Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If cellular network data is collected from multiple heterogeneous sources (different mobile network operators and interoperation providers), then the quantity and diversity of available data increases, but the complexity of data management and processing increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of network dataVSAvoiddata management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a centralized data management platform that acts as an intermediary between multiple heterogeneous network data sources. This platform standardizes data collection, processing, and analysis across different mobile network operators and interoperation providers, reducing the complexity that would otherwise arise from managing diverse data sources directly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs a universal data processing framework that can handle multiple types of network data from various sources through standardized interfaces. This multi-functional approach allows the same processing mechanisms to work across different data formats and sources, reducing overall system complexity despite the diversity of inputs.

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

2Productivity

If real-time data processing and analysis is implemented across multiple network sources, then the ability to enhance end-user experience and operational efficiency improves, but the computational resources and processing time required increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational efficiencyVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the real-time data processing system into segmented functional modules, each handling specific aspects of data analysis. This segmentation allows computational tasks to be distributed and optimized independently, reducing overall resource consumption while maintaining real-time processing capabilities for enhancing operational efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive data collection from heterogeneous sources is performed, then the accuracy and completeness of network analysis improves, but the difficulty of integrating and standardizing data from different sources increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork analysis accuracyVSAvoiddata integration difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements data standardization mechanisms that transform heterogeneous data from different network sources into a homogeneous format. This homogenization process maintains the accuracy and completeness of network analysis by ensuring all data follows consistent schemas, while significantly reducing the difficulty of integration and measurement across diverse sources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #33Homogeneity

AI summary

A method of providing enhanced mobile communications services through collecting, analyzing, and utilizing cellular network data is described. The method configures an intelligence engine based on a set of rules. The method receives the set of rules through a user interface or generates the set of rules through performing an analysis on the network data by the intelligence engine. The method receives network data events and correlates the received network data events. The intelligence engine determines an action in response to a correlated network data event. The action includes sending a text message or email containing an offer to a mobile communications services subscriber, or updating a database. The method then performs the action.
