Solution Overview
Problem
Current approaches for web-telco convergence in mobile networks face limitations, such as reliance on stable web connectivity, usability issues due to split user interfaces, and the need for extensive development and deployment of new applications to incorporate web assets, which restrict flexibility and increase complexity.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that receive user interface relevant information from a web-telco convergence function, obtain web assets, generate a user interface description, and transmit a request message to enable a user device to obtain this description via the telecommunication domain, allowing for flexible enrichment of telco services with web assets without requiring constant web connectivity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If web assets are incorporated into telco services using existing approaches, then service functionality is enhanced, but dependency on stable web connectivity is required
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the service delivery architecture by separating web asset retrieval from core telco service delivery. A web-telco convergence function acts as an intermediary that can obtain web assets when available but is not strictly dependent on continuous web connectivity for basic service operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The web-telco convergence function serves as an intermediary component between the telco network and web domain. It facilitates optional web asset integration while maintaining service functionality through alternative paths when web connectivity is unavailable.
2Adaptability or versatility
If web assets are integrated into telco services, then service enrichment is achieved, but split user interfaces cause usability issues
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges web-based user interface elements with traditional telco service interfaces through a unified web-telco convergence function. This integration creates a cohesive user experience that combines the advantages of both web and telco interfaces while eliminating split interface problems.
3Adaptability or versatility
If new web-based services are deployed to incorporate web assets, then service capabilities are expanded, but extensive development and deployment complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The web-telco convergence function is designed as a universal platform that can handle multiple service types and web asset integrations through a single architecture. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for separate development and deployment processes for each service, reducing overall complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs dynamic service deployment where web assets and service configurations can be updated without requiring extensive re-development or re-deployment. The convergence function adapts to different service requirements dynamically, reducing the complexity of deploying new services.

AI summary
The present invention relates to methods, apparatus and systems for enabling an improved Web-Telco Convergence, in particular for telecommunication session oriented service. A Web-Telco Convergence Function (507) may identify user, interface relevant information in telecommunication protocol messages relating to a telecommunication session oriented service for a user and transmits the identified user interface relevant information to a Virtual Terminal Function (506). The Virtual Terminal Function may obtain web content based on the user interface relevant information and generate a user interface description. An address URL of the location of the user interface description may be transmitted to the Web-Telco Convergence Function (507) which may transmit the address URL to a user device (502). Keywords: mashup; scripts embedded in web pages containing telephonic API commands.
