Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless network systems lack a method to dynamically configure and update network operator information over-the-air, limiting service providers' ability to customize and enhance user experiences with real-time messages and updates.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for customizing and updating network operator information on user equipment, involving a SIM OTA update to transmit display bit conditions and update information in real-time, allowing service providers to display service provider names and network operator names on various device screens, such as the home, lock, or notification screens, without impacting ongoing services.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If network operator information is updated over-the-air in real-time, then service providers can dynamically customize and enhance user experiences with real-time messages and updates, but system complexity increases due to the need for SIM OTA update mechanisms and display bit condition management
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces display bit conditions as an intermediary mechanism that mediates between the network operator information updates and the user equipment display. These display bit conditions act as control flags that enable or disable specific display behaviors, simplifying the overall update mechanism by providing a standardized interface for dynamic customization without requiring complex device-specific implementation details.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes display bit conditions as configurable parameters that can be dynamically changed through SIM OTA updates. By modifying these bit conditions, the system can control whether service provider names, network operator names, and other information are displayed or suppressed, enabling flexible customization through simple parameter changes rather than complex structural modifications.
2Reliability
If updates are performed during low usage periods to avoid impacting ongoing services, then service reliability is maintained, but update speed and responsiveness decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a mechanism where display bit conditions are pre-configured and stored in the SIM card through OTA updates during low usage periods. This preliminary action allows the update infrastructure to prepare and transmit update data in advance, so that when users actively use their devices, the updates are already staged and ready for immediate application without disrupting ongoing services.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs periodic update cycles where SIM OTA updates are transmitted during low usage periods (such as nighttime or off-peak hours). This periodic action pattern ensures that updates occur systematically at optimal times, balancing the need for timely updates with the requirement to maintain service reliability during high usage periods.
3Ease of operation
If service provider names and network operator names are displayed on various device screens, then user experience is enhanced with customizable information, but information management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments network operator information into distinct components (service provider names, network operator names, display bit conditions) that can be independently managed and updated. This segmentation allows each information element to be controlled separately through specific display bit conditions, simplifying the management of customizable information by breaking down the complex display configuration into manageable, independent segments.
Solution Approach 2:
The display bit conditions serve as universal control mechanisms that can manage multiple types of information displays across different device screens (home screen, notification screen, etc.). This multi-functional approach allows a single set of display bit conditions to control various information elements in multiple locations, reducing information management complexity by providing a unified control interface rather than requiring separate management mechanisms for each display location.

AI summary
A system and method of customizing/updating an information displayed at a user equipment [402]. The method encompasses transmitting, via a SIM OTA update to a SIM card configured at a user equipment [402], a display bit condition, wherein the display bit condition comprises a condition to display at the user equipment [402] the information comprising at least one of a service provider name and a network operator name, present in at least one of a SIM information and a network information message. The method thereafter encompasses updating, via a network entity [404], the information provided in at least one of the SIM information and the network information message. Further, the method comprises transmitting, from the network entity [404] to the user equipment [402], the updated information, to display in real-time the updated information at the user equipment [402] based on the display bit condition.
