Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for a telecommunication system that increases network usage and efficiency by encouraging more user devices to register and actively use the network, as current methods do not effectively optimize network utilization.

Innovation Solution

A method involving a server that registers telecommunication devices, determines hierarchical relationships between them, and awards end-user credits based on network usage, which are then communicated to the devices as physically perceptible outputs, incentivizing increased network activity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If traditional telecommunication networks operate with flat monthly fees and per call fees, then network operators can generate revenue, but the number of end users and subscribers remains limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of end users and subscribersVSAvoidnetwork efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where network operators receive revenue share based on the performance and usage of end users. This feedback loop motivates operators to encourage more users to register and use the network, as their revenue is directly tied to network utilization metrics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic revenue sharing models that adapt to changing network conditions and user behavior. The revenue allocation between operators and end users is not fixed but dynamically adjusted based on network traffic, usage patterns, and performance metrics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If telecommunication networks increase their capacity to handle user device traffic, then network efficiency improves, but the cost of building and maintaining the network increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork efficiencyVSAvoidoperational cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the economic parameters of network operation by introducing performance-based revenue sharing. This alters the cost-benefit analysis for network operators, allowing them to invest in capacity expansion when usage metrics justify the investment, rather than maintaining fixed high capacity at all times.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If the number of registered user devices is increased, then network traffic handling capacity is optimized, but the complexity of managing user registrations and relationships increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork traffic handling capacityVSAvoiduser registration and relationship management
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the network into hierarchical levels or groups of end users and subscribers. This segmentation simplifies the management of user relationships by organizing them into manageable units with defined roles and revenue sharing arrangements, making it easier to track and allocate network usage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Methods and apparatus of improving telecommunication network efficiency by increasing user device registration with and use of the network are disclosed. Improved user device registration and use, and thus increased efficiency may be achieved by allocating revenue generated by operation of a telecommunication network between user devices, a network operator device, and a third party device. The allocation of revenue may be based, at least in part, on a hierarchical relationship between user devices registered with the network and information concerning the use of the telecommunication network by the user devices.
