Adaptive Data Communication Control for Portable Devices

The patent segments data communication setting information by service operator, storing each operator's specific settings (APN, authentication methods, encryption algorithms) in separate tables. This allows the device to maintain multiple operator configurations without overwhelming complexity, as each segment is independently managed and selected based on current network requirements.

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-storing data communication setting information for multiple service operators before actual communication occurs. The device maintains a database of operator-specific settings and automatically retrieves the appropriate settings when entering a new service area, eliminating the need for real-time configuration and reducing operational complexity.

The patent applies local quality by implementing fast dormancy settings specific to each service operator network rather than using a uniform approach. The device stores fast dormancy parameters (timer values, release conditions) for each operator and applies the appropriate settings based on the current network, optimizing power consumption for each operator's specific requirements without imposing unnecessary complexity from mismatched settings.

The patent implements dynamics by making fast dormancy settings adaptable and changeable based on the current service operator. The device dynamically updates dormancy parameters when switching between operators, allowing the system to respond to varying network conditions and operator policies. This dynamic adjustment optimizes power consumption while managing complexity through automated transitions.

The patent implements feedback by automatically detecting the current PLMN (Public Land Mobile Network) and using this information to retrieve and apply the corresponding data communication settings. The device monitors network changes and automatically updates settings based on feedback from the current service operator, eliminating manual configuration and improving efficiency through automated, real-time adaptation.

The patent applies self-service by enabling the device to automatically manage its own configuration when switching between service operators. The system independently detects PLMN changes, retrieves appropriate settings from stored databases, and applies them without user intervention. This self-service capability improves communication efficiency by eliminating configuration delays while managing complexity through automated internal processes.
