Solution Overview

Problem

Existing SMS systems fail to effectively intercept and process SMS messages intended for non-SMS compliant numbers, leading to undelivered messages and limited response options, as they lack advanced message processing and interpretation capabilities.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that intercept SMS messages, identify the intended recipient, parse keywords, retrieve user account information, and generate automated responses based on contextual information, allowing for message processing and response generation without alerting the user, and include features like message classification and automated response systems.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If SMS messages are forwarded to non-SMS compliant numbers, then message delivery is attempted, but the messages cannot be delivered and receive negative responses

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage delivery reliabilityVSAvoidcompatibility with non-SMS numbers
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary system that intercepts SMS messages before they are forwarded to non-SMS compliant numbers. This intermediary analyzes the recipient number, determines SMS compatibility, and either blocks incompatible messages or converts them to alternative formats, thereby preventing delivery failures while maintaining system versatility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis of the recipient's SMS capability before message delivery is attempted. By checking whether the recipient number is SMS-compliant in advance, the system can prevent futile delivery attempts and notify senders proactively, improving overall delivery reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If advanced message processing and interpretation capabilities are added, then SMS interpretation potential is maximized, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveSMS interpretation capabilityVSAvoidmessage processing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The message processing system is divided into separate functional modules: an interception component that captures incoming SMS, an analysis component that checks recipient compatibility, a processing component that performs interpretation and word replacement, and a forwarding component that delivers messages. This segmentation allows advanced interpretation capabilities while managing system complexity through modular design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal message processing system that handles multiple message types and interpretation requirements through a single integrated platform. The system can process standard SMS, perform word replacement, pair words with variables, and adapt to different recipient capabilities, achieving high versatility without requiring separate systems for each function

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A message receiving, intercepting and processing method and corresponding application and device may provide receiving a message from a user device at a message processing server, pre-processing the message to determine at least one topic of interest associated with at least one word parsed from the message, identifying at least one existing topic related to the at least one topic of interest posted in a social networking application associated with a user account of the user device based on the parsed at least one word, linking the at least one existing topic to the user account, and posting the at least one existing topic to the user account.
