Per-SIM Traffic Measurement and Display for Mobile Phones
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile phone Internet traffic measurement functions are inadequate for users with multiple SIM cards, as they cannot accurately measure and display traffic for each SIM card separately, failing to meet user requirements for efficient data management and cost control.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for a mobile phone that creates a unique account for each SIM card, monitors and measures Internet traffic, and displays it separately, allowing users to view traffic usage for each SIM card, including options for displaying usage in MB or surfing time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single Internet traffic measurement module is used in the mobile phone, then the device complexity is reduced, but the measurement precision for multiple SIM cards deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the traffic measurement function into separate modules for each SIM card. Specifically, it creates a one-to-one correspondence between SIM cards and traffic measurement modules, where each module independently measures traffic for its associated SIM card. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by maintaining simple overall structure while achieving precise per-SIM measurement through functional division.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the mobile phone supports multiple SIM cards, then the adaptability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal traffic measurement system that can handle any number of SIM cards through a standardized architecture. The system uses a uniform data structure (TrafficMeasurementData class) and consistent measurement logic that works regardless of how many SIM cards are present. This multi-functionality approach allows the system to adapt to different SIM card configurations without requiring separate complex handling logic for each scenario.
3Ease of operation
If traffic measurement is implemented at the mobile phone level, then the ease of operation is improved, but the measurement precision for individual SIM cards deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments traffic measurement and display functions to operate at the mobile phone level while maintaining per-SIM card precision. The system creates separate measurement modules for each SIM card, then aggregates their results for unified display through the phone's interface. This allows users to conveniently query traffic information through a single phone operation while receiving accurate, separate measurements for each SIM card.
