Simultaneous Communication Delivery Across WAN and PAN Networks
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic communication systems fail to deliver output communications simultaneously across multiple client devices connected to different networks, leading to inconsistencies and inefficiencies in communication delivery.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that utilize a processor and memory to configure and deliver electronic communications simultaneously across client devices via a wide area network and a secondary client device connected through a personal area network, using a delivery identifier to synchronize the delivery time across devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If electronic communications are delivered to multiple client devices connected to different networks, then communication coverage and accessibility are improved, but delivery timing consistency and synchronization deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by determining delivery timing information before actually delivering the electronic communication. The server device determines when the communication should be delivered to each client device, configures the communication with this timing information, and then delivers it. This preliminary determination of delivery timing ensures that even though communications traverse different networks (WAN and PAN), they are synchronized and delivered consistently across all client devices.
2Reliability
If a centralized server system is used to manage communication delivery, then delivery control and synchronization are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the complex delivery control and synchronization logic from the client devices and concentrates it in the server device. The server device performs all the sophisticated operations of determining delivery timing information, configuring electronic communications with this information, and coordinating delivery across multiple networks. The client devices are simplified to primarily receiving and displaying communications. This extraction of complexity to a centralized server improves delivery control while managing overall system complexity through clear separation of responsibilities.
3Ease of operation
If electronic communications are delivered across separate networks (WAN and PAN), then device accessibility and user convenience are improved, but delivery efficiency and speed deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The server device acts as an intermediary that coordinates delivery across the separate WAN and PAN networks. It determines appropriate delivery timing information considering the different network characteristics, configures communications with this timing information, and delivers them through the appropriate networks. This intermediary coordination allows the system to maintain high delivery efficiency by optimizing the use of both network types while preserving the ease of operation benefit of having multiple accessible devices.
