Solution Overview

Problem

Current security measures for mobile terminals are inadequate, as they primarily rely on entry-level protection methods, making them vulnerable to data leakage and infection, especially with advanced hacking techniques, and existing mobile communication control apparatuses only encrypt and decrypt data without validating its content or network resources, leading to potential security breaches and instability.

Innovation Solution

An apparatus that detects and controls infected mobile terminals by separating packets into authentication and transmission packets in a packet exchange section, using a blacklist module for deep packet inspection, and a resource management module to manage communication resources, thereby isolating infected terminals from the network by updating terminal identification numbers and releasing radio resources when abnormal traffic is detected.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If dedicated vaccine software is installed in mobile terminals, then security protection is provided, but hackers can develop techniques to avoid the vaccine software, making security unstable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity stabilityVSAvoidhacker evasion capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a mobile communication control apparatus as an intermediary between mobile terminals and the network. This mediator performs deep packet inspection and validates data content, preventing hacker evasion by checking actual data content rather than relying solely on terminal-side vaccine software. The control apparatus acts as a security gateway that can detect and block malicious communications regardless of terminal protection measures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical approach of terminal-based vaccine software with a network-based control system. Instead of relying on software installed in terminals that hackers can bypass, the system uses centralized packet processing and deep inspection at the network level, substituting distributed terminal security with centralized network security control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Productivity

If mobile communication control apparatus encrypts and decrypts data, then transmission efficiency is enhanced, but data validity and network resource stability are not ensured

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission efficiencyVSAvoiddata validity and network stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data processing function into two parts: encryption/decryption for efficiency and deep packet inspection for validity. The control apparatus separates these functions by first handling encryption/decryption to maintain transmission efficiency, then performing additional deep inspection of the decrypted data content to ensure validity and detect abnormalities, thus achieving both efficiency and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing deep packet inspection and validity checking before data is fully processed and transmitted. The control apparatus预先 validates data content and checks for abnormalities in the decryption process, preventing invalid data from propagating through the network and causing stability issues.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If packet inspection and validation are performed, then security is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork securityVSAvoidcontrol apparatus complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by designing a mobile communication control apparatus that performs multiple functions: encryption, decryption, deep packet inspection, data validation, and abnormality detection. By consolidating these diverse security and processing functions into a single multi-functional apparatus, the system improves security without proportionally increasing overall system complexity, as one device handles what would otherwise require multiple specialized components.

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