Solution Overview

Problem

CDMA single-mode dual-standby terminals face challenges in managing concurrent short message services due to randomness in message sending and receiving processes, as well as interference from other communication services like voice and data services, with no existing solution for reasonable short message scheduling.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for scheduling short messages in CDMA single-mode dual-standby terminals, which involve processing short message services for activated users while deferring voice and data services, determining standby users, and using service channel links to manage and prioritize message processing, ensuring efficient handling of short messages alongside other services.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the terminal processes short message services for activated users, then short message service quality is improved, but voice service and data service processing are delayed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshort message service qualityVSAvoidvoice service and data service processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by establishing service channel links and preparing message queues in advance. When a short message service is initiated, the terminal pre-establishes the necessary communication channels and prepares the processing framework, allowing the actual message processing to proceed efficiently without delaying other services. The voice and data services are pre-configured to be deferred rather than immediately interrupted.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamics by making the service processing flexible and adaptive. The terminal dynamically adjusts the processing priority based on the current service state, using state machines to transition between different service modes. When short message service is active, voice and data services are dynamically deferred; when short message service completes, other services are dynamically reactivated. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction by making the system responsive rather than static.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If the terminal manages concurrent dual-standby short message services, then communication capacity is expanded, but service management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication capacityVSAvoidservice management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the dual-standby terminal into two independent service systems, each with its own service channel link and state machine. Instead of managing one complex unified system, the terminal segments the short message services for each user into separate manageable units. Each segment can be processed independently with its own resource allocation, reducing the overall management complexity while maintaining dual-standby functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements universality by creating a generic service management framework that handles both users' short message services through the same mechanism. The service channel link establishment, message queue management, and state transition logic are universal across both users. This multi-functional approach allows the terminal to manage dual-standby services without duplicating the entire management system, reducing complexity while expanding capacity.

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

3Device complexity

If the terminal uses a single radio frequency module for dual-standby, then device structure is simplified, but service interference occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice structureVSAvoidservice interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the single radio frequency module's resources into separate service channel links for different users and services. Through logical resource partitioning, the terminal creates independent communication paths within the unified hardware structure. This segmentation allows voice, data, and short message services to operate in separate logical channels, reducing interference while maintaining the simplified single-radio-frequency structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements the intermediary principle by introducing service channel links as mediators between the single radio frequency module and multiple services. These service channel links act as intermediate layers that manage resource allocation and signal routing. The mediators coordinate access to the shared radio frequency resource, preventing direct service interference while maintaining the benefit of a simplified device structure with a single radio frequency module.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A method for dispatching short messages in a Code Division Multiplex Access (CDMA) single-mode dual-standby terminal is disclosed in the present disclosure. The method comprises the following steps: the CDMA single-mode dual-standby terminal processes the short message service of an activated user and defers a processing on the received voice calling service and/or data service required by the activated user when processing the short message service, and then defers a processing on the received short message service, voice calling service and data service required by an inactivated user. An apparatus for dispatching short messages in a Code Division Multiplex Access (CDMA) single-mode dual-standby terminal is also disclosed. The method and apparatus of the present disclosure realize a reasonable short message service management and dispatching for a CDMA single-mode dual-standby terminal.
