Mobile Network Ring Tone Configuration via WAP Gateway
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing customized ring back tone services require users to access the internet through a computer, leading to inconvenience, increased complexity, and security vulnerabilities, especially when direct access to the operator's site is not available or compromised.
Innovation Solution
A service processing method and communication system that enables users to set ring tones through a mobile network by interacting directly between a management client on the user's terminal and a service server, eliminating the need for internet access and reducing unnecessary network traffic and security risks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users access the operator's site through the Internet to set customized ring back tone, then the service can be configured, but users without computer access or with internet connectivity issues cannot set the service in real time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a WAP gateway as an intermediary between the user terminal and the operator's server. The gateway provides a wireless access point that allows mobile devices to communicate with the service server without requiring direct internet access or computer usage. This mediator enables users to set ring tones through wireless networks while maintaining server connectivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the traditional internet-based access mechanism with a wireless network-based mechanism. Instead of requiring users to access websites through computers and internet browsers, the system uses WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) to enable direct access from mobile terminals through the wireless network, substituting the mechanical internet access process with a wireless communication process.
2Ease of operation
If the operator's site generates pages for WAP access, then users can access the site through wireless terminals, but the site complexity and maintenance workload increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the ring tone setting functionality from the general operator website and creates a dedicated, simplified access interface through the WAP gateway. Instead of requiring the main site to generate complex WAP pages, the system uses the gateway to provide a specialized wireless access point that handles ring tone settings separately, reducing the burden on the main site structure.
3Ease of operation
If users access the site through WAP, then ring tone setting becomes accessible on user terminals, but user information becomes vulnerable to theft due to internet insecurity
Solution Approach 1:
The WAP gateway serves as a secure intermediary between the user terminal and the operator's server. It provides a controlled access point that maintains security protocols while enabling wireless access. The gateway acts as a trust boundary that protects user information from direct exposure to unsecured networks while still allowing terminal accessibility.
4Loss of information
If the site transmits unrelated information to the terminal through WAP, then the site can provide comprehensive information, but unnecessary network traffic is generated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary ring tone setting information and functionality from the general site content. By using the WAP gateway as a specialized access point, the system transmits only the relevant data required for ring tone configuration, filtering out unnecessary information such as recommended ring tones and pictures that would generate wasted network traffic.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present prevention disclose a service processing method, a communication system, and relevant devices to enable the user to more conveniently set ring tones and improve system security. The method includes: a management client located in a user terminal obtains a ring tone setting processing request of a user; and the management client sends the ring tone setting processing request to a service server through a mobile network so that the service server can perform corresponding processing according to the ring tone setting processing request. A communication system and the relevant devices are also disclosed in the embodiments of the present prevention. The embodiments of the present invention can enable the user to conveniently set the tone, reduce unnecessary network traffic, and improve system security.
