Solution Overview

Problem

The complexity of setting call transfer functions for multiple operator profiles in an eSIM card leads to inefficient operation steps and service inefficiency when switching between different telephone packages.

Innovation Solution

Grouping N operator profiles into M paging groups within an eSIM card, enabling a call transfer function among profiles in the same group, allowing automatic call transfer between active and inactive profiles without the need for individual setup for each profile.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If call transfer functions are configured for each operator profile individually, then call transfer capability is achieved, but operation complexity and setup time increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecall transfer setupVSAvoidconfiguration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple operator profiles into a single group, enabling call transfer functionality to be configured once for the entire group rather than individually for each profile. This reduces configuration steps and operational complexity while maintaining call transfer capability across all profiles in the group.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a paging group that serves multiple operator profiles with a single configuration. The group-level configuration provides universal call transfer functionality that applies to all member profiles, making the system more efficient and easier to operate.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Productivity

If multiple operator profiles are managed separately, then individual profile control is maintained, but service efficiency decreases due to repeated setup operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice efficiencyVSAvoidsetup time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

By combining multiple operator profiles into a single paging group, the system eliminates the need for repeated setup operations for each profile. The call transfer configuration is performed once at the group level, significantly reducing setup time and improving service efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary grouping of operator profiles before call transfer configuration is needed. This pre-organization allows for efficient batch management and reduces the time required for setup operations when switching between different telephone packages.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If call transfer is enabled among all profiles, then comprehensive coverage is achieved, but system complexity and management difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprofile switching capabilityVSAvoidmanagement complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments operator profiles into distinct paging groups based on specific criteria, allowing for organized management of call transfer relationships. This segmentation maintains comprehensive coverage while reducing management complexity through structured grouping.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies call transfer functionality locally within defined paging groups rather than universally across all profiles. This allows for targeted configuration that achieves comprehensive coverage within each group while keeping overall system management simpler through localized quality control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A paging method includes grouping, by user equipment, N operator Profiles in an eSIM card, to generate M paging groups. One paging group includes at least two Profiles, and a call transfer function is enabled among paging identifiers corresponding to Profiles in a same paging group. A paging identifier corresponding to another Profile other than a Profile in an active state in the same paging group transfers a call to a paging identifier corresponding to the Profile in the active state. N and M are positive integers.
