Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) lack adequate security and robust technical services, as well as convenience features, when relying on mobile network operators' call switching and packet switching capabilities.

Innovation Solution

A MVNO-hosted virtual network service platform with a software-defined switch controller that allows for advanced switch control, including the separation of call portions, preservation of audio data, and integration with customer relationship management (CRM) systems.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If MVNOs rely on mobile network operators' call switching capabilities, then infrastructure cost is reduced, but security and service robustness deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinfrastructure costVSAvoidsecurity and service robustness

Core Design Contradiction:

Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the call handling process into multiple independent components: voice call legs, data call legs, and control plane functions. This segmentation allows the MVNO to maintain control over critical functions while using shared infrastructure, thereby improving security and service robustness without requiring complete infrastructure ownership.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary control system that sits between the MVNO and the mobile network operator's infrastructure. This intermediary enables the MVNO to manage and secure call operations without directly owning the physical infrastructure, resolving the contradiction between cost reduction and security enhancement.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If call portions are separated into voice and data legs, then call control flexibility is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecall control flexibilityVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal control system that can handle multiple types of calls (voice, data, video) through a single platform. This multi-functional approach provides call control flexibility across different service types while avoiding the complexity of separate specialized systems for each call type.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
