Communication Method for Seamless Data Services During Calls
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication methods require users to go through tedious interactive processes like user registration, login, and authentication, which increase the cost and reduce the experience of multi-media communication beyond voice and video calls, such as file sharing and picture sharing, during ongoing calls.
Innovation Solution
A communication method that automatically initiates a secondary communication network for data services while maintaining a primary communication network for voice or video calls, allowing users to engage in additional interactions like file sharing or picture sharing without additional user interactions, by using identification information to establish user identifiers and data channels through applications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users engage in multi-media communication (file sharing, picture sharing) during calls using existing network interactive applications, then communication functionality is enhanced, but users must experience tedious interactive processes (user registration, login, authentication, adding friends, finding friends) which increase using cost and reduce user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically establishing data channels and completing user identification before the user actually needs to share files or pictures. The communication management module proactively sets up the data connection when a call is initiated, so that when users want to share media during the call, the pathway is already prepared and they can proceed directly without registration or login steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by automatically handling user identification and data channel establishment without requiring user intervention. The communication management module uses the call relationship to automatically identify users and create data connections, allowing the system to serve itself in setting up multi-media communication infrastructure without user involvement in authentication processes.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users engage in multi-media communication during calls, then communication needs are met, but additional interaction operations are required which increase using cost
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges the voice call channel and data communication channel into a unified communication framework. The communication management module combines the established call relationship with automatic data channel creation, so that voice and data communications are integrated under one management system. This merging eliminates the need for separate authentication and connection setup processes for data sharing during calls.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication management module provides multi-functionality by handling both voice call management and data channel establishment through a single integrated system. This universal module can manage different types of communication (voice, video, file sharing, picture sharing) through a unified interface, allowing users to access multiple communication functions without needing separate applications or authentication processes for each.
