Solution Overview

Problem

User Equipment (UE) in communication systems cannot associate information from multiple functions effectively, leading to inefficient use as users must separately manage and recall schedule and additional information, resulting in poor usability.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that register and display service information corresponding to schedule information by accessing a peripheral server, allowing UE to automatically associate location-based information with schedule information, enhancing user convenience and efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the UE stores schedule information and additional information separately, then the information can be managed independently, but the user must memorize both pieces of information separately which results in inefficient use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation management capabilityVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines schedule information and additional information into a unified data structure where additional information is associated with corresponding schedule entries through identifiers. This merging allows the UE to automatically retrieve and display additional information when schedule information is accessed, eliminating the need for users to separately manage and recall both types of information while maintaining independent storage and retrieval capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Device complexity

If the UE does not associate additional information with schedule information, then the storage structure remains simple, but the use efficiency of the UE deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata structure complexityVSAvoiduse efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary association of additional information with schedule information by storing identifiers of additional information alongside schedule entries. This preliminary action enables the UE to automatically retrieve and display relevant additional information when schedule information is accessed, improving use efficiency without requiring complex real-time association logic or increasing overall data structure complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method and an apparatus for obtaining information of a user equipment in a communication system are provided. The method includes registering schedule information containing place information by the user equipment, adding service information to the schedule information by the user equipment when a peripheral service server receives service information corresponding to the place information, and displaying the service information by the user equipment when the schedule information is searched. A user of the UE may automatically add the location based information to the UE corresponding to schedule information to manage it without separately searching information or recording the information, thus improving convenience.
