Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional short messaging services are upgraded to rich media messaging services and 5G message services are launched, then service types become more abundant and user capabilities are enhanced, but service identification accuracy deteriorates and monitoring efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveservice typesVSAvoidservice identification accuracy

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments service identification by protocol type, dividing 5G message services into HTTP protocol services and non-HTTP protocol services. This segmentation allows the system to apply different processing methods to different service types, improving identification accuracy while maintaining the ability to handle diverse service formats including text, pictures, audio, and video messages

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system monitors all 5G messages of various service types, then service coverage is improved, but processing accuracy deteriorates due to limited identification capabilities

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveservice coverageVSAvoidprocessing accuracy

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by implementing protocol-specific processing: HTTP protocol messages are monitored and billed through HTTP message monitoring, while non-HTTP protocol messages are handled through GBA authentication and service request monitoring. This localized approach ensures each service type is processed with appropriate methods, maintaining high accuracy across diverse service coverage

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If GBA authentication is used for service identification, then authentication reliability is improved, but service type identification accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveauthentication reliabilityVSAvoidservice type identification accuracy

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces HTTP protocol characteristics as an intermediary layer between GBA authentication and service type identification. While GBA authentication verifies user identity, the system additionally analyzes HTTP protocol features (message structure, content type, headers) to accurately identify service types, combining both authentication reliability and identification precision

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
