Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for accessing multimedia content and privileged services from mobile wireless communication terminals via cellular radiotelephone networks are hindered by lengthy connection times, particularly due to the establishment of protocol layers and data transmission, which is not adequately addressed by existing solutions that focus on content reduction, compression, or network bandwidth increases.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that utilize a unidirectional broadcast center to pre-load and manage predetermined data, including identification characteristics, for efficient access via a unidirectional channel common to all mobile terminals, allowing direct access to multimedia content or privileged services through a mobile terminal with mass storage and authorization means, enabling faster connection establishment and reduced waiting times.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If content reduction is used to improve access speed, then data transmission time is reduced, but content quality and information completeness deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess timeVSAvoidcontent quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent pre-loads complete multimedia content and service data into the mobile terminal before the user actually needs to access it. This preliminary action stores the full-quality content locally, eliminating both transmission delays and content reduction, as the data is already available in the terminal's storage memory when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Quantity of substance

If data compression is used to reduce transmission volume, then data size is reduced, but processing time increases and energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata volumeVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs data preparation and formatting in advance during the pre-loading phase, so that when the user accesses the content, no compression or decompression processing is needed. The data is already in its final usable form in the terminal's storage, eliminating processing time and energy consumption at access moment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts the data transmission and processing steps from the user access process. By pre-loading complete content directly into terminal storage, it removes the need for real-time compression, transmission, and decompression operations during user interaction, thus eliminating processing delays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Speed

If network bandwidth is increased to improve transmission speed, then data transmission rate is improved, but network infrastructure cost and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission speedVSAvoidnetwork infrastructure
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent shifts the data transmission operation from the network infrastructure to the user's mobile terminal through pre-loading. By storing complete content locally in advance, the system eliminates the need for high-bandwidth network transmission during user access, thereby reducing demands on network infrastructure while maintaining fast access speeds.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Loss of time

If connection establishment procedures are simplified to reduce access time, then connection speed is improved, but protocol layer negotiation and service subscription completeness deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection establishment timeVSAvoidprotocol negotiation completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs all protocol layer negotiations, service subscriptions, and connection establishment procedures in advance during the pre-loading phase. By the time the user needs to access content, the terminal is already fully connected and authorized, so no additional negotiation or connection steps are needed at access moment, ensuring both speed and completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
