Mobile Station User Information Grouping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile stations face difficulties in managing and communicating user-specific information items, such as user names, telephone numbers, and email addresses, as these items are independently stored and maintained, making it challenging for users to manage them as a whole.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for automatically grouping user-specific information items in a mobile station by reading and storing these items in a user information file or message, allowing them to be easily sent through a wireless communication network as a single message.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If user-specific information items are independently stored and maintained in separate files or applications, then each information item can be managed individually, but it becomes difficult for users to manage or communicate this information as a whole
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple independently stored user-specific information items (such as user name, telephone number, e-mail address, and PIN) into a single user information file. This merging allows users to manage all their personal information in one place rather than navigating through multiple separate files or applications, thereby improving ease of operation while reducing information management complexity
2Adaptability or versatility
If user-specific information items are stored separately in different files or applications, then data structure flexibility is maintained, but the ability to communicate user information as a complete set is hindered
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a unified user information file that consolidates all user-specific information items into a single structured format. This enables the complete set of user information to be communicated together in one transmission, enhancing the adaptability and versatility of information communication while simplifying the organization structure compared to managing multiple separate files

AI summary
Methods and apparatus for automatically grouping user-specific information items (400) in a mobile station (102) are disclosed. In one illustrative example, a method includes the steps of reading a first user-specific information item (404, 406, 408, or 410) associated with a first file or application of the mobile station (102); storing the first user-specific information item (404, 406, 408, or 410) in a user information file or message (402) of the mobile station (102); and repeating the acts of reading and storing for at least a second user-specific information item (404, 406, 408, or 410) associated with a second file or application of the mobile station (102), so that the first and the second user-specific information items are grouped together as user information in the user information file or message (402). Examples of user-specific information items (400) include a user name (404) associated with an end user of the mobile station (102), a telephone number (406) (e.g. an IMSI) of the mobile station (102), an e-mail address (408) associated with an e-mail communication application of the mobile station (102), and a Personal Identification Number (PIN) (410) of the mobile station (102). The user information file or message (402) containing the user-specific information items (400) may easily be transmitted from the mobile station (102) to one or more recipients through a wireless communication network (104) in a message such as an e-mail or PIN message.
