Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for collecting user behavior statistics in mobile communication systems are slow, leading to delayed reactions and inability to provide real-time information or services based on user behavior.

Innovation Solution

The integration of an Online Statistics and Advertisement Server (OSAS) within the IMS, allowing for real-time collection and evaluation of user behavior data during connection setup, enabling immediate delivery of relevant information and services through multimedia formats like images, text, and music.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If connection data are evaluated offline in IT and Data Warehouse Systems, then statistical data can be collected, but the evaluation is slow and delayed by at least several hours

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation delayVSAvoidstatistical data collection speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by collecting and evaluating statistical data during the connection setup phase rather than waiting for connection completion. The OSAS server processes user behavior data in real-time as connections are established, enabling immediate evaluation without waiting for offline batch processing to complete.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical offline batch processing system with an online real-time processing system. Instead of using traditional offline evaluation methods that require significant time, the OSAS server implements continuous real-time monitoring and evaluation of connection data during the signaling phase, substituting the slow mechanical process with a fast electronic real-time system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If CDRs are fetched and evaluated offline, then statistical conclusions can be drawn, but real-time reaction to user behavior is not possible

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestatistical conclusion accuracyVSAvoidreaction time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback by continuously monitoring user behavior data during connection setup and immediately responding with relevant information. The OSAS server processes statistical data in real-time and provides feedback to users through personalized information delivery, enabling dynamic adaptation to user behavior patterns as they occur rather than reacting after delays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If online evaluation is implemented during connection setup, then real-time user behavior evaluation is possible, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestatistical data collection speedVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by designing the OSAS server to perform multiple functions within the IMS architecture. The server handles statistical data collection, evaluation, and personalized information delivery all within a single integrated component, reducing the need for separate complex systems while achieving real-time processing capabilities.

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