Communication Control System Dynamic Service Area Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In wireless communication systems, when a terminal moves to a new area, it may lose access to network services due to limitations in service provision range, as existing techniques fail to seamlessly change service areas in response to terminal location changes.
Innovation Solution
A communication control system that determines the current presence area of a terminal and adjusts the service area accordingly, controlling connections between terminals and network services to ensure continuous access, even when the terminal moves.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the service area is fixed to a specific location, then the network service can be provided to terminals in that area, but the terminal loses access to the network service when it moves to a different area
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the service area dynamic rather than fixed. The service area is automatically adjusted based on the terminal's current location information, allowing the service area to change dynamically as the terminal moves. This resolves the contradiction by enabling continuous network access (improving reliability) while adapting to location changes (improving flexibility).
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of service area definition from a static location-based parameter to a dynamic parameter that changes with terminal location. By updating the service area parameter according to the terminal's current area information, the system maintains continuous service access while adapting to movement, thus resolving the contradiction between reliability and adaptability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the service area is extended to cover larger areas, then the terminal can access network services more broadly, but the control complexity of connection management increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the self-service principle by enabling the terminal to automatically manage its own service area and connection control. The terminal reports its location information, and the network automatically determines and adjusts the service area without requiring complex manual configuration or control, thus reducing control complexity while expanding service coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses feedback by having the terminal report its current location information to the network, which then uses this feedback to automatically adjust the service area. This feedback mechanism simplifies control complexity while enabling broader service coverage, as the system automatically adapts to terminal location changes.
3Reliability
If the service area is automatically adjusted based on terminal location, then continuous network access is maintained, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by having the terminal itself provide location information and manage its own service area configuration. This reduces the complexity of the area determination system, as the terminal autonomously handles location reporting and service area adjustment, maintaining continuous access without requiring complex centralized control.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces location information as an intermediary element that mediates between the terminal's physical location and the service area configuration. This intermediary approach simplifies the overall system complexity by using location data as a bridge to automatically determine and adjust service areas, ensuring continuous access without complex processing.

AI summary
In order to make it possible to suitably change a service area even in a case where an area in which a first terminal apparatus is present has changed, a communication control system includes: a terminal location area determination section (11) that determines a first presence area in which the first terminal apparatus is located; a service area determination section (12) that determines, in accordance with the determined first presence area, a service area which provides a network service; and a control section (13) that controls connection between the network service and a second terminal apparatus in accordance with the determined service area.
