Solution Overview

Problem

The increasing complexity and size of telecommunications networks due to numerous services and users lead to challenges in accessing the network, especially during peak periods, as existing systems struggle to manage communication messages effectively between various services.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for personal service integration on a network that monitors user requests, determines patterns, and modifies telecommunication services accordingly, utilizing a personal service server and modules for speech recognition, pattern analysis, and service modification to manage user needs across multiple devices and networks.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If new telecommunication services are added to serve more users, then the network capacity and service coverage are improved, but the network complexity and difficulty of access increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork service coverageVSAvoidnetwork complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a service integration entity that acts as an intermediary between users and multiple telecommunication services. This entity consolidates service access points, allowing users to interact with a unified interface rather than navigating complex individual service protocols, thereby maintaining service coverage while reducing perceived network complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The service integration entity provides multi-functional capabilities by handling various telecommunication services (messaging, conferencing, presence, etc.) through a single unified platform. This universal approach allows one component to serve multiple functions, reducing the need for separate access mechanisms for each service and thereby simplifying network access

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If the number of telecommunication services increases to meet user needs, then service capability is improved, but the number of communication messages and network load increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice capabilityVSAvoidcommunication messages
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple telecommunication services into a unified service framework where common functions are shared. For example, presence information, user profiles, and authentication mechanisms are maintained once and reused across messaging, conferencing, and other services, thereby reducing redundant communication messages while maintaining comprehensive service capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The service integration entity performs preliminary setup and configuration of service parameters, user preferences, and communication protocols in advance. By pre-configuring service interactions and establishing default behaviors, the system reduces the need for real-time negotiation and message exchange when services are activated, thereby lowering network load

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If the network size and complexity increase during peak periods, then more users can be served, but access to the network becomes challenging or impossible

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser service capacityVSAvoidnetwork access ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The service integration entity serves as a mediator that manages network access during peak periods by consolidating authentication and service request handling. Users interact with this single point of access rather than attempting to directly connect to multiple overloaded service components, thereby maintaining ease of operation even as user capacity increases

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where the service integration entity monitors network load and user access patterns in real-time. Based on this feedback, the entity dynamically adjusts service allocation, prioritizes critical communications, and manages resource distribution to maintain accessible network operation during high-demand periods

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Described are computer-based methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for personal service integration on a network. A personal service monitors and stores user requests for services. The stored user requests are processed to determine usage patterns. The personal service processes the usage patterns to determine future requests and/or to determine how to fulfill a request. The personal service processes the request.
