Inventor: CHAN KAM CHEONG
IPC: H04W60/04
Filed: 2014-08-22
Abstract: A method for activating a SIM card and obtaining balance in real-time, comprising the following steps: the user obtains a SIM card and inserts the SIM card in a mobile communication device; after starting the device, it interface automatically displays the prompting message for registration and activation, and the user completes the registration and activates the SIM card.  In the meantime, a preset application program is installed on the SIM card mobile communication device, and the user forms operating record by starting the preset application program. After having received the operating record, a remote server matches the information of the balance to be obtained and sends the instruction to the docking server of telecommunication provider. The docking server firstly verifies the identity validity of service provider, then adjusts the balance of SIM card in real-time and feeds back the balance to the remote server and the remote server feeds back the balance to the user. The present invention is simple and easy to operate, so that both the young people with higher knowledge level and the middle-aged and aged people who lack foreign language ability can realize operation and activate SIM card, and thus more conveniently obtain balance and peripheral information.

Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to structured guided framework and methods of instruction steps for according fair distributions to the entities in a relational multi-level tree system. Inputted and instructed to a processor apparatus an optimal number of age range interval tabulations (ARIT) may be defined corresponding to levels of an age ranges tabulation data structure of the relational multi-level tree system including a plurality of structured adjacent flat-top multi-level trees. The contributing entities are pre-sorted to form an ordered age priority sequence and assigned into a single multi-level tree or multiple adjacent multi-level trees by applying top/down or adjacent-top/down assignment in a respective age ARIT  based on optimal size and measurement considerations made according to a level strength analysis chart (LSAC). The contributing entities' positions are periodically released and reassigned into a next successive higher position based on the contributing entities' age advancement. Fair distributions are accorded to the contributing entities based on their age-ordered assigned positions in the relational multi-level tree system.
