Data Transmission Profile Matching for WAP Gateway Conversion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for transmitting user data objects, especially encrypted or packed objects, face inefficiencies due to the inability of WAP gateways to handle conversions, leading to unnecessary data format changes, increased processing costs, and potential quality loss, particularly in Digital Rights Management and Multimedia Messaging Service scenarios.
Innovation Solution
The method involves creating an overall profile information object that distinguishes between user data objects that can be directly processed by the telecommunication device and those that require conversion, allowing the data supply component to prioritize direct transmission and minimize unnecessary conversions, using sub-profile information objects to update and manage these profiles dynamically.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the connection component (WAP gateway) converts user data objects to match device capabilities, then compatibility with telecommunication devices is improved, but processing time and quality loss increase
Solution Approach 1:
The data supply component performs preliminary actions by determining device capabilities beforehand and selecting appropriate user data object formats in advance, avoiding the need for conversion during transmission. The system proactively matches content format to device requirements before the conversion process would be triggered.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the conversion function from the connection component (WAP gateway) and relocates it to the data supply component. This allows the system to selectively apply conversion only when necessary, rather than universally converting all user data objects, thereby reducing unnecessary processing time and quality loss.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the connection component converts user data objects, then compatibility is improved, but processing costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The conversion function is extracted from the connection component and relocated to the data supply component. This enables intelligent decision-making about when conversion is actually needed, reducing unnecessary processing operations and associated costs.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of who performs the conversion (from connection component to data supply component) and under what conditions (only when device capability mismatch is detected). This parameter change enables cost optimization by avoiding redundant conversion operations.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the data supply component transmits user data objects requiring conversion, then data variety is improved, but transmission efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The data supply component dynamically changes the format parameter of user data objects based on detected device capabilities. By adapting the content format to match device requirements, the system eliminates the need for intermediate conversion and improves transmission efficiency while maintaining data variety.
Solution Approach 2:
The data supply component performs self-service by automatically determining device capabilities and selecting appropriate formats without requiring external conversion intervention. This self-adaptation mechanism improves transmission efficiency by eliminating unnecessary conversion steps in the data path.

AI summary
Disclosed is a method for transmitting user data objects from a data-supplying component or a data server to a telecommunication device of a user via a connection component. The data-supplying component is informed via profile information in a profile object what types of user data objects the connection component or the telecommunication unit is able to process on its own such that the data supplying component can specifically transmit user data objects to the telecommunication device, which belong to the type that the telecommunication device can process. Hence, the data-supplying component is prevented from sending user data objects of a type that has to be converted by the connection component on the transmission path in order to be able to processed by the telecommunication device.
