Smart Device Message Pushing via Active State Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing message pushing methods to multiple smart devices consume excessive network resources, as they send messages to all devices bound to a user account, regardless of their active state, leading to inefficiency and potential delays in notification delivery.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that acquire state parameters from each smart device to determine active devices and send messages only to those in an active state, reducing network resource usage and ensuring timely notification delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If messages are sent to all smart devices bound to a user account, then message delivery coverage is improved, but network resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by acquiring state parameters of smart devices before sending messages, determining which devices are in active states, and preparing a target device list in advance. This prevents wasted network resources on inactive devices while ensuring messages are sent to all active devices.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of sending messages to all bound devices (excessive action), the system sends messages only to devices determined to be in active states (partial action). This partial action approach reduces network resource consumption while maintaining sufficient message delivery coverage to reach users promptly.
2Reliability
If messages are sent to all smart devices bound to a user account, then message delivery coverage is improved, but message delivery efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system acquires state parameters and determines target devices before message sending, preparing the recipient list in advance. This preliminary filtering of inactive devices reduces the number of sending operations needed, thereby improving message delivery efficiency while maintaining coverage of active devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs partial action by sending messages only to active devices rather than all bound devices. This reduces the total number of message transmission operations, improving delivery efficiency while ensuring messages reach users through their active devices.
3Reliability
If messages are sent to all smart devices bound to a user account, then message delivery coverage is improved, but network resource waste increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of device active states using state parameters before initiating message transmission. This advance identification of active devices prevents network resource waste by excluding inactive devices from the message sending process, while still ensuring coverage of all active devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements partial action by sending messages only to the subset of active devices rather than all bound devices. This reduces network resource waste by eliminating unnecessary transmissions to inactive devices while maintaining effective message delivery coverage to reach users.

AI summary
A message pushing method and an apparatus are provided in the field of electronic technology. The method may include: acquiring a push message corresponding to a target user account; acquiring a state parameter for each smart device that is bound to the target user account; determining whether each smart device is in an active state based on the state parameter; and sending the push message to at least one target smart device in the active state.
