Communication Service Selection Based on Terminal Context
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face frustration when attempting to establish communication, such as videophone calls, due to the complexity of selecting the appropriate communication service and application, which affects call quality and success, especially when terminals are connected to different networks or lack guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS).
Innovation Solution
A method that determines the optimal communication service for establishing a call between terminals based on their respective communication contexts, including network connectivity and available applications, ensuring the best quality of service is selected automatically, even when terminals are connected to different networks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the user manually selects communication service and application, then the user has control over the communication setup, but the complexity of selection increases and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically determines the appropriate communication service and application based on the communication context of both terminals without requiring user intervention. The calling terminal's processor autonomously selects the optimal service by evaluating network connectivity, available applications, and QoS capabilities, thereby simplifying the user interface while maintaining operational control.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically changes the selected communication service parameters based on real-time communication context information, including network type (2G, 3G, 4G, WiFi), available applications (native, RCS, OTT), and QoS guarantees. This adaptive parameter selection resolves the contradiction by automatically adjusting to optimal configurations without increasing user-facing complexity.
2Ease of operation
If the system automatically selects communication service, then the ease of operation improves, but the reliability of service selection may worsen due to lack of user control
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms by evaluating the communication context of both the calling and called terminals, including network connectivity status, available applications, and QoS capabilities. This feedback loop ensures that the automatically selected service is reliable by confirming compatibility and service availability before establishing communication, thereby maintaining high reliability while improving ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary determination of the communication service before the actual communication establishment. By pre-evaluating the communication context and selecting the appropriate service in advance, the system ensures reliability is maintained while the user experiences simplified operation, as the complex selection process has already been completed automatically.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple communication services are available, then the adaptability of communication options increases, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring the optimal service worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the communication service selection process into distinct evaluation criteria: network connectivity type, available applications (native, RCS, OTT), and QoS capabilities. By dividing the complex selection task into these manageable segments, the system can systematically evaluate each aspect and combine the results to identify the optimal service, thereby reducing the difficulty of detection and measurement while maintaining high adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a universal evaluation framework that works across all communication service types (native applications, RCS, OTT) and network configurations (2G, 3G, 4G, WiFi). This multi-functional approach allows the system to handle diverse service options through a single standardized process, reducing the complexity of detecting and measuring the optimal service while preserving adaptability to various communication scenarios.
4Reliability
If the communication request fails due to network incompatibility, then the reliability worsens, but the user is not informed of the failure reason
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary verification of communication compatibility by evaluating the communication context of both terminals before initiating the communication request. This includes checking network connectivity, application availability, and QoS capabilities. By detecting potential incompatibilities in advance, the system prevents failed communication attempts and can provide informative feedback to the user about why a communication cannot be established, thereby improving both reliability and information retention.
