Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication technologies face challenges with SIM card limitations, such as varying card slot sizes, insufficient memory, and the need for manual entry of phone numbers or social network accounts for online interactions, which hinder seamless communication, especially in environments with unstable network signals, leading to poor call quality and increased radiation exposure.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for group establishment using a switching device that receives eSIM card information via a network signal to create a communication group list, allowing devices with eSIM cards to interact and share data without manual input of phone numbers, and dynamically switch between network signals to maintain communication quality and reduce radiation exposure.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual entry of phone numbers or social network accounts is used for online interactions, then users can communicate online, but the process is cumbersome and user experience is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of online interactionVSAvoidtime for manual entry
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically obtaining and storing contact information through eSIM card group establishment before interaction is needed. Users only need to enable the feature and the system automatically completes the cumbersome manual entry process in the background, eliminating the need for users to manually input phone numbers or social network accounts during actual interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If advanced cellular networks with high data rates are used, then spectral efficiency and data transfer rate are improved, but radiation exposure increases to 100-300 μW/cm2 during long-distance transmission

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transfer rateVSAvoidradiation exposure
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The switching device acts as an intermediary between mobile phones and base stations. It receives group configuration information from multiple devices and establishes local communication groups, enabling devices to communicate with each other directly through the switching device without requiring long-distance transmission to base stations, thereby reducing radiation exposure while maintaining communication functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If eSIM card information is embedded in communication devices, then multiple communication devices per number and multiple numbers per device are achieved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication device versatilityVSAvoideSIM card management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple eSIM card profiles into a unified group management system. Instead of managing multiple separate eSIM cards and their individual configurations, the switching device consolidates group configuration information from multiple devices into a single group list, simplifying management while maintaining the versatility of multiple communication identities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
