Wireless Connection Right Transfer and Data Sync
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication systems lack an efficient method for sharing data among multiple devices, particularly when devices with and without valid Machine Communication Identity Modules (MCIMs) need to synchronize data, as existing solutions require physical storage on SIM cards and are inflexible.
Innovation Solution
A wireless communication apparatus and method that allows for the transfer of connection rights and data synchronization between devices, using a management system to facilitate the transfer of connection rights and data between devices with and without valid MCIMs, enabling flexible data sharing across multiple devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If connection rights are stored on physical SIM cards, then device security and network authentication are ensured, but data sharing between multiple devices becomes inflexible and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a copy of the connection right data from the SIM card to the server. The SIM card information including connection rights is transmitted to the server, which stores this data. This allows the connection rights to be accessed by multiple devices without physically moving or copying the SIM card itself, thus maintaining security while enabling flexible sharing.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary between the SIM card and multiple wireless communication devices. Instead of directly sharing connection rights between devices or storing them on multiple SIM cards, the server mediates the process by receiving SIM card information, storing it, and providing it to authorized devices, thus simplifying the sharing mechanism while maintaining security.
2Adaptability or versatility
If MCIM is handled as software rather than physical storage, then storage flexibility improves, but data synchronization between devices becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the data synchronization function with the connection right transfer process. When connection rights are transferred from one device to another, the system automatically synchronizes relevant data (such as address books and schedules) in the same transaction. This combines two separate operations into one, reducing overall system complexity despite the software-based approach.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the server monitors and manages data synchronization status across multiple devices. When data is updated on one device, the system tracks these changes and automatically propagates them to other devices with appropriate connection rights, reducing the complexity of manual synchronization management.
3Ease of operation
If data is synchronized across multiple devices with different connection rights, then user convenience improves, but network management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The server is designed with multi-functionality, handling not only connection right management but also data storage, synchronization, and distribution across multiple devices. By consolidating these functions in a single universal platform, the system reduces overall network management complexity despite serving multiple purposes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service mechanisms where devices automatically receive and synchronize data based on their connection rights without requiring manual intervention from network administrators. The server autonomously manages data distribution to appropriate devices, reducing the burden of network management while maintaining user convenience.

AI summary
Provided is a wireless communication apparatus including an accepting unit that accepts a transfer operation to transfer a connection right from a first wireless communication apparatus to which the connection right to connect to a predetermined network using wireless communication is set to a second wireless communication apparatus to which the connection right is not set, and a control unit that, when the transfer operation is accepted, transmits a transfer request that requests the connection right to be transferred from the first wireless communication apparatus to the second wireless communication apparatus with information included in the transfer request, the information being used for synchronizing data in the second wireless communication apparatus with predetermined data in the first wireless communication apparatus.
