received message; and executing the operation related to the message based on the extracted control part. According to an embodiment, if the control part received by the mobile phone comprises the notification mode control command, the mobile phone issues a message notification according to the notification mode control command, disregarding the message notification mode pre-configured on the mobile phone. Thus the requirement of the sender personalized message service can be satisfied.
