Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods struggle to effectively promote the use of mobile applications among users, particularly tourists, as they require knowledge of the user's application usage, making it difficult to prompt them to use applications with unknown usage patterns.

Innovation Solution

An external recording medium that stores installation information for mobile terminals, enabling them to install applications and establish connections with public line networks, ensuring users recognize and utilize the applications by requiring installation and usage initiation for network access.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If application promotion requires knowledge of user's application usage, then existing methods can target specific users, but it becomes difficult to prompt tourists or users with unknown usage patterns to use applications

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplicability to different user typesVSAvoiduser application usage knowledge
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by distributing external recording media containing application installation programs before users (especially tourists) need to use the applications. The media is provided in advance at locations like airports and hotels, allowing installation to occur before the user encounters situations where the application would be useful, thus eliminating the need to detect or know current usage patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Quantity of substance

If external recording medium stores only necessary application installation programs, then memory efficiency is improved, but the system must carefully manage what information to retain

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvememory usage efficiencyVSAvoidinformation management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential elements needed for application installation and network connection from the external recording medium. Specifically, it stores the application installation program and network connection information (SSID, password) while excluding unnecessary data. This extraction approach optimizes memory usage by including only critical components: the installer executable, configuration data for network access, and minimal metadata.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
