Solution Overview

Problem

Current presence services in communication networks only provide limited status information input by users and do not offer a seamless service based on the status information of called parties, lacking the ability to acquire detailed status information and conveniently share it.

Innovation Solution

An apparatus and method that automatically extracts and transmits application and content information from a Mobile Station (MS) to a presence server, enabling the generation and sharing of detailed presence information, including the status of applications and content usage, and allows users to request and share content based on this information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If traditional presence service provides only user-input status information, then system complexity is reduced, but information detail and service capability are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestatus information detailVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically extracting application and content information from the MS before transmitting to the presence server. This automation of information gathering eliminates the need for manual user input while providing detailed status information, thus resolving the contradiction between information detail and system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The MS apparatus performs self-service by automatically generating and transmitting its own presence information including application and content details. This self-automated information provision enriches the status information without requiring additional system complexity for manual data collection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If presence service provides only basic status information, then ease of operation is maintained, but service capability and user interaction are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice capabilityVSAvoidoperation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables advanced service capability through automated extraction and transmission of detailed presence information including application and content data. This self-automated approach provides rich service functionality without requiring complex user operations, thus resolving the contradiction between service capability and ease of operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If manual input of presence information is required, then information accuracy is ensured, but productivity and service efficiency are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice efficiencyVSAvoidinformation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The MS apparatus automatically extracts application and content information from its own operational state and transmits this accurate presence information to the presence server. This self-automated information generation maintains high accuracy by using actual system state data while dramatically improving service efficiency by eliminating manual input processes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces the mechanical manual input process with an automated electronic information extraction mechanism. The controller automatically gathers presence information from application and content data, substituting manual user input with an efficient electronic process that maintains accuracy while improving productivity

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