SMS Gateway Iteration Handling for Automated Message Broadcasting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current SMS message delivery systems do not allow for automated multiple sending of the same message to the same recipient, leading to user inconvenience and resource saturation in the telecommunications network.
Innovation Solution
A method and gateway system that enable a single submission of an SMS message with a specified number of iterations, allowing the message to be sent multiple times, along with the generation and sequential transmission of corresponding charging tickets to the billing center.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If the user sends the same SMS message multiple times manually, then the message delivery count increases, but the user operation complexity and time consumption increase proportionally
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically generating and sending multiple message copies based on a single user submission. The gateway receives one message, extracts the iteration count, and proactively generates the required number of message copies and sends them automatically, eliminating the need for users to manually send messages multiple times.
2Measurement precision
If the gateway processes each SMS message independently, then the billing accuracy is maintained, but the network resource consumption and gateway processing load increase with multiple manual submissions
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges multiple independent message processing operations into a single integrated process. Instead of treating each message submission as a separate event, the system combines multiple message sends into one gateway processing operation, where a single user message triggers the generation and sending of multiple message copies, thereby reducing network traffic and gateway processing overhead while maintaining billing accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The gateway is enhanced with multi-functionality to handle both single and multiple message sends within a single processing framework. The system universally processes messages by extracting iteration information and automatically adapting the sending behavior, allowing the same gateway infrastructure to handle both traditional single-send operations and the new multi-send operations without requiring separate processing paths.
3Measurement precision
If the system generates a charging ticket for each message sending, then the billing accuracy is ensured, but the billing system complexity increases when handling multiple sends from a single submission
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates copies of the charging ticket for each generated message send. When the gateway generates N message copies from a single user submission, it simultaneously generates N corresponding charging ticket copies, each associated with its respective message send. This copying approach maintains billing accuracy by ensuring each send is accounted for, while the automated copying process managed by the gateway avoids significant increases in billing system complexity.

AI summary
The invention concerns a message broadcasting method including: a step of composing a message from a terminal (7; 8) comprising at least one telephone number of a recipient (11) of said message; a step of sending the message via the terminal (7; 8) to a gateway (10); a step of transmitting the message via the gateway (10) to the recipient (11) of said message. The invention is characterized in that, the composing step further includes introducing a number of iterations (N) corresponding to the number of iterations for sending the message and in that the transmission step is repeated a number of times corresponding to the number of iterations (N) indicated in the message.
