Multi-User Mobile Terminal Linking for User-Specific Network Services
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication systems struggle to identify and differentiate between multiple users using a single mobile terminal, leading to inconsistent service provision and security vulnerabilities.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device configured to transmit a link request message with a user identifier, receive confirmation of association with a wireless network, and obtain updated configuration information based on the user identifier, enabling user-aware service delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the network provides generic service configuration for all users, then device compatibility is improved, but user-specific service differentiation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The network configuration is segmented into user-specific portions. Each user receives a dedicated configuration message containing parameters tailored to their service profile, rather than a single generic configuration for all users. This allows the network to provide differentiated services (e.g., different QoS parameters, access rights, or service quality levels) while maintaining manageable complexity through structured message formats.
2Reliability
If the network implements user identification and association, then service security is improved, but system complexity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
User identification and association are performed preliminarily during the initial service setup or device registration phase. The network establishes user profiles and associates them with device identifiers before actual service delivery begins. This preliminary authentication and profile creation ensures security requirements are met while avoiding repeated complex authentication processes during service operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary configuration message that carries user identification information and associates it with device parameters. This intermediary mechanism acts as a mediator between the authentication system and the service delivery system, simplifying the overall architecture by providing a standardized interface for user-device association without requiring direct complex interactions between all system components.
3Measurement precision
If the network transmits updated configuration information for each user, then service accuracy is improved, but communication overhead deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The configuration messages contain locally optimized information tailored to each user's specific service requirements. Rather than transmitting complete configuration sets for all users, the network sends only the relevant user-specific parameters needed for accurate service provisioning. This reduces data transmission volume while maintaining high service accuracy for each individual user.

AI summary
An electronic device is configured to transmit, to a wireless network, a link request message requesting a user identifier be associated with an identifier corresponding to the electronic device; receive, from the wireless network, a registration response confirming that the user identifier has been associated with the identifier corresponding to the electronic device; and receive, from the wireless network, updated configuration information for the electronic device, wherein at least part of configuration information is associated with the user identifier.
