Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple bundles are concurrently activated in a smart security platform, then service versatility is improved, but system performance efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice versatilityVSAvoidsystem performance efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a concurrent enabling limit value as a control parameter that limits the number of bundles that can be activated simultaneously. This parameter is determined based on user equipment performance characteristics, allowing the system to optimize between versatility and efficiency by adjusting the concurrency limit according to device capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a virtualized universal integrated circuit card (UICC) environment where multiple virtual UICCs can be managed. This allows multiple network profiles and bundles to be stored and activated without requiring physical hardware changes, enabling versatile service provision while maintaining efficient resource utilization through virtualization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple virtualized UICCs are managed simultaneously, then network accessibility is improved, but management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork accessibilityVSAvoidmanagement complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the UICC functionality into multiple virtual UICCs, each representing a separate network profile. This segmentation allows independent management of different network configurations while providing a unified interface for users to select and switch between networks, reducing the complexity of managing multiple networks simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The virtualized UICC system provides multi-functionality by enabling a single user equipment to manage multiple network profiles and bundles through a unified framework. The system can accommodate different network types, service bundles, and configuration profiles, making the management system universally applicable to various network scenarios.

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