Wireless Service Integration via Mesh Plug-ins
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems restrict users to using only one service at a time and prevent combining services from different providers, limiting user control and service enhancement.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that allow users to combine compatible services on a wireless communication device by identifying and integrating mesh plug-ins from multiple service providers, enabling the creation of new services beyond what a single provider offers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users are restricted to using a single service at a time from a single service provider, then service management is simplified, but user control and service enhancement are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments service management into distinct components: service discovery, service selection, service combination, and service execution. Each component handles a specific aspect of service management, allowing users to combine multiple services while maintaining organized and manageable service configurations through modular architecture
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary service management system that mediates between multiple service providers and the user device. This intermediary handles service discovery, compatibility checking, and combination logic, enabling users to access and combine services from multiple providers without directly managing the complexity of inter-service interactions
2Adaptability or versatility
If users can only access services from their subscribed service provider, then service provider control is maintained, but user choice and service availability are restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a universal service access mechanism that allows the user device to interact with multiple service providers through a common interface. The service combination capability enables a single service instance to integrate functionalities from different providers, making the system universally compatible across multiple service sources while maintaining standardized interaction protocols
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the system continuously monitors service compatibility, performance metrics, and user interactions. This feedback is used to dynamically adjust service combinations, resolve conflicts between services from different providers, and ensure reliable operation by learning from past service interactions and compatibility outcomes

AI summary
The present invention provides a system, wireless communication device, method and computer program product for combining one or more compatible services with a current service. A user of a wireless communication device is subscribed with a registered service provider. A user sends a request for identifying the one or more compatible services with the current service to the registered service provider. The registered service provider identifies and sends a list of the identified compatible services to the wireless communication device. The user then selects at least one compatible service from the list of the identified compatible services. Thereafter, the registered service provider sends the software required for combining the selected compatible services with the current service. The user creates a combined service by combining the selected compatible services with the current service using the software on the wireless communication device.
