Call Invite Messaging With Subscription-Based Third-Party Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication systems lack efficient methods for providing subscription-based third-party information communication between user equipments (UEs), leading to complexity in authorization and revenue generation opportunities.
Innovation Solution
Implementing subscription-based techniques that utilize a third-party authorization server to verify UE authorization based on subscription information, allowing for the inclusion of third-party information in call initiation messages, and ensuring that only authorized UEs receive this information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional wireless communication systems are used for call initiation, then basic communication functionality is maintained, but third-party information cannot be communicated and revenue generation opportunities are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a service provider network entity as an intermediary between the user equipment and the third-party information source. This intermediary manages the subscription-based authorization process, retrieves third-party information from authorized sources, and injects it into call initiation messages. By offloading the complex authorization and information retrieval logic to the network entity, the user equipment remains relatively simple while gaining enhanced communication capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The authorization and information communication process is segmented into distinct functional components: subscription management, authorization verification, information retrieval from third-party sources, and message composition. Each component is handled by a specific network entity or module, allowing independent optimization and management of each function while reducing overall system complexity.
2Productivity
If subscription-based third-party information communication is implemented, then revenue generation opportunities are created and user experience is enhanced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service mechanisms where user equipment automatically manages its own subscription status and authorization tokens. The network entity autonomously verifies subscriptions and retrieves information without requiring manual intervention. This automation reduces operational complexity while enabling scalable revenue generation through multiple subscription tiers and information types.
Solution Approach 2:
The service provider network entity is designed with multi-functionality, handling not only third-party information retrieval but also subscription management, authorization verification, and message composition. This universal approach consolidates multiple functions into a single entity, reducing the need for separate specialized components and simplifying the overall system architecture.
3Loss of information
If third-party information is included in call initiation messages, then additional caller information is provided to enhance user experience, but authorization verification complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary authorization verification and information retrieval before call initiation. The service provider network entity checks subscription status, obtains authorization tokens, and retrieves third-party information in advance. This preliminary action ensures that when the call initiation message is constructed, all authorization and information requirements are already satisfied, simplifying the actual call setup process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the network entity continuously monitors subscription status, authorization validity, and information availability. Based on this feedback, the system dynamically adjusts the information included in call initiation messages. This feedback-driven approach ensures information completeness while managing authorization complexity through real-time status checking and adaptive message composition.
Data Source
AI summary
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first network entity of a first service provider may obtain, from a first user equipment (UE), an invite message for initiating a call between with a second UE that includes an identity associated with the first UE and an authorization server. Based on whether the first UE is subscribed to a third-party information service, the first network entity may obtain third-party information from the authorization server. The first network entity may output the invite message to a second network entity of a second service provider, where the invite message output by the first network entity includes the third-party information in accordance with whether the third-party information is obtained. Based on whether the second UE is subscribed to a third-party information verification service, the second network entity may verify the third-party information and output the invite message to the second UE.
