Caller ID Sync via Bridge Device for Network Latency

Solution Overview

Problem

Wireline network service providers face network latency and increased costs due to real-time queries for caller identification information when users switch to wireless networks, especially in areas with frequent service interruptions.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a synchronization process between wireline and wireless caller information devices using a bridge device to store and provide caller information, reducing the need for real-time queries by establishing a communication channel for data transfer, such as FTP or SFTP, and enabling seamless caller identification across networks.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If real-time queries are made to wireline caller identification device, then caller identification information can be obtained, but network latency increases and costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecaller identification information accuracyVSAvoidnetwork latency

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary synchronization of caller information data from the wireline network to the wireless network before it is needed. The wireless caller information device receives and stores caller identification data in advance through data structure synchronization, so that when a call occurs, the information is already available locally without requiring real-time queries to the wireline network, thus eliminating network latency while maintaining information accuracy

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a wireless caller information device as an intermediary between the wireline network and the wireless network. This intermediary device stores synchronized caller information data structures and provides local query capabilities, acting as a mediator that eliminates the need for direct real-time communication between the wireless network and wireline caller identification device, thereby reducing network latency and communication costs

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If wireline network is used for caller identification, then accurate caller information is available, but service reliability decreases in areas with frequent wireline interruptions

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecaller identification information accuracyVSAvoidservice availability in interruption-prone areas

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary synchronization of caller information data from the wireline network to the wireless network before wireline service interruptions occur. The wireless caller information device receives and stores caller identification data in advance through data structure synchronization, creating a local backup that remains available even when wireline service is interrupted, thus maintaining both information accuracy and service reliability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a data synchronization mechanism that pre-loads caller information data structures into the wireless network's caller information device before wireline service interruptions occur. This beforehand cushioning ensures that even when wireline connections are interrupted due to natural disasters or accidental damage, the wireless network can still provide accurate caller identification services using the pre-synchronized data, thereby cushioning against service unavailability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)
