Gateway Device for Flexible Mobile Network Information Provision
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile communication networks lack the flexibility to provide network information in response to requests from third-party servers, limiting the diversity of services that can be offered.
Innovation Solution
A service providing system that includes an information collection mechanism to gather node holding information from mobile communication network devices and generate mobile communication network information, which is then transmitted to a service providing server, enabling flexible provision of network information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the existing mobile communication network configuration is maintained, then the network structure remains stable and simple, but the network cannot flexibly provide network information to third-party servers
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a gateway device as an intermediary component between the mobile communication network and third-party servers. This gateway collects node holding information from network nodes, generates mobile communication network information, and transmits it to service providing servers. This intermediary structure enables flexible information provision without fundamentally altering the core network configuration, thus resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If network information is made accessible to third-party servers, then service diversity increases, but network security and information control become more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The gateway device serves as a controlled intermediary that selectively provides network information to authorized third-party servers. It collects information from network nodes, processes it into mobile communication network information, and transmits only to servers that have made service information acquisition requests. This maintains information control and security while enabling service diversity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by collecting and processing node holding information into standardized mobile communication network information before transmission to third-party servers. This preliminary processing ensures that only validated and appropriately formatted information is released, maintaining control over network information while enabling diverse services.
