Certified Identifier Pairing for Telecommunication Link Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current telecommunications networks lack secure and controlled mechanisms for establishing and managing social links between users, leading to exponential social graphs that are difficult to navigate, with unreliable information circulation and limited user control over content sharing.
Innovation Solution
A method for creating certified telecommunications links between users using pairs of certified identifiers, allowing direct communication sessions while maintaining control over access and content sharing, with optional temporal limitations and transferability to third parties.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If social networking sites allow users to record and maintain numerous links between users, then users can interact with a broader network including friends and friends of friends, but the social graph becomes exponential in size making navigation difficult and control lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the social network into hierarchical levels: direct contacts (first level), friends of friends (second level), and so on. Each user has a limited number of direct contacts (e.g., 100), which prevents exponential growth while still allowing indirect connections through multiple levels. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by maintaining network versatility through hierarchical structure while controlling the complexity of the direct social graph.
2Productivity
If users can share content freely on social networking sites, then content circulation is enhanced, but users have no control over how their content is used and cannot withdraw it
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where content sharing is governed by explicit user permissions and consent. The system provides feedback loops allowing content owners to monitor, control, and withdraw their content at any time. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining content circulation through controlled sharing while ensuring reliability through continuous user control and feedback mechanisms.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If anonymous user profiles are used on social networking sites, then user privacy is protected, but information reliability decreases and distrust prevails
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating between public and private information. User profiles contain both anonymous elements (protecting privacy) and verified elements (ensuring reliability). Direct contacts can access verified identity information while strangers see only anonymous profiles. This resolves the contradiction by providing privacy protection at the global level while ensuring information reliability at the local interaction level.
4Productivity
If advertising-based financing is used, then economic sustainability is achieved, but user trust decreases due to lack of control over content usage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary layer of explicit user permissions and consent mechanisms between content owners and content users. This intermediary system allows for controlled content circulation that maintains user trust while enabling sustainable economic models. The intermediary framework ensures that content sharing is governed by user-defined rules rather than purely advertising-driven exploitation, resolving the contradiction between economic sustainability and user trust.

AI summary
The method involves generating a pair of certified identifiers of first user (U1) and second user (U2) allowing a communications session to be set up between communications devices (D1-U1,D2-U1,Dk-U1) of a first set and communications devices (D1-U2,D2-U2,Dk-U2) of a second set. Independent claims are also included for: (1) a program comprising program code instructions for executing the telecommunications link creation method when executed by processor; (2) a method of using a telecommunications link; (3) a program comprising program code instructions for executing the method for using a telecommunications link when executed by processor; (4) a telecommunication network device; and (5) a device for managing a relational service between users including a telecommunications network device.
