Solution Overview

Problem

Existing user equipment systems face challenges in efficiently managing personalization information and service operator information, leading to difficulties in determining user access rights for services, especially when service operators change.

Innovation Solution

The user equipment is equipped with a storage system to store personalization management information, including multiple pieces of personalization and service operator information, and a personalization module that detects matched information using reference data from a smart card, determining user access rights based on this information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If personalization information and service operator information are stored separately, then each piece of information can be managed independently, but the complexity of managing multiple separate information structures increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to service operator changesVSAvoidcomplexity of information management structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges personalization information and service operator information into a single personalization management information structure stored in the user equipment. This unified structure contains multiple personalization categories, each associated with service operator information, allowing the system to manage diverse information types in one consolidated manner that reduces structural complexity while maintaining adaptability to service operator changes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Adaptability or versatility

If personalization management information is updated when service operator changes, then the system can adapt to new operators, but the time required for updates increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to service operator changesVSAvoidupdate time for personalization management information
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-storing multiple service operator information entries within the personalization management information structure before service operator changes occur. When a service operator changes, the system can immediately access the pre-existing operator information without requiring time-consuming updates, thus reducing adaptation time while maintaining full adaptability to operator changes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple personalization categories are supported, then the system can serve diverse user needs, but the complexity of detecting and matching information increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesupport for multiple personalization categoriesVSAvoidcomplexity of information detection process
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the personalization management information into distinct personalization categories, where each category is associated with specific service operator information. This segmented structure allows the system to support multiple personalization categories for diverse user needs while simplifying the detection process, as the system can systematically search through organized segments rather than unstructured data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

An operating method of user equipment configured to personalize use of service is provided. The user equipment includes a storage that stores personalization management information including pieces of personalization information and pieces of service operator information corresponding to each of the pieces of personalization information. The operating method includes accessing the storage to read the personalization management information and, from the personalization management information, detecting personalization information and service operator information matched to reference information registered in the user equipment, and determining whether a user is able to use the service, by using user information that is received from the outside and a result of the detection.
