Problem

Existing methods for downloading and installing bundles on smart secure platforms in wireless communication systems are inefficient, particularly in separating activation codes for eSIM and SSP, leading to compatibility issues and user experience deterioration.

Innovation Solution

An operating method for a terminal with a smart secure platform that involves obtaining an activation code, detecting an SSP activation code delimiter, and using it to separate the SSP activation code from the eSIM activation code for downloading and installing bundles or applets, ensuring compatibility and efficient service provision.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If activation codes for eSIM and SSP are not separated, then compatibility issues arise and user experience deteriorates, but separating them increases device complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecompatibilityVSAvoidactivation code processing
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The activation code is segmented into two distinct parts: an eSIM activation code and an SSP activation code. This segmentation allows each code to be processed independently by the appropriate module (LPA for eSIM, LBA for SSP), preventing compatibility issues while maintaining clear functional separation without excessive complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal acts as an intermediary that receives a unified activation code, detects the presence of both eSIM and SSP activation codes, and routes them to the appropriate processing modules. This intermediary approach maintains system simplicity while ensuring proper separation and compatibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If activation codes are processed without separation, then device complexity is reduced, but bundle download efficiency and user experience suffer

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebundle download efficiencyVSAvoidactivation code processing
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the activation code processing into distinct eSIM and SSP code handling paths, the system enables parallel processing and specialized optimization for each bundle type. The LPA efficiently handles eSIM bundles while the LBA manages SSP bundles, improving overall productivity without requiring complex unified processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the processing parameters by detecting specific delimiters or markers in the activation code to identify whether it contains eSIM, SSP, or both types of activation codes. This parameter-based detection enables efficient routing to appropriate processing modules, enhancing bundle download efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Manufacturing precision

If activation codes are separated into distinct components, then bundle installation accuracy improves, but the activation code structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebundle installation accuracyVSAvoidactivation code structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The activation code structure is segmented into distinct eSIM and SSP activation code portions, each with its own specific format and processing requirements. This segmentation ensures that each bundle type is installed with high accuracy by the specialized module, while the overall structure remains manageable through clear delimitation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal serves as an intermediary that manages the complexity of the activation code structure by detecting the presence of different code types and routing them to appropriate processing modules. This intermediary function abstracts the complexity from the end user while maintaining high installation accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

An operating method of a terminal, in which a smart secure platform (SSP) is embedded, in a wireless communication system, includes obtaining an activation code, detecting an SSP activation code delimiter in the activation code, detecting an SSP activation code in the activation code by using the SSP activation code delimiter, and downloading at least one of a bundle or an applet by using the SSP activation code, wherein the SSP activation code delimiter is used to separate the SSP activation code from an embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) activation code.
