UI Element QoS Mapping for Consistent Multi-Service Traffic
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing network applications often lack the ability to specify Quality of Service (QoS) parameters for different types of traffic, leading to inconsistent treatment of network traffic, especially when multiple services are handled by a single application with varying QoS requirements.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a QoS Assistance Interface (QAI) within User Equipment (UE) to map traffic attributes to QoS parameters, allowing applications to associate different UI elements with specific QoS treatments without explicit requests, using data structures and AI/ML techniques to dynamically update and refine these associations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single application handles multiple services with varying QoS requirements, then the application can provide diverse functionality, but the network traffic treatment becomes inconsistent and suboptimal
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the application's UI into multiple distinct UI elements, each associated with specific traffic types and QoS requirements. This allows differential QoS treatment for different functions within the same application, resolving the contradiction between versatility and consistent QoS treatment.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by assigning specific QoS parameters to individual UI elements based on their traffic characteristics. Each UI element receives customized QoS treatment appropriate to its specific function, rather than applying uniform treatment to all application traffic.
2Reliability
If QoS parameters are manually configured for each traffic type, then QoS treatment can be optimized, but the system complexity increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling the system to automatically discover UI element attributes, identify associated traffic types, and configure appropriate QoS parameters without manual intervention. The system serves itself by autonomously establishing the mapping between UI elements and QoS treatments.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes parameter changes by dynamically adjusting QoS parameters based on UI element attributes and traffic characteristics. The system adapts QoS configurations automatically according to the specific requirements of each UI element, avoiding fixed manual configurations.
3Manufacturing precision
If QoS parameters are specified explicitly by the application, then traffic treatment can be controlled precisely, but the ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism that automatically translates UI element attributes into appropriate QoS parameters. This intermediary layer maintains precise traffic control by accurately mapping UI characteristics to QoS requirements while shielding the application from the complexity of explicit QoS configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary action by pre-establishing the mapping relationships between UI element attributes and QoS parameters before actual traffic generation. This advance configuration enables precise QoS control to be applied automatically without requiring real-time manual specification.

AI summary
A device described herein may maintain a model associating sets of traffic attributes with respective sets of attributes of user interface (“UI”) elements; receive a request to associate a particular UI element with a particular set of Quality of Service (“QoS”) parameters; identify a first set of attributes of the particular UI element; identify that the first set of attributes, of the particular UI element, matches a second set of attributes of UI elements included in the model; and identify a particular set of traffic attributes indicated in the model as being associated with the second set of attributes of UI element attributes. The device may identify traffic associated with the particular set of traffic attributes; and may process the identified traffic in accordance with the particular set of QoS parameters indicated in the request, based on identifying that the traffic is associated with the particular set of traffic attributes.
