Solution Overview

Problem

The existing communication identifier binding process is inefficient, requiring users to manually unbind and rebind services when changing identifiers, leading to complex procedures and low processing efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A method and terminal implementation that automatically unbinds services from a first communication identifier and binds them to a second, simplifying the process by displaying binding relationships and using pre-saved commands for unbinding and binding operations, thereby reducing user intervention and improving efficiency.

1Productivity

If manual unbinding and rebinding procedures are followed for each service when changing communication identifier, then binding relationship can be updated, but processing efficiency is low and user operation is complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebinding processing efficiencyVSAvoiduser operation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal automatically identifies services bound to the first communication identifier and performs unbinding and rebinding operations without requiring user intervention for each service. The system self-manages the entire binding update process, including querying binding relationships, executing unbinding commands, and establishing new binding relationships with the second communication identifier.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal pre-queries and stores binding relationship information between communication identifiers and services before the actual change occurs. By having this information ready in advance, the terminal can quickly execute the binding update process when a communication identifier change is detected, avoiding time-consuming manual operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If automatic binding update is implemented, then processing efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebinding processing efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal implements a universal binding management mechanism that handles multiple services and different communication identifiers through a single automated process. This multi-functional approach allows the same system to manage various binding relationships (bank cards, applications, other services) using unified procedures, reducing the need for separate complex handling mechanisms for each service type.

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

AI summary

Embodiments of this application disclose a communication identifier binding processing method and a terminal. The method includes: first obtaining, by the terminal, a first binding relationship between a first communication identifier and at least two services, and displaying the first binding relationship on an interface; when the first communication identifier is replaced by a second communication identifier, then removing the first binding relationship based on a binding update operation triggered by a user, and establishing a second binding relationship between the second communication identifier and the at least two services; and finally displaying the second binding relationship on the interface. In this application, convenient association processing on a communication identifier and a service can be implemented, simplifying an operation step of the user.
