Solution Overview

Problem

In fifth-generation mobile communication, users may encounter inconvenience due to network names containing non-Latin characters, which they cannot understand, leading to unnecessary information being displayed on their devices.

Innovation Solution

A method for wireless communication devices to process network ID information by displaying a setting screen for language settings related to network names, allowing users to input their preferred language, and then displaying the network name based on this setting and the received network ID information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If the terminal displays the network name received from the serving network, then the user can see network information, but non-Latin characters cause inconvenience to Latin-based users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork name displayVSAvoiduser understanding
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal stores multiple network name translations corresponding to different languages in advance. When network ID information is received, the terminal proactively matches it with pre-stored translations and displays the appropriate language version, eliminating the need for real-time translation processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal changes the display parameter (language/character set) of the network name based on the received network ID information. By detecting the language type from the network ID and adjusting the display character set accordingly, the terminal transforms incompatible non-Latin characters into user-friendly Latin-based representations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If the terminal displays network name in original form, then all network information is preserved, but users cannot understand non-Latin characters

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork information accuracyVSAvoidunreadable characters
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal introduces a translation table as an intermediary between the original network ID information and the displayed network name. This translation table contains corresponding relationships between network IDs and their translations in multiple languages, acting as a mediator that converts unreadable non-Latin characters into understandable Latin-based text while preserving the original network information identity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Device complexity

If the terminal displays network name without translation, then processing is simple, but user experience deteriorates due to language barriers

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing complexityVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal performs translation preparation in advance by storing multiple network name translations in its memory. When network ID information is received, the terminal simply retrieves the corresponding pre-translated name from storage, avoiding complex real-time translation processing and maintaining simple device operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal creates and stores copy versions of network names in different languages. Instead of translating the original network ID information in real-time, the terminal maintains multiple copies of network names in various languages and directly displays the appropriate copy based on the detected language type, simplifying the processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
