Telecom Message Redirection with Access Criteria
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing message redirection systems in telecommunications networks fail to differentiate between message types based on access conditions, such as personal, confidential, or collective nature, leading to uncontrolled and unauthorized message distribution.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that allow for personalized message transmission through a telecommunications network by defining accessibility criteria for each message, enabling secure and targeted delivery to predefined terminals based on their access conditions, using a communication device associated with the service platform and managed by a predefined entity, which filters messages and verifies the referencing of sending entities to ensure security.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If all messages are systematically redirected without access condition checks, then message delivery speed is improved, but message security and confidentiality are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary classification of messages into collective and personal categories before redirection. The platform pre-defines accessibility criteria for each message type, so that when a message arrives, the appropriate recipient set is already identified, enabling fast redirection without real-time security checks
Solution Approach 2:
The message stream is segmented into different categories (collective messages and personal messages) with different access conditions. Collective messages are redirected to multiple recipients simultaneously, while personal messages are redirected individually, allowing differentiated handling that maintains both speed and security
2Productivity
If messages are distributed in bulk without distinction, then distribution efficiency is improved, but access control and confidentiality are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
Different access control mechanisms are applied to different message types. Collective messages use simple mailbox deposition with broad access, while personal messages use targeted redirection to specific terminals. Each message type receives the appropriate level of access control based on its nature
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the accessibility parameter of messages based on their classification. Collective messages are marked with open access parameters allowing any authorized user to retrieve them, while personal messages are marked with restricted access parameters that require specific terminal or user identification
3Device complexity
If message redirection is performed without verifying sending entity referencing, then system complexity is reduced, but security against unauthorized messages is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The platform acts as an intermediary between sending entities and recipient terminals. It verifies the referencing of sending entities against predefined criteria before allowing message redirection, thereby blocking unauthorized messages without requiring complex security checks at each terminal

AI summary
The invention concerns a method for transmitting messages through a telecommunication terminal between a service platform (100) and at least one predefined set of terminals (10, 21, 22, 31, 32). The invention is characterized in that said method includes the following steps: defining at least one communication device (10) included in said set of terminals, said device corresponding to a subscriber to said service platform (100) and is associated with said set of identified terminals (10, 21, 22, 31, 32); for said communication device (10): receiving from the platform (100) at least one message from at least one referenced transmitting entity (310, 320); transmitting to said platform (100) at least one instruction for transmitting said message to at least one destination terminal belonging to said identified set (10, 21, 22, 31, 32), said transmission instruction including at least one criterion of accessibility to a message. The invention is applicable to secure and personalized transmission of messages to destination terminals from a communication device.
