Smart Message Alert and Recall System for Dynamic Delay
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current messaging applications use a standard delay time for all messages, which is not dynamic and does not consider the type of message, the sender's relationship with the recipient, or the sender's reaction time, leading to inefficiencies and potential misuse of messages.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that dynamically determine the need for a delay in message transmission, customize the delay based on the content of the message and the sender's relationship with the recipient, and provide proactive alerts to the sender before sending the message to prevent inappropriate content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a standard delay time is used for all messages, then the system is simple to operate, but it does not adapt to different message types, sender-recipient relationships, or individual reaction times
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic delay periods that adjust based on multiple factors including message type, sender-recipient relationship, and individual reaction times. The system transitions from a fixed standard delay to a flexible, context-aware delay mechanism that automatically adapts to different scenarios without requiring manual configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the delay parameter dynamically based on input variables such as message content analysis, relationship data, and sender behavior patterns. By modifying the delay time parameter according to these inputs, the system achieves adaptability while maintaining automated operation.
2Reliability
If messages are delivered immediately without delay, then productivity is high, but inappropriate messages may be sent without correction opportunity
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of the message content, sender-recipient relationship, and potential appropriateness before final delivery. This pre-delivery evaluation includes checking message suitability and providing correction opportunities, ensuring reliability is maintained while minimizing unnecessary delays through automated assessment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback to the sender during the delay period, alerting them to potential issues with message appropriateness and offering correction opportunities. This feedback mechanism allows senders to review and modify messages before delivery, improving reliability without requiring long fixed delays.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the sender can delete messages within a fixed delay period, then message recall capability is provided, but the delay period does not account for individual reaction times or message urgency
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically determines appropriate delay periods by analyzing sender behavior patterns, message types, and relationship data without requiring manual user configuration. This self-service approach customizes delay times for each sender-recipients pair based on their specific needs and reaction times, achieving adaptability while keeping the interface simple.
Data Source
AI summary
Systems and methods for determining whether an alert should be generated, a delay period should be configured, or both, for a message composed in a messaging application or received by it, are disclosed. The methods determine a relationship score between a sender electronic device and a recipient electronic device. One or more analysis factors, which are determined based on the relationship score, are used to analyze the content of the message to determine whether the content is appropriate based on the relationship score and the applied factors. If the content is not appropriate, then an alert warning the sender of the inappropriate content is generated. A transmission delay period that is dynamically changed based on the relationship score and factors is embedded into the message such that the message may not be delivered until the expiration of such delay period. Emergency-related content is transmitted without an alert or delay.
