Solution Overview

Problem

In Device-to-Device (D2D) communication, frequent authorization applications for multiple services lead to increased interactions between terminals and servers, affecting service quality and introducing complexity due to varying authorization durations, which can result in service interruptions and poor network efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A method and terminal implementation that determine a periodic timer duration based on the minimum authorization duration and a user-set timer duration for advance authorization, allowing for simultaneous renewal of authorization services before expiration, thereby reducing frequent interactions and ensuring continuous service availability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If frequent authorization applications are made for multiple services, then service authorization can be maintained, but interaction complexity between terminals and servers increases and service quality deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice authorization maintenanceVSAvoidinteraction complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple separate authorization applications into a single unified application process. By determining a periodic timer duration that covers the minimum authorization duration among multiple services, the system can renew authorizations for all services simultaneously through one interaction with the server, rather than making separate applications for each service. This merging approach maintains service authorization reliability while significantly reducing interaction complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary action by calculating and setting a periodic timer duration in advance, before the actual authorization renewal occurs. This timer is determined based on the minimum authorization duration among multiple services and a preset advance time, allowing the system to proactively renew authorizations before they expire. This preliminary timing mechanism ensures continuous service availability while reducing the frequency of interactions with the server.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If separate authorization applications are made for each service, then specific service authorization can be ensured, but the number of interactions with servers increases and network efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice authorizationVSAvoidnetwork efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple separate authorization applications into a single consolidated application. By using a unified periodic timer duration that accommodates the minimum authorization duration across all services, the system can renew authorizations for multiple services in one network interaction, rather than making separate requests for each service. This approach ensures service authorization reliability while improving network efficiency by reducing the total number of interactions with the server.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If authorization durations vary for different services, then service-specific requirements can be met, but timer management complexity increases and service interruptions occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice-specific authorizationVSAvoidtimer management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by creating a single periodic timer mechanism that serves multiple services with different authorization duration requirements. The periodic timer duration is determined based on the minimum authorization duration among all services and a preset advance time, making it universally applicable to all services. This universal timer management approach maintains service-specific authorization adaptability while significantly reducing timer management complexity and preventing service interruptions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
