AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technologies face challenges in providing reliable call services in areas with limited cellular network coverage or on non-cellular devices like smartwatches, with issues such as poor call quality, security vulnerabilities, and limited connection range, and the inability to connect multiple devices without server intervention.

Method used

Electronic devices and server devices facilitate peer-to-peer (P2P) network connections through a server, allowing communication via hotspot or Bluetooth tethering, enabling call services on a wider variety of devices by selecting a P2P network for communication.

Benefits of technology

Enhances usability and convenience by enabling call services across multiple devices in diverse environments, overcoming limitations of direct terminal connections.
