SIM Registration Mapping for Device and Application Tracking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional technologies face difficulties in efficiently managing and grasping the state of use of SIMs in wireless communication systems, particularly in environments without wired communication facilities, making it challenging to identify which SIM is being used by which web application.
Innovation Solution
An information providing apparatus and method that associates device registration information, including device and communication identification, with application information, and generates communication registration information incorporating contract state details, enabling centralized management of plant devices, SIMs, and communication contracts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If device and communication identification information are managed separately, then system simplicity is maintained, but the ability to grasp SIM usage state efficiently deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges device setting information (including device identification information and communication identification information) with application information to create device registration information. This consolidation allows efficient grasping of SIM usage state by linking all relevant entities (device, SIM, application) in a single structured format, resolving the contradiction between management efficiency and information complexity.
2Loss of information
If communication contract information is not associated with device registration information, then system simplicity is maintained, but the ability to track SIM contract state deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines device registration information with communication contract information to generate communication registration information. This merging ensures that contract state is always associated with the correct device and SIM, preventing information loss while maintaining a unified and manageable data structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication registration information acts as an intermediary structure that links device registration information with communication contract information. This intermediary layer enables efficient tracking of SIM contract state without creating direct complex relationships between all individual components.
3Productivity
If device setting information and application information are not associated, then data storage simplicity is maintained, but the ability to identify SIM usage by application deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges device setting information with application information to create device registration information. This association enables efficient identification of which SIM is being used by which web application, directly addressing the technical problem without creating excessive data volume through meaningful relationships between existing data elements.
Data Source
AI summary
An overall management server acquires device registration information in which device setting information including device identification information of a device and communication identification information set for causing the device to perform communication and application information on an application collecting information transmitted from the device are associated with each other and generates communication registration information associating communication contract information indicating a contract state of the communication with the device registration information.
