Unified Messaging Broker for Wireless Network Content Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current messaging systems require multiple solutions and infrastructure to support various messaging applications like SMS, MMS, IM, and email, leading to inefficiency and high costs for network operators and service providers, as they lack a unified platform for generalized content delivery across both wireline and wireless networks.
Innovation Solution
A unified architecture and messaging application broker that interfaces with multiple messaging applications, network management applications, user devices, and external networks, enabling scalable, cost-efficient, and high-performance delivery of multiple messaging services by selecting the appropriate network elements based on message type and recipient services.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple individual solutions and infrastructures are developed for each messaging application (SMS, MMS, IM, email, voice mail), then each messaging service can be supported with dedicated functionality, but the system complexity and cost increase significantly for network operators and service providers
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a unified messaging infrastructure that provides multi-functional support for multiple messaging applications (SMS, MMS, IM, email, voice mail) through a single platform. The system uses a common message store, unified protocol stack, and shared network elements that can handle different messaging types, thereby reducing infrastructure complexity while maintaining comprehensive messaging service coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple separate messaging infrastructures into a single integrated system. It merges individual message stores, protocol handlers, and network elements into a unified architecture where different messaging applications share common resources, reducing redundancy and simplifying the overall system while supporting diverse messaging services.
2Reliability
If multiple separate infrastructures are maintained for different messaging applications, then each service can be optimized independently, but the cost and operational inefficiency increase for network operators
Solution Approach 1:
The unified messaging infrastructure enables single-platform support for multiple messaging applications through shared message stores, common protocol stacks, and integrated network elements. This consolidation reduces operational costs by eliminating redundant infrastructure while maintaining reliable service delivery across SMS, MMS, IM, email, and voice mail services.
3Adaptability or versatility
If individual solutions are developed for each messaging application, then specific messaging requirements can be met, but the system becomes expensive and inefficient to operate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal messaging platform that supports multiple messaging applications (SMS, MMS, IM, email, voice mail) through shared infrastructure components including a common message store, unified protocol stack, and integrated network elements. This approach maintains high operational efficiency by eliminating redundant processing and resource allocation while supporting diverse messaging requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges separate messaging infrastructures into a unified architecture where different messaging applications share common resources such as message stores, protocol handlers, and network pathways. This consolidation improves operational efficiency by reducing redundant operations and enabling centralized management of multiple messaging services.
