DYNAMICALLY DISTRIBUTING MESSAGING RESOURCES IN SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE MESSAGING PLATFORM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240106780 titled 'DYNAMICALLY DISTRIBUTING MESSAGING RESOURCES IN SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE MESSAGING PLATFORM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for dynamically distributing messaging resources in a software as a service (SaaS) platform, including receiving messages from tenants, queuing messages based on resource quotas, and forwarding messages to specified destinations.

  • Explanation:
   * Receiving message requests from tenants.
   * Identifying and queuing messages based on tenant-specific queues.
   * Assigning scores to queues based on messaging resource quotas.
   * Retrieving and forwarding messages based on queue scores.

Potential Applications

The technology described in the patent application could be applied in various SaaS platforms that require efficient distribution of messaging resources among multiple tenants.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient allocation of messaging resources among tenants. 2. Streamlining message forwarding processes in a multi-tenant environment.

Benefits

1. Improved resource management. 2. Enhanced message delivery efficiency. 3. Scalability for growing SaaS platforms.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing Messaging Resource Distribution in SaaS Platforms

Possible Prior Art

No prior art known at this time.

Unanswered Questions

How does the method handle message prioritization among tenants?

The abstract mentions assigning scores to queues based on resource quotas, but it does not specify how messages are prioritized within each queue.

What security measures are in place to protect the messaging resources?

The abstract focuses on resource distribution and forwarding messages, but it does not address potential security concerns related to messaging data protection.


Original Abstract Submitted

an example method of dynamically distributing messaging resources in a software as a service (saas) platform includes: receiving, by a processing device, from a first tenant associated with a first tenant set of a plurality of tenant sets, a request to forward a first message to a recipient within a specified destination; identifying, among a plurality of queues associated with the plurality of tenant sets, a subset of queues associated with the first tenant; queuing the first message into a first queue of the subset of queues associated with the first tenant; assigning, to each queue of the plurality of queues, a score reflecting a respective tenant portion of a messaging resource quota associated with the specified destination; retrieving a second message from a queue associated with a highest score; and forwarding the second message to a messaging gateway associated with the specified destination.
