Call Priority Indication via Bit Code Extraction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional telecommunication systems do not provide predefined messages or priority level information to end users during incoming transmission notifications, and existing emergency services like WPS and GETS only route calls through networks without presenting priority information to users.
Innovation Solution
A method that extracts a bit code from telecommunication transmissions, determines a predefined message based on the directory number and bit code, and displays it on the terminating device, allowing for customizable priority levels and messages to be transmitted across networks, including embedding bit codes in spare transmission bits to indicate urgency without affecting network routing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If conventional telecommunication systems provide only basic caller identification information, then network routing remains simple and reliable, but end users receive insufficient priority level information during incoming transmission notifications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent embeds priority level bit codes within the existing telecommunication transmission structure, nesting the priority information inside the standard signaling protocol. This allows priority information to be conveyed without requiring a completely new communication infrastructure, thus reducing the complexity increase while providing the needed information.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter representation by using bit codes (0-7) to encode priority levels and maps these to predefined messages. This parameter transformation allows priority information to be integrated into existing telecommunication protocols without fundamentally altering the network architecture, resolving the contradiction between information completeness and system complexity.
2Reliability
If emergency services like WPS and GETS route calls through carrier networks to avoid congestion, then call completion probability increases, but priority information is not presented to end users during notification
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the telecommunication transmission into distinct components: the routing signal for network call completion and the priority bit code for user notification. By separating these functions, the system maintains reliable call routing through carrier networks while simultaneously delivering priority information to end users during the notification process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary mechanism (the bit code extraction and message determination process) that acts between the network routing function and the user notification function. This intermediary ensures that priority information is extracted from the transmission and presented to users without interfering with the underlying call routing reliability provided by services like WPS and GETS.
3Adaptability or versatility
If existing emergency services limit routing to carrier networks only, then network management remains controlled, but customization of transmission priority levels is not possible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic priority level customization by allowing the bit code values (0-7) to be assigned different meanings based on user preferences, organizational requirements, or emergency situations. This dynamic adaptability enables customized priority levels without requiring fundamental changes to network management architecture, as the customization occurs at the message interpretation level rather than the routing level.
Data Source
AI summary
System and method for providing a telecommunication transmission from an originating device to a terminating device over a telecommunications network. In one embodiment a bit code may be received from the telecommunication network, such that the bit code is extracted from the telecommunication transmission from the originating device. A directory number associated with the originating source may be received and a predefined message may be determined based at least on the directory number and bit code. The predefined message may be displayed on the terminating device.
