Automatic Call Number Verification in Communication Networks
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing methods for verifying telephone numbers with service providers in communication networks are prone to human error and require manual input of identification numbers, which can be time-consuming and susceptible to errors, especially when network resources are overloaded.
Innovation Solution
The method involves transmitting a predefined telephone number to a service server, storing a terminal-specific identification, and then verifying it automatically upon a subsequent connection, eliminating the need for manual input and reducing errors by matching stored and transmitted identification numbers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual input of identification numbers is used for verification, then users can verify their telephone numbers, but the process is prone to human error and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic verification where the terminal autonomously transmits the stored identification number without requiring manual user input. The terminal itself performs the verification action by automatically sending the ID number in response to the service server's request, eliminating the need for manual keyboard entry and reducing both time and errors.
Solution Approach 2:
The manual mechanical process of keyboard entry is replaced with an automated electronic transmission system. The terminal automatically transmits the identification number through the communication network without human intervention, substituting the manual typing mechanism with an automated data transmission process that is faster and more reliable.
2Speed
If verification is performed immediately after registration, then users can use the service quickly, but network resources may be overloaded
Solution Approach 1:
The identification number is pre-transmitted and stored in the terminal during the initial registration phase. This preliminary action prepares the verification data in advance, so that when verification is needed, the terminal can immediately transmit the pre-stored ID number without requiring real-time processing that might overload network resources.
3Ease of operation
If identification numbers are noted and manually entered, then verification can be performed, but errors occur during manual input
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal autonomously retrieves and transmits the stored identification number without requiring the user to manually note and re-enter it. The system performs the verification action automatically using the pre-stored ID number, eliminating manual input operations entirely and thus eliminating input errors while maintaining ease of operation.

AI summary
A predetermined call number (rn) is transmitted to the service in response to a first connection signalling of a terminal (EG) and is stored therein, the service producing, storing and transmitting to the terminal (EG) a terminal-specific identification (pin) together with the call number (rds) of the service and storing it in the terminal and terminating the first connection (VL1). During a second connection signalling to the terminal (EG), the call number (rds) of the service is transmitted, the second connection (VL2) being accepted in the terminal (EG) when the transmitted call number (rds) is identical with the stored one, and the stored, terminal-specific identification (pin) is transmitted to the service, the predetermined, stored call number (rn) being verified in the service when the transmitted terminal-specific identification (pin) is identical with the stored one. The invention allows an automatic verification without input of the user, which verification can be carried out at times of little demand on the resources in the network or in the service.
