Solution Overview

Problem

The existing methods for provisioning mobile services, such as mobile mailboxes, are inefficient, requiring multiple steps and significant user time, especially when network failures occur, leading to a low efficiency in service provisioning.

Innovation Solution

A mobile terminal with modules for determining the need for service provisioning, collecting and transmitting register information, and automatically setting up service modules based on server responses, allowing for automated service provisioning without user intervention.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual service provisioning is used, then service can be provided to users, but the process is time-consuming and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice provisioning efficiencyVSAvoiduser time for service provisioning
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The mobile terminal automatically detects service requirements, collects necessary register information, transmits requests to servers, and configures service modules without user intervention. The terminal serves itself by autonomously completing the entire service provisioning process, eliminating the need for manual user input and significantly reducing time consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal performs preliminary actions by automatically detecting whether service provisioning is needed, pre-collecting required register information, and preparing service module configurations before actual service activation. This preliminary preparation streamlines the subsequent provisioning process and reduces overall time required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of time

If automated service provisioning is implemented, then provisioning time is reduced, but the terminal complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice provisioning timeVSAvoidterminal structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal integrates multiple functions into unified modules: the determining module handles service detection and necessity assessment, the register information collecting module manages information gathering, the transmitting module handles communication, and the setting module performs configuration. This multi-functional integration reduces the number of separate components needed while maintaining automation capabilities.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines previously separate provisioning steps into integrated modules. The determining module, collecting module, transmitting module, and setting module work together as a cohesive automated provisioning system, merging detection, information gathering, communication, and configuration functions into a unified process that reduces overall system complexity despite adding automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Reliability

If service provisioning requires multiple steps, then comprehensive service setup is achieved, but the process becomes complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice provisioning completenessVSAvoidprovisioning process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The provisioning process is segmented into distinct functional modules: determination of service necessity, collection of register information, transmission of requests, and setting of service modules. Each module handles a specific aspect of provisioning, making the complex multi-step process more manageable and systematic while ensuring completeness through structured progression through each segment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal receives service setting information from servers as feedback and uses this information to properly configure service modules. This feedback mechanism ensures that the provisioning process is complete and accurate, as the terminal adapts its configuration based on server responses, maintaining reliability while streamlining the process through automated feedback-driven configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
