Solution Overview

Problem

Users of telecommunications-enabled devices face limitations in subscribing to and using multiple telecommunication services from different providers, often requiring multiple devices or manual switching between services.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for persona-based telecommunication service subscriptions, where usage of a device is detected, and the appropriate persona is determined to associate with the usage, allowing the device to automatically connect to the subscribed telecommunication service, enabling seamless switching between different service providers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a user subscribes to multiple telecommunication services from different providers, then the user can access diverse telecommunication services, but the user must carry multiple devices or manually switch between services

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess to diverse telecommunication servicesVSAvoidmanual switching between services
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the telecommunication service access by introducing persona-based service profiles. Each persona represents a distinct service subscription with its own service provider, service type, and configuration parameters. The system divides the complex multi-service management into separate persona entities, allowing automatic selection and switching between services based on the active persona, thereby eliminating manual switching while maintaining access to diverse services

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal device platform that can handle multiple telecommunication services from different providers through a single device. The system implements multi-functionality by enabling the device to dynamically associate with different service providers and service types based on the active persona, making one device capable of performing the functions previously requiring multiple devices

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

2Reliability

If a user registers a device under a single subscription, then the device is serviced according to that subscription, but the user cannot easily access multiple different services

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice according to subscriptionVSAvoidaccess to multiple services
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces dynamic persona activation and deactivation mechanisms. The system allows the user to dynamically switch between different service personas based on current needs, with each persona maintaining its own reliable service connection to the appropriate service provider. The dynamic switching is achieved through persona selection interfaces and automatic service association, enabling the device to adaptively connect to different services while maintaining reliable connections for each active service

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for persona based telecommunication service subscriptions. Usage of a device is detected, and one of a plurality of personas configured for the device is determined to be associated with the usage of the device. Additionally, at least one telecommunication service subscribed to by the persona is identified. Further, the usage of the device is serviced using the identified telecommunication service.
