Universal Message ID Correlation Across Heterogeneous Carriers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing message notification systems fail to correlate message reception and delivery across multiple media channels and events, especially in heterogeneous environments, and are often dependent on specific service providers, lacking a generic solution for identifying and authenticating messages with multiple recipients.
Innovation Solution
A system utilizing a combination of MessageID, EventID, and RecipientID, along with media address, to generate a unique MessageID for message correlation and authentication, enabling message identification and correlation across multiple events and media channels, independent of service providers, and capable of handling multiple recipients and media types.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a service provider uses carrier-specific proprietary technology for message identification, then message correlation works within that carrier's domain, but the system cannot correlate messages across multiple carriers and service providers
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal message identification system that works across multiple carriers and service providers by establishing a standardized correlation mechanism. The system uses a generic approach with standardized parameters (message ID, event ID, recipient ID, media address) that can be applied universally regardless of the underlying carrier infrastructure, enabling one system to serve multiple functions across heterogeneous environments.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary correlation system that sits between the carrier-specific message delivery systems and the service provider's notification system. This intermediary layer translates and correlates messages using standardized identifiers, mediating between proprietary carrier technologies and the need for universal message tracking across multiple carriers.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system tracks messages through multiple media channels and events, then message correlation capability improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the message tracking system into distinct, manageable components: message ID generation, event ID tracking, recipient ID management, and media address routing. Each component handles a specific aspect of message correlation independently, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive multi-media tracking capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses parameter-based message identification where messages are tracked by changing values of specific parameters (message ID, event ID, recipient ID, media address) rather than complex structural changes. This parameter-driven approach allows the system to adapt to multiple media channels and events through parameter variation rather than architectural complexity.
3Measurement precision
If the system provides detailed message correlation tracking across multiple events and recipients, then message identification accuracy improves, but information processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates simplified copies or representations of message metadata (ID, event ID, recipient ID, media address) that can be processed efficiently. Rather than processing complete message content, the system works with these standardized identifier copies, maintaining precise message identification while reducing the volume of data that needs to be processed and stored.

AI summary
A generic approach for identifying, authenticating, and correlating a received massage with a particular event and a particular recipient, regardless of the number of events, number of recipients and types of media used for the originally sent message, is achieved by the inclusion of a unique ID embedded in each originally sent message. Upon receipt of an incoming reply message, a parser extracts the unique ID information provided by the recipient from the message for correlation of the incoming message with the associated sent message.
