Problem

Existing communication apparatuses face limitations in handling apparatus terminated communication requests, particularly in scenarios where multiple wireless communication services need to be managed simultaneously, leading to constraints in communication capability.

Innovation Solution

A communication apparatus comprising multiple radio transceiver modules and subscriber identity cards, coupled with a processor that determines communication status limitations across different wireless networks, allowing for the transfer of apparatus terminated communication requests between them to optimize communication capacity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a communication apparatus camps on multiple cells belonging to different wireless networks, then the communication capability is improved, but the complexity of managing communication requests increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication capabilityVSAvoidcomplexity of managing communication requests
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The communication apparatus is segmented into multiple independent communication modules, each capable of camping on a specific cell of a wireless network independently. Each module has its own transceiver and subscriber identity card, allowing autonomous operation while maintaining overall system coordination through the processor.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The communication apparatus achieves multi-functionality by enabling a single device to simultaneously camp on multiple cells belonging to different wireless networks. The processor universally manages communication requests across all modules, allowing the apparatus to function as both a multi-network terminal and a request forwarding node.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If the communication apparatus manages multiple wireless communication services simultaneously, then the communication capability is enhanced, but the difficulty of handling communication requests increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication capabilityVSAvoiddifficulty of handling communication requests
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The communication apparatus performs preliminary actions by proactively detecting communication status limitations before they become critical. When a first communication module reaches its limitation, the apparatus pre-establishes forwarding rules and prepares to transfer subsequent communication requests to alternative modules, preventing service interruption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The processor continuously monitors the communication status of each module and provides feedback on resource utilization. When a module approaches its communication limitation, the system adjusts request routing dynamically, transferring requests from saturated modules to available modules based on real-time status feedback.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A communication apparatus is provided. A first subscriber identity card is with a first address and camps on a first cell. A second subscriber identity card is with a second address and camps on a second cell. A processor determines whether a first communication status of the first subscriber identity card reaches a first limitation, determines whether a second communication status of the second subscriber identity card reaches a second limitation, and determines whether to activate a service instructing the first wireless network to transfer a first apparatus terminated communication request of the first subscriber identity card to the second subscriber identity card according to determination results for the first communication status and the second communication status, wherein the first apparatus terminated communication request is initiated from a peer communication entity to request for establishing wireless communication with the first subscriber identity card.
