Mobile Network Structure for Secure Local Connectivity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face high costs and security risks when using international roam services for internet access with mobile devices abroad, as international roam services are expensive and using local free Wi-Fi can expose devices to hacking threats.
Innovation Solution
A mobile network structure that connects a mobile electronic device to a local communications provider via a processor, communications unit with multiple interfaces, and a SIM card slot, enabling secure and cost-effective internet access by using a local SIM card and virtual 4G mobile wide band transmission interface, while maintaining information safety.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If international roam service is used for net-surfing abroad, then network connectivity is achieved, but usage cost increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a communications unit as an intermediary device that establishes a local network connection between the user's mobile electronic device and the local communications provider. This mediator enables internet access through local networks rather than international roaming, significantly reducing usage costs while maintaining connectivity reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments the network connection function into a separate communications unit with multiple communication interfaces. This unit can independently establish local network connections while the user's mobile device maintains its original functionality, allowing cost-effective local access without sacrificing international connectivity capabilities
2Loss of energy
If local free Wi-Fi is used for net-surfing, then usage cost is reduced, but information safety deteriorates due to hacking risks
Solution Approach 1:
The communications unit serves as a secure intermediary between the user's mobile device and local networks. It implements authentication mechanisms and secure communication protocols that protect user information while enabling cost-effective local network access, eliminating the security risks of unsecured public Wi-Fi
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates authentication and security verification mechanisms that provide feedback on connection safety. The communications unit verifies local communications providers and establishes secure connections, ensuring information safety while maintaining cost benefits of local networks
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple communication interfaces are integrated in the communications unit, then adaptability improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple communication interfaces (4G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) into a single integrated communications unit. This merging approach provides diverse network compatibility and adaptability while maintaining a unified, manageable device structure that does not significantly increase overall complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The communications unit is designed with multi-functionality, incorporating multiple communication interfaces that can adapt to different network environments. This universal design enables the device to connect through various networks (international roaming, local 4G, local Wi-Fi) without requiring separate dedicated devices for each function
Data Source
AI summary
A mobile network structure comprises a processor; a communications unit, connected to the processor, comprising a first communications interface, a second communications interface, and a third communications interface; an operation unit, connected to the processor; at least a SIM card slot, connected to the processor; and a power unit, connected to the processor. As such, the communications unit is used to get connected with a local communications provider, so that a mobile electronic device of a user may be used for net-surfing through the communications unit, to achieve the efficacies of a reduced use cost, a use convenience and an efficient guaranteed information safety.
