Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for configuring mobile terminal parameters, such as the OMA CP protocol, are complex, require user initiation, and do not support all mobile terminals or new functions, limiting convenience and universality.
Innovation Solution
A method using near-field communication (NFC) for mobile terminals to negotiate and receive application parameters from a configurator, allowing automatic configuration through supported file types or readable text formats, enabling adaptation to various terminal models and functions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If OMA CP protocol is used for parameter configuration, then automatic configuration is achieved, but device complexity increases and compatibility is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the configuration file delivery from complex protocol negotiations and separates it into a simple NFC file transfer process. The configurator generates a configuration file containing OMA CP parameters and delivers it via NFC, bypassing the need for complex real-time protocol negotiation between the terminal and network side.
Solution Approach 2:
The configurator performs preliminary actions by pre-generating configuration files with all necessary OMA CP parameters before the terminal needs them. This allows the terminal to receive a complete configuration package via NFC and execute it locally, eliminating the need for complex runtime negotiation.
2Device complexity
If manual parameter configuration is used, then device complexity is reduced, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal performs self-service by automatically receiving the configuration file via NFC and executing the OMA CP parameters locally without requiring user intervention in the configuration process. The user simply needs to initiate the NFC connection, and the system handles the rest automatically.
3Reliability
If OMA CP protocol is used, then parameter configuration capability is improved, but adaptability to different terminals deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The NFC-based file delivery mechanism serves as a universal interface that works across different terminal types. The configurator can generate configuration files compatible with various terminal platforms (Android, iOS, Symbian, etc.), and the NFC transfer protocol remains consistent regardless of the terminal's operating system or capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The configuration file contains adaptable parameters that can be adjusted based on terminal capabilities. The configurator can modify the configuration file contents to match the specific terminal type, ensuring OMA CP protocol compatibility while maintaining universal delivery through NFC.
4Ease of operation
If user initiation is required for configuration, then configuration control is improved, but productivity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent skips the time-consuming steps of manual parameter entry and complex protocol negotiations by using NFC for rapid file transfer. The entire configuration process that would otherwise take minutes of manual input or lengthy negotiations is reduced to a quick NFC tap and automatic file execution.
