Client Identity Component Data Push via Network Address Handshake
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Credential management servers in telecommunications networks face challenges in establishing data channels with client devices without knowing their location, necessitating SMS messages or client device polling for data transmission.
Innovation Solution
A network address server provides network addresses to credential management servers, enabling direct data channel establishment with client devices through a handshake process, eliminating the need for SMS messages and polling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the credential management server sends an SMS message to the client device to initiate a data channel, then the data channel can be established, but the system complexity increases due to dependency on SMS infrastructure
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a network address server as an intermediary component that provides the client device's network address to the credential management server. This mediator enables direct data channel establishment without requiring SMS messages or polling, thereby reducing system complexity while maintaining ease of operation.
2Ease of operation
If the client device polls the credential management server for data, then the data channel can be established, but the loss of time increases due to unnecessary connections when no data is available
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by having the network address server provide the client device's network address to the credential management server in advance. This allows the credential management server to initiate data channels only when data needs to be transmitted, eliminating unnecessary polling connections and reducing time loss.
3Productivity
If the credential management server obtains network address information from a network address server, then direct data transmission to client devices is enabled, but the device complexity increases due to additional server components
Solution Approach 1:
The network address server is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as an address repository and as a routing facilitator. By consolidating these functions into a single universal component, the patent enables efficient direct data transmission without proportionally increasing system complexity.
