SMPP Bridge for Multi-Channel Message Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile application providers face challenges in sending push notifications to consumer devices due to the need for creating new applications and setting up push notification systems, which is costly and time-consuming, making it infeasible for many providers.
Innovation Solution
A message delivery system acting as an intermediary that uses the SMPP protocol to send messages over multiple delivery channels, including push notifications, SMS, email, and instant messaging, allowing clients to communicate with consumers through various channels without the need for dedicated applications or systems.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If mobile application providers create new mobile applications with push notification capabilities, then push notification delivery is enabled, but development cost and time consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary message delivery system that acts as a mediator between mobile application providers and consumers. This system receives messages from providers via SMPP protocol and automatically delivers them through appropriate channels (push notifications, SMS, email, or instant messaging) without requiring providers to build their own push notification infrastructure. The intermediary handles the complexity of multiple delivery channels while providing a simple interface to providers.
2Ease of operation
If mobile application providers set up dedicated push notification systems, then message delivery control is improved, but system complexity and infrastructure requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The message delivery system is designed as a universal platform that handles multiple message delivery functions through a single infrastructure. It supports push notifications, SMS, email, and instant messaging delivery channels, and can adapt to different providers' needs through configurable delivery policies. This multi-functional system eliminates the need for each provider to build and maintain separate dedicated systems for each delivery channel.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for delivering communications to one or more consumer devices via an application provider proxy. A method for delivering and presenting notifications via an application provider proxy includes identifying an occurrence of an event for which a notification is to be delivered to a consumer device. The method also includes identifying a consumer notification policy associated with the consumer device applicable to the notification to be delivered and holding the notification until conditions of the consumer notification policy have been met. The method also includes releasing the notification for presentation at the consumer device upon determining that the rules of the consumer notification policy have been met.
