Unified Telecom Message Tracking Platform
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current message tracking platforms in the telecom industry are incompatible due to differences in service types and message contents, making it difficult to manage and analyze operations across various services.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for configuring message tracking that integrates multiple services by using a tracking server to synchronize registration messages, configure tracking conditions, and forward tracking results between service modules and monitoring clients, enabling a unified message tracking platform.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If separate message tracking platforms are set up for different services, then each service can be tracked according to its specific requirements, but the platforms become incompatible with each other
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal message tracking platform that can handle multiple service types through a unified architecture. The tracking server supports different service modules (SMS, MMS, instant messaging, etc.) and message types through standardized interfaces and configurable parameters, allowing one platform to serve multiple tracking purposes without requiring separate incompatible systems for each service
2Device complexity
If a uniform general message tracking platform is implemented, then compatibility across services is improved, but the ability to handle service-specific tracking requirements may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the tracking platform into independent functional modules including service modules for different message types, a central tracking server, and monitoring clients. Each service module handles specific message types while the tracking server provides unified coordination through standardized protocols, allowing both service-specific customization and platform-wide compatibility
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic configuration capabilities where tracking conditions, parameters, and rules can be adjusted based on service requirements. The system supports flexible subscription mechanisms and configurable tracking criteria that can be modified without changing the underlying platform architecture, enabling adaptation to different service needs while maintaining a unified platform
3Reliability
If message tracking is performed at multiple network nodes, then comprehensive tracking coverage is achieved, but the complexity of coordination between nodes increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a central tracking server as an intermediary that coordinates between multiple network nodes. The tracking server receives messages from various service modules at different nodes, standardizes the data format, and distributes tracking conditions to monitoring clients, thereby achieving comprehensive tracking coverage while simplifying node coordination through a centralized mediation layer
Data Source
AI summary
The disclosure discloses a method for configuring message tracking in a telecom service, comprising: a service module initiates a registration message to a tracking server, and synchronizes a tracking condition with the tracking server; a monitoring client initiates a registration message to the tracking server, and receives the tracking condition synchronously sent by the tracking server; and the monitoring client performs a configuration on the tracking condition, and sends a synchronization message of configuration information to the corresponding service module through the tracking server to complete the message tracking configuration. The disclosure further discloses a system for configuring message tracking in a telecom service. The method and system construct a general platform for the message tracking, which can integrate the message tracking of various different services. A new service module or a new monitoring client could be added more flexibly.
