Solution Overview

Problem

Current telecommunication service plans lack optimization based on application-level usage, leading to inefficient feature utilization and resulting in unnecessary overages for subscribers.

Innovation Solution

A method that identifies and stores preferred access agreements between application service providers and telecommunication service providers, captures and analyzes subscriber usage, and automates the purchase or removal of telecommunication service provider features to align usage with preferred access agreements, optimizing service plans and reducing overages.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If telecommunication service plans are optimized based on application-level usage, then cost efficiency and feature utilization are improved, but system complexity and data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecost efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments telecommunication services into application-specific feature sets based on preferred access agreements. Instead of managing monolithic service plans, the system divides them into discrete, application-level features that can be independently allocated and optimized for each subscriber based on their usage patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically analyzes subscriber usage data and autonomously adjusts feature allocations without manual intervention. The automated feature allocation mechanism continuously monitors usage patterns and realigns service features based on actual consumption, eliminating the need for manual plan adjustments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If automated feature allocation is implemented, then subscriber overages are reduced, but data processing and analysis requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoverage reductionVSAvoiddata processing volume
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-establishes preferred access agreements that define optimal feature combinations for different application types before usage occurs. These pre-configured agreements serve as templates that guide automated feature allocation, reducing the need for real-time complex calculations while ensuring overage prevention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts feature allocation parameters based on analyzed usage patterns. By continuously monitoring and comparing actual usage against preferred access agreements, the system automatically modifies feature sets to match real consumption behavior, preventing overages while optimizing resource utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If application-level usage analysis is performed, then service optimization is improved, but measurement and analysis complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice optimizationVSAvoidusage analysis complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces preferred access agreements as intermediary frameworks that bridge usage data collection and optimization decisions. These agreements act as translation layers that convert raw usage metrics into actionable insights, simplifying the analysis process while enabling precise application-level optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
