Problem
Existing client-server systems for mobile telecommunications face challenges in providing dynamic, interactive, and user-friendly services while adhering to resource constraints of mobile terminals and network performance, often compromising on ergonomics, response time, and the number of features offered.
Innovation Solution
A generic smart USSD client module embedded in a telecommunication terminal, utilizing USSD protocols, includes a navigation module, presentation module, and encryption module to interpret and send data between the terminal and network, enabling real-time communication with a server and providing a user-friendly interface with low resource consumption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If standard protocols like HTTP, XML, IP, TCP, or UDP are used for client-server communication, then the system achieves broad compatibility and ease of operation, but response time increases and real-time service constraints are not met
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the communication protocol parameter from standard HTTP/TCP/UDP to USSD protocol, which operates on different technical parameters (signal-based, store-and-forward mechanism) to achieve faster response times while maintaining compatibility through standardized network interfaces
2Device complexity
If WAP protocol is used to limit access scope and adapt to mobile phone capabilities, then device complexity is reduced, but ergonomics and multi-service capabilities are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The USSD client module is designed to handle multiple service types and communication scenarios through a single unified protocol interface, enabling the terminal to access diverse services (information queries, transactions, control functions) without requiring separate simplified protocols for each service type
3Ease of operation
If dedicated software is installed on the terminal to improve ergonomics and service features, then user interface quality improves, but terminal resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The USSD client module leverages existing terminal resources and native USSD protocol support already present in the mobile device, eliminating the need for resource-intensive dedicated software installations while maintaining full service capabilities through the standardized protocol
4Adaptability or versatility
If multiple applications and services are provided with full functionality, then service versatility increases, but implementation costs and device complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
A single USSD client module implementation enables access to multiple diverse services through the standardized USSD protocol, eliminating the need for separate application development for each service type and reducing overall system complexity while maintaining service versatility
Data Source
AI summary
A digital telecommunications system communicates with an unstructured supplementary service data protocol by a digital application located on a mobile terminal. The digital application includes a navigation module, a presentation module, an interpreter module and an encryption module. The digital application interprets data received from an unstructured supplementary service data protocol that communicates with a telecommunications network and displays interpreted data on a screen of said mobile terminal from data received from the unstructured supplementary service data protocol. The digital application interprets a request of a user entered into the mobile terminal in response to the interpreted data displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal, and sends from the mobile terminal data interpreted from the request of the user to the telecommunications network by the unstructured supplementary service data protocol.
