Solution Overview

Problem

Current messaging platforms lack the ability for senders to control how recipients consume messages and supplemental content, leading to user distraction, resource wastage, and confusion due to third-party control over message environments.

Innovation Solution

A framework that allows senders to control the environment in which their messages are consumed, enabling them to dictate the display of supplemental content and encourage sharing through bot-driven mechanisms, such as retrieving content from network locations or alternate databases and providing interactive interfaces.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If messaging platforms provide supplemental content through third-party control, then content availability to recipients is improved, but user experience deteriorates due to distraction and confusion

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent availabilityVSAvoiduser distraction
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the message delivery system into distinct components: sender-controlled message content and recipient-controlled supplemental content. The sender's message is delivered through their own channel, while supplemental content is separately managed through bot-driven mechanisms that respect recipient preferences, thereby reducing distraction while maintaining content availability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces bot-driven intermediaries that mediate between senders and recipients. These bots automatically manage supplemental content delivery based on recipient preferences and message context, eliminating the need for third-party platforms to control both message and supplemental content, thus reducing user distraction while preserving content availability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If third-party entities control supplemental content display, then content diversity is improved, but computational resources are wasted due to platform abandonment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent diversityVSAvoidcomputational resource wastage
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where recipient user profiles and preferences continuously inform supplemental content selection. Bots monitor user interactions and adjust content delivery accordingly, ensuring computational resources are allocated only to content that aligns with recipient interests, thereby reducing resource wastage while maintaining content diversity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically changes content delivery parameters based on recipient profiles, message context, and interaction history. Supplemental content is selectively delivered based on adjusted parameters such as content type, timing, and format, optimizing resource utilization while preserving content diversity through adaptive parameter modification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If control of messages is passed to other parties, then platform functionality is improved, but message clarity deteriorates due to mixed messaging

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplatform functionalityVSAvoidmessage clarity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments control functions: senders maintain control over their message content and intent, while bots handle supplemental content delivery. This segmentation ensures message clarity by preventing third parties from interfering with the core message, while still providing enhanced platform functionality through automated bot-driven supplemental content management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Ease of operation

If senders have control over message environment, then user satisfaction is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser satisfactionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service through bot-driven automated content delivery. Bots automatically manage supplemental content based on recipient preferences and message context, eliminating the need for complex manual configuration. This self-service approach improves user satisfaction by providing personalized content while actually reducing system complexity through automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

The disclosed systems and methods provide a novel framework that provides mechanisms for enabling message senders to dictate, control and/or create dynamic immersive content consumption experiences for recipients of their messages. The disclosed framework provides message senders with previously non-existent functionality to control the experience and environment within which their messages are consumed. Conventional systems provide recipients with capabilities to consume messages and/or supplemental content; however, these capabilities are driven and controlled by the hosting messaging platform and/or the third party entity that is availed opportunities to provide supplemental content. The disclosed framework prevents such experiences by providing capabilities to the message sender that involves control not only over the experience of the sender's messages but also control over the experience of the environment in which the messages are consumed by their recipients.
