Network Capability Exposure Method, Apparatus, and System - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18167429 titled 'Network Capability Exposure Method, Apparatus, and System
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method, apparatus, and system for network capability exposure. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The method involves an NEF (Network Exposure Function) receiving a request from an AF (Application Function) for information about a target terminal device.
- The NEF sends a request to a first network element to obtain an identifier for the target terminal device.
- The NEF receives the identifier from the first network element.
- The NEF then sends a request to a second network element to obtain the requested information about the target terminal device.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Network capability exposure can be useful in various telecommunications and networking scenarios.
- It can be used in network management systems to gather information about specific terminal devices.
- Application developers can utilize this technology to retrieve necessary information about target devices for their applications.
Problems solved by this technology:
- This method provides a standardized way for applications to request information about target terminal devices.
- It simplifies the process of obtaining device information by utilizing network elements.
- It ensures that the requested information is obtained from the correct network elements.
Benefits of this technology:
- The method improves efficiency by automating the process of obtaining device information.
- It enhances interoperability between applications and network elements.
- It provides a secure and reliable way to access device information.
Original Abstract Submitted
This application discloses a network capability exposure method, apparatus, and system. The method includes: An NEF receives a first request sent by an AF, where the first request includes an address of a target terminal device, and is used to request first information of the target terminal device; sends, to a first network element, a second request including the address, to request a first identifier of the target terminal device; receives the first identifier from the first network element; and sends, to a second network element, a third request including the first identifier, to request the first information.
