NOTIFICATION SENDING APPARATUS, NOTIFICATION RECEIVING APPARATUS, NOTIFICATION DELIVERY SYSTEM INCLUDING THESE, AND NOTIFICATION SENDING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18339351 titled 'NOTIFICATION SENDING APPARATUS, NOTIFICATION RECEIVING APPARATUS, NOTIFICATION DELIVERY SYSTEM INCLUDING THESE, AND NOTIFICATION SENDING METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a notification sending apparatus that includes various components to facilitate the sending and re-sending of notifications to a notification receiving apparatus.
- The self notification identifier attaching unit attaches a self notification identifier to each notification, which includes a sending ordinal position identification function.
- The sent notification identifier attaching unit attaches the self notification identifier of the immediately preceding notification to each notification.
- The sending unit sends the notifications, each attached with the self notification identifier and the sent notification identifier, to the notification receiving apparatus.
- The re-sending unit, upon receiving a re-send request with range specifying information from the notification receiving apparatus, identifies the notifications that need to be re-sent based on the specified range and re-sends them to the notification receiving apparatus.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Email or messaging platforms that require reliable and efficient notification delivery.
- Systems that involve real-time updates or alerts, such as stock market monitoring or emergency notifications.
- Any application where the ability to track and re-send notifications is crucial for ensuring message delivery.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensures that notifications are sent in a specific order by attaching a self notification identifier with a sending ordinal position identification function.
- Facilitates the re-sending of notifications upon request, allowing for reliable message delivery even in cases of network issues or missed notifications.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved reliability and efficiency in notification delivery.
- Simplified tracking and re-sending of notifications, reducing the risk of missed messages.
- Enhanced user experience by ensuring that notifications are received in the intended order.
Original Abstract Submitted
A notification sending apparatus comprising: a self notification identifier attaching unit configured to attach a self notification identifier to each notification, the self notification identifier having at least a sending ordinal position identification function; a sent notification identifier attaching unit configured to attach, to each notification, the self notification identifier attached to a notification that was sent immediately before each notification, as a sent notification identifier; a sending unit configured to send a notification receiving apparatus the notifications, each of which is attached with the self notification identifier and the sent notification identifier; and a re-sending unit configured, upon receipt of a re-send request including a range specifying information from the notification receiving apparatus, to obtain at least one notification that has been sent and needs to be re-sent based on the range specifying information, and to re-send the at least one obtained notification to the notification receiving apparatus.
