Solution Overview

Problem

Existing solutions do not fully address interoperability issues between mobile phones and networks that do not support Rich Communication Suite (RCS), preventing users from experiencing rich features and causing difficulties in determining and providing RCS functionality to target devices.

Innovation Solution

A method and system using Artificial Intelligence (AI) on a server network device to analyze target devices for RCS functionality, providing RCS functionality through an AI-powered interoperability application when needed, enabling seamless RCS experiences even on non-supporting devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If RCS messaging is implemented on devices without native RCS support, then interoperability and feature availability are improved, but device complexity and system resource requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveRCS interoperabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an RCS interoperability application that acts as an intermediary between devices without native RCS support and the RCS messaging system. This application provides RCS functionality through a secondary channel, enabling seamless communication experience without requiring modifications to the core device architecture or increasing system complexity significantly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The RCS interoperability application is designed to provide universal RCS functionality across diverse devices regardless of their native capabilities. It can detect target devices, determine RCS functionality availability, and automatically switch between primary and secondary channels to deliver consistent RCS features on all platforms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If RCS functionality is provided through a secondary channel on non-supporting devices, then seamless RCS experience is achieved, but message transmission time and processing overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseamless RCS experienceVSAvoidmessage transmission time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary detection of the target device's RCS functionality status before initiating message transmission. By pre-determining whether the target device supports RCS natively, the system can proactively select the appropriate communication channel (primary or secondary), avoiding delays during actual message sending and ensuring optimal transmission path selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic channel switching capability that adapts the communication path based on real-time device compatibility detection. The system can seamlessly transition between primary RCS channel and secondary alternative channel, optimizing message transmission efficiency while maintaining seamless user experience across different device configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A target device is automatically analyzed with Artificial Analysis (AI) on a server network device to determine if it has RCS functionality. If a target device does not include RCS functionality, RCS functionality is provided by an RCS AI functionality and interoperability application using Generative and Predictive AI on a server network device to provide an AI RCS-emulated experience for RCS sharing for the other target network devices.
