Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing eSIM activation processes require two-stage access and are complicated, and users find it difficult to select an optimal mobile communication plan.
Innovation Solution
An eSIM activation system and program that allows one-step activation using an activation server and a terminal device, enabling users to select and purchase a mobile communication plan based on their usage state and schedule, with the server providing a link and two-dimensional barcode for activation, and supporting payment and authentication processes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If two-stage access is used for eSIM activation (guidance site then activation site), then security and verification are improved, but the activation procedure becomes complicated and user-friendly operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the guidance site access and activation site access into a single integrated flow. The terminal device automatically transitions from guidance information to activation without requiring manual user intervention to switch between stages, effectively combining two separate access stages into one seamless operation while maintaining security verification.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal device acts as an intermediary that automatically handles the transition between guidance and activation stages. It receives guidance information, automatically accesses the activation site, and completes the activation process without requiring the user to manually navigate between different websites or stages, thus simplifying the user experience while maintaining security.
2Ease of manufacture
If users must select a communication carrier in advance, then purchase process is simplified, but the ability to select an optimal mobile communication plan deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the available communication plans based on the user's current location and usage conditions. Instead of requiring pre-selection of a fixed carrier, the terminal device receives guidance information that adapts to the user's situation, allowing selection from multiple carriers and plans that are optimal for the current context, thus providing both simplicity and flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameters of available plans based on location and usage state. The guidance information provided to the terminal device includes multiple communication plans with different parameters (data limits, speeds, pricing) that are optimized for the user's current situation, allowing dynamic selection rather than fixed pre-selection.
3Reliability
If multiple access stages are required for eSIM activation, then security verification is improved, but activation time and user convenience deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal device performs preliminary actions by automatically accessing the activation site and preparing the activation process based on guidance information received in advance. This preliminary automation reduces the time required for user intervention while maintaining all necessary security verification steps, thus reducing activation time without compromising verification reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system maintains continuous useful action by automatically transitioning from guidance reception to activation execution without interrupting the user flow. The terminal device continuously processes the activation sequence, maintaining the verification process while eliminating idle time between stages, thus reducing total activation time while preserving security checks.

AI summary
An eSIM activation system that allows a user to easily select an optimal mobile communication plan by making access for activation of an eSIM in one step. An eSIM terminal device 2 performs an eSIM application, a user selects a mobile communication plan in correspondence with a usage state and a usage schedule and makes a payment, when an e-mail address is input to the eSIM terminal device 2, an activation server 1 transmits a URL of an activation site to a user terminal to which the e-mail address is set, a user terminal 3 accesses the activation site from the URL and inputs a one-time authentication code to display a two-dimensional barcode on the user terminal 3, and when the two-dimensional barcode is read into a communication setting of the user terminal 3, activation is completed.
