Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems lack efficient methods for remotely controlling and managing bundles installed in smart secure platforms, particularly in 5G communication systems integrated with IoT networks, which requires secure and efficient event management.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for remotely controlling a bundle installed in a smart secure platform using a discovery service provided by an event-managing server, where the terminal transmits messages to the server to discover, retrieve, and authenticate events, ensuring secure event management and minimal processing load on the smart secure platform.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the smart secure platform processes all event management operations locally, then the platform has full control over events, but the processing load and complexity increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevent management controlVSAvoidplatform processing load
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

An event-managing server is introduced as an intermediary between the terminal and the smart secure platform. The server handles event registration, storage, and management operations, allowing the platform to maintain control through authenticated access while offloading processing complexity to the external server infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If the terminal frequently communicates with the event-managing server to discover and retrieve events, then the terminal has up-to-date event information, but communication overhead and energy consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevent information availabilityVSAvoidterminal energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal performs event discovery by sending a discovery message to the event-managing server to check whether events are stored before attempting to retrieve them. This preliminary check prevents unnecessary communication and energy consumption by only initiating full event retrieval when events are actually present on the server.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If the terminal transmits detailed terminal information to the event-managing server, then the server can accurately identify and manage events, but security and privacy risks increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevent identification accuracyVSAvoidsecurity risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The event-managing server acts as a trusted intermediary that receives and processes terminal information securely. The server establishes authenticated communication channels, validates terminal identities, and manages event data with appropriate access controls, thereby maintaining identification accuracy while mitigating security risks through professional security infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
