Smart Secure Platform Bundle State Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile communication systems face challenges in effectively managing secondary platform bundles (SPBs) within smart secure platforms (SSPs), particularly in ensuring secure and user-centric management of SPB states.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for managing SPBs, where a user equipment (UE) receives end user selections for managing SPB states, checks required bundle management information, determines if end user intent confirmation is needed, and accordingly manages the SPB states, including enabling, disabling, or deleting SPBs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If automated bundle management is implemented without user confirmation, then productivity and ease of operation are improved, but security and user control are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the level of automation based on the operation type. For high-risk operations like deletion, user confirmation is required (manual mode), while for low-risk operations like enabling/disabling, automated processing is allowed (automatic mode). This dynamic switching resolves the contradiction by optimizing both efficiency and security contextually.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of user interaction level based on the bundle management operation. By introducing an automatic mode parameter that bypasses user confirmation for certain operations, the system improves productivity while maintaining security through selective automation rather than universal automation.
2Reliability
If user confirmation is required for all bundle management operations, then security is improved, but ease of operation and productivity are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments bundle management operations into different risk categories. High-risk operations (deletion) require user confirmation, while low-risk operations (enabling, disabling) can be automated. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by applying user confirmation only where necessary, reducing overall interaction complexity while maintaining security.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary mechanism (automatic mode with operator intervention option) that mediates between user convenience and security. This intermediary allows bulk operations to proceed automatically while providing a safety valve for operator intervention when needed, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and security.
3Productivity
If bulk bundle management operations are allowed, then productivity is improved, but risk of erroneous actions and security issues are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically controls the execution of bulk operations based on their risk profile. For high-risk bulk operations like deletion, the system requires operator intervention (dynamic switching to manual mode). For low-risk bulk operations, automated processing is permitted. This dynamic control resolves the contradiction by enabling high productivity for safe operations while preventing harmful actions through selective human oversight.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies preliminary anti-action by requiring operator confirmation before executing high-risk bulk operations. This preliminary check prevents erroneous actions before they can cause harm, while allowing automated bulk processing for low-risk operations to maintain productivity. The principle resolves the contradiction by pre-emptively blocking only the harmful operations.

AI summary
A method, performed by a user equipment (UE), of managing secondary platform bundles (SPBs), includes receiving an end user selection for managing a state of at least one SPB among SPBs installed in a smart secure platform (SSP) module; checking bundle management information required to manage the state of the at least one SPB based on the end user selection; determining whether end user intent confirmation is required to manage the state of the at least one SPB according to the end user selection based on the bundle management information; and managing the state of the at least one SPB based on a result of the determining.
