Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional personalized information services in mobile communication terminals require users to pre-register their interests and manually update changes, causing inconvenience and inefficiency, as they cannot provide desired information without prior registration and require external server interaction.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus within the mobile communication terminal to analyze user data, determine user interest subjects, collect and classify service items, and recommend relevant services based on syntactic and semantic similarity, using a subject classification tree and Personalized PageRank algorithm, without the need for external registration or manual updates.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If users pre-register their interest fields to the server, then personalized information service can be provided, but user convenience deteriorates due to manual registration and updates required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalized information serviceVSAvoiduser registration and update
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal automatically analyzes user data (call logs, text messages, browsing history) to determine user interest fields without manual registration. The system self-updates interest fields when user behavior changes, eliminating the need for users to manually register or update their preferences while maintaining reliable personalized service

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal proactively collects and analyzes user data in advance to automatically determine interest fields before service requests occur. By performing preliminary analysis of user behavior patterns, the system prepares personalized service configurations automatically, removing the need for subsequent manual user actions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If the terminal analyzes user data locally to automatically determine interest fields, then user convenience improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic interest field determinationVSAvoiddata analysis capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary that performs complex data analysis and interest field determination. The terminal collects user data and transmits it to the server, which then analyzes the data and returns determined interest fields to the terminal. This mediator approach transfers computational complexity from the terminal to the server while maintaining automatic determination functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts the complex data analysis function from the terminal and relocates it to an external server. By separating the analysis capability from the terminal device, the system reduces terminal complexity while preserving the automatic interest field determination function through server-based processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Object-affected harmful factors

If the terminal collects and processes user data locally, then user data protection improves, but processing power requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser data protectionVSAvoiddata processing energy
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data processing workflow into two parts: local data collection and storage in the terminal, and remote data analysis on the server. This segmentation allows sensitive user data to remain protected in the terminal while leveraging server resources for energy-intensive analysis, balancing data protection with processing efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
