Unified Dynamic Profile System for Telecommunications Access Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing telecommunications systems lack a secure, flexible, and efficient mechanism to dynamically configure multiple access channels and provide real-time notifications of subscriber connection events, leading to inefficient proliferation of custom interfaces and dispersed subscriber profile information across various operation support systems.
Innovation Solution
The Dynamic Profiling System (DPS) coordinates user access by matching subscribed services with real-time network information, using a unified profiling database, technical key processing logic, access parameter setting logic, and presence routing logic to optimize Quality of Service (QoS) and provide unified access across various access channels and devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If subscriber profile information is dispersed across multiple operation support systems to support various services and access channels, then the system can support a wide range of access channels and devices, but the complexity of custom interfaces between systems increases and information management becomes inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent consolidates dispersed subscriber profile information and access channel configurations into a unified profile structure. The DPP (Dynamic Profile Platform) merges data from multiple OSS systems into a single standardized profile format, eliminating the need for multiple custom interfaces while maintaining support for diverse access channels through a common interface paradigm.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention creates a universal profile structure that can accommodate multiple access channels (wireline, wireless, cable, fiber) and various service types through a single standardized interface. The unified profile contains generic fields that can represent different access technologies, allowing one interface design to serve multiple functions across diverse access channels.
2Adaptability or versatility
If custom interfaces are proliferated between systems to access dispersed profile information, then specific service requirements can be met, but the efficiency of information retrieval and system coordination decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The unified profile structure serves as a universal data model that can fulfill multiple service requirements through a single interface. Instead of creating custom interfaces for each service type, the system uses one standardized interface that can retrieve and manipulate profile information for authentication, authorization, billing, and service provisioning across all service types.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the essential profile information elements into a standardized unified profile structure, separating them from service-specific implementations. This extraction creates a core profile data model that can be efficiently accessed by multiple services without requiring service-specific interface implementations.
3Reliability
If static and dynamic access channel parameters are configured for each access channel, then optimal QoS can be provided for each channel type, but the complexity of dynamic configuration and real-time notification increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically configures access channel parameters based on the user's current access channel and device type. The unified profile contains both static service parameters and dynamic access-specific parameters that are automatically adjusted in real-time based on the active access channel, allowing optimal QoS without manual reconfiguration for each channel type.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by maintaining channel-specific parameter optimizations within the unified profile structure. Each access channel type (wireline, wireless, cable, fiber) has its own optimized parameter set stored in the profile, and the system automatically selects and applies the appropriate local parameters based on the current access channel, ensuring optimal QoS for each channel while managing complexity centrally.
4Adaptability or versatility
If multiple custom interfaces are maintained for different access channels, then specific channel requirements can be met, but the security and consistency of profile information management deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges all access channel-specific profile information into a single unified profile structure managed by the DPP. This consolidation ensures that there is one authoritative source of truth for subscriber profile data, eliminating consistency issues that arise from maintaining multiple separate interfaces and data stores for different access channels.
Data Source
AI summary
A dynamic profiling system (DPS) provides dynamic access session configuration for telecommunications subscribers, and provides subscriber session information to application platforms. The DPS configuration adapts to meet the needs of any combination of user connection requests, access channel devices, and access channels used to communicate connection requests. The DPS provides an aggregated view of user session information to efficiently and effectively provide services to subscribers. As the many different access channels (e.g., WiFi™ channels, Ethernet™ channels, and Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) channels continue to grow through which a subscriber connects to services, the dynamic profiling system also eliminates the inefficient proliferation of custom interfaces between the many support systems and applications that need access to subscriber profile and session configuration information. The DPS provides a universal and personalized access to telecommunications services. Provisioned services may be accessed by many different access channels based upon static and dynamically maintained information in the subscriber profile and the access channel used, respectively.
