Solution Overview
Problem
In telecommunications networks, there is a need for verifying the correctness, completeness, validity, and legality of transactions related to applications and services, which is challenging due to the complexity and legacy nature of existing OSS/BSS systems.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for operational business service verification that receives transaction information from multiple sources, determines if pre-defined criteria are met, and verifies the legitimacy of transactions, including quality of service and revenue sharing, by invoking control measures and utilizing data from various repositories.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional OSS/BSS systems are used to verify transactions, then existing infrastructure can be leveraged, but verification accuracy and reliability are insufficient due to system complexity and legacy limitations
Solution Approach 1:
The verification system is segmented into independent functional modules including information receiving unit, criterion determination unit, verification unit, and control measure invocation unit. Each module handles specific aspects of transaction verification, allowing the system to achieve high reliability through modular design while managing complexity through clear separation of concerns.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary verification system that sits between the legacy OSS/BSS systems and the transaction processing flow. This intermediary layer standardizes verification processes and provides consistent reliability across diverse legacy systems without requiring complete system replacement.
2Measurement precision
If comprehensive transaction verification is implemented, then transaction legitimacy and accuracy are improved, but system operation time and processing speed may be affected
Solution Approach 1:
Transaction verification criteria are pre-defined and stored in the system before actual verification occurs. The system pre-processes and validates verification rules, allowing rapid execution during actual transaction verification without compromising accuracy. This preliminary preparation of verification logic enables high-precision verification with minimal processing time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual or mechanical verification processes with automated electronic verification systems that use predefined criteria and algorithms. This substitution enables comprehensive verification of transaction legitimacy, quality of service, and revenue sharing accuracy while maintaining high processing speeds through automated decision-making.
3Loss of information
If multiple information sources are integrated for verification, then verification completeness is improved, but system complexity and data integration difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The verification system is designed with universal information receiving capabilities that can interface with multiple different information sources including OSS systems, BSS systems, and external repositories. The system uses standardized data interfaces and universal verification criteria that work across diverse information sources, enabling complete transaction verification without proportionally increasing system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a nested architecture where the verification system embeds multiple information sources and repositories within a unified verification framework. Different levels of verification criteria and data sources are nested within each other, allowing the system to access comprehensive information while maintaining a structured, manageable complexity through hierarchical organization.
Data Source
AI summary
A method and a system are described for providing operational business service verification in a telecommunication network. The method comprises the steps of: (i) receiving information which relates to transactions from a plurality of information sources, wherein the transactions are associated with one or more pre-defined applications; (ii) based upon the information received, determining whether that at least one pre-defined transaction criterion has been met; and (iii) if the at least one pre-defined transaction criterion has been met, providing verification of the legitimacy of the respective transaction that relate to that pre-defined application.
