Solution Overview

Problem

QCHAT mobile terminals incur significant invalid tariffs during startup due to unnecessary data updates when the QCHAT service is not activated on the inserted mobile terminal card, especially in areas without a QCHAT server, leading to repeated request attempts and increased traffic expenses.

Innovation Solution

A method and mobile terminal design that records historical data update results in a preset storage location, allowing the terminal to skip the data update process during startup if the QCHAT service is not activated, thereby executing only essential startup procedures and reducing unnecessary traffic costs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the mobile terminal performs data update during startup, then the QCHAT service can be activated, but invalid tariffs are incurred when the service is not activated

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveQCHAT service activationVSAvoidinvalid tariffs
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by checking whether the QCHAT service is activated before performing data update operations. The mobile terminal reads the activation status from a preset storage location prior to initiating data update, thereby avoiding unnecessary data update operations and invalid tariffs when the service is not activated.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements self-service by enabling the mobile terminal to autonomously determine its QCHAT service activation status and make decisions about whether to perform data update operations. The terminal reads its own activation status from storage and self-regulates the data update process without requiring external network verification, thus avoiding invalid tariffs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If the mobile terminal requests data update repeatedly when no QCHAT server is deployed, then the service activation can be achieved, but more traffic expense and time are occupied

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice activationVSAvoidstartup time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing a startup status check before initiating data update operations. The mobile terminal reads the QCHAT service activation status from a preset storage location during startup, allowing it to determine in advance whether data update is necessary, thereby avoiding repeated unsuccessful requests and reducing startup time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by using the stored activation status information to control the data update process. The mobile terminal reads the activation status from storage, uses this feedback information to decide whether to proceed with data update, and thereby avoids wasting time on repeated requests when the service is not activated or no server is available.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A QUALCOMM chat (Qchat) mobile terminal update and authentication method and a mobile terminal are disclosed. A historical result of performing data update of a Qchat service is recorded in a preset storage location in a mobile terminal, and determines, according to the result, whether the Qchat service is activated in the current mobile terminal card. If the Qchat service is not activated, a data update process of the Qchat service is skipped, and a start-up procedure except the data update process of the Qchat service is directly executed, thereby effectively reducing an invalid tariff incurred to a non-Qchat mobile terminal card user during start-up; and meanwhile, normal use of a Qchat user is not affected and user experience is improved.
