Solution Overview

Problem

Current STK module naming on communication terminals is inflexible, as it often defaults to 'SIM card' names, limiting operators' ability to customize and differentiate their product features in a competitive market.

Innovation Solution

A method that involves reading and saving SIM card text information as a variable, allowing for the uninstallation and reinstallation of the STK module, enabling operators to rename it with chosen characters, such as 'SIM card' or other custom names, ensuring the name meets their demands.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the STK module uses a default name containing 'SIM card' keywords, then the module can be easily identified and installed, but the operator cannot customize the name to differentiate product features

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvename customization capabilityVSAvoidnaming process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-fetching the STK module name from the SIM card during system startup, before the module is fully installed. This allows the operator to customize the name in advance by modifying the fetched name, and the customized name is then used for module installation, thereby enabling name differentiation without adding complexity to the installation process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamics by making the STK module name changeable rather than fixed. The system dynamically fetches the name from the SIM card, allows operator modification, and applies the customized name during module installation. This dynamic naming approach enables operators to differentiate product features while maintaining ease of module identification and installation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If the STK module name is fixed during installation, then the installation process is simple and fast, but operators cannot rename the module to meet their specific demands

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperator customization freedomVSAvoidmodule installation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by fetching the STK module name from the SIM card during system startup, before the module installation begins. This preliminary name acquisition allows operators to customize the name without delaying the installation process, as the name is prepared in advance and applied seamlessly during module installation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-service by automatically fetching the STK module name from the SIM card during startup. This automatic name acquisition eliminates the need for manual name configuration by operators, allowing customization freedom while maintaining fast installation times, as the system handles the name preparation autonomously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

The present disclosure may provide a method of naming an STK module, which may include: after starting a system of a communication terminal, reading text information of a SIM card and saving the same as a first variable, wherein the text information may include SET UP MENU alphaID or EF_SUME; uninstalling an STK module; and re-installing the STK module and naming the STK module using the first variable. By means of the foregoing solution, and the STK module of which the name has a word of “SIM card” after starting the communication terminal system may be renamed using the first variable. The present disclosure may further provide a communication terminal, which can execute the foregoing method. Still further, the present disclosure may provide an apparatus having a storage function, which stores program data, and the program data may be executed to implement the foregoing method.
