Registry Server Mobile Number Device Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in efficiently accessing multiple Internet devices due to the need to remember dynamic IP addresses, which change frequently, and the complexity of managing a growing number of devices.
Innovation Solution
A system utilizing a registry server that associates Internet devices with a user's mobile telephone number, creating a network address for each device, allowing easy addition, deletion, and access through a unified addressing scheme based on the mobile telephone number.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users access Internet devices using IP addresses, then device access is enabled, but users must remember dynamic IP addresses that change frequently, increasing operational complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a registry server as an intermediary between users and Internet devices. Instead of directly using dynamic IP addresses, users register devices with the registry server which assigns persistent aliases. The registry server mediates access by translating aliases to current IP addresses, eliminating the need for users to remember changing IP addresses while maintaining direct device access capability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users register multiple Internet devices, then device accessibility improves, but the number of IP addresses to remember increases, worsening ease of operation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates simplified copies or aliases of device identifiers instead of using actual IP addresses. Each Internet device receives a persistent alias (such as a shortened string or custom name) that copies the essential identifying function of an IP address but is much easier to remember and manage. Users can access multiple devices by remembering these simple aliases rather than complex IP addresses.
3Adaptability or versatility
If dynamic IP addresses are used for Internet devices, then network flexibility improves, but address stability deteriorates, requiring frequent updates
Solution Approach 1:
The registry server acts as a stable intermediary layer between the dynamic IP addressing system and users. It maintains persistent records that map aliases to current IP addresses. When IP addresses change dynamically, the registry server updates its mappings without affecting the stability of the aliases. This allows network flexibility to be maintained while providing address stability to users through the intermediary's abstraction layer.

AI summary
A telecommunications system includes an infosphere having a mobile telephone. A first telecommunications device may request to be added to the infosphere by sending a request to a registry server. In response to the request, the registry server adds the first telecommunications device to the infosphere by creating a network address for the first telecommunications device, the network address being related to the telephone number of the mobile telephone. In some embodiments of the telecommunications system, the registry server may require authorization from a second telecommunications device in the infosphere before adding the first telecommunications device to the infosphere.
