Access-Controlled Service Delivery Using Mobile Device Position
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing solutions fail to effectively deliver dedicated services to access-controlled service areas, such as those delimited by access barriers, where user access is controlled by an external system.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that utilize a mobile communication network to deliver dedicated services by identifying and tracking a user's connectable device within an access-controlled service area, using position information from GNSS and network signals, and delivering digital content based on the device's location relative to predefined service sub-areas.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If an external access control system is used to control user access to the service area, then the system complexity is reduced and existing infrastructure is utilized, but the mobile communication network cannot obtain accurate user access information to deliver dedicated services
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary component that bridges the external access control system and the mobile communication network. This intermediary receives access information from the external system and relays it to the network, enabling dedicated service delivery without increasing the complexity of the external access control system. The intermediary acts as a mediator that translates and transmits the necessary information between the two systems.
2Productivity
If dedicated services are delivered to all users in a service area, then service coverage is maximized, but resources are wasted on users who do not have access rights
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating service delivery based on user access rights. Instead of providing uniform service to all users in a service area, the system tailors service delivery to specific users who have been granted access rights. This is achieved by using access information from the external control system to identify and deliver dedicated services only to authorized users, thereby optimizing resource utilization while maintaining service coverage for legitimate users.
3Adaptability or versatility
If position information is continuously tracked to deliver location-based services, then service personalization is improved, but energy consumption and network load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic action by updating position information and delivering services at specific intervals or triggers rather than continuously. The system monitors user position and delivers dedicated services based on periodic updates or when specific location-based conditions are met, reducing the energy consumption and network load associated with continuous tracking while still maintaining effective service personalization.

AI summary
A method for delivering to a user, through a mobile communication network, a dedicated service restricted to an access-controlled service area includes, upon detection of an access of the user into the access-controlled service area by an access control system, controlling accesses of users to the access-controlled service area, identifying a connectable device associated with the user. The connectable device is connected to the mobile communication network. Then a position of the connectable device is determined. If, based on the position of the connectable device, the connectable device is within the access-controlled service area, the dedicated service is delivered to the user by, providing, through the mobile communication network, one or more digital contents to the connectable device.
