Solution Overview

Problem

Existing dual-SIM dual-standby mobile devices cannot simultaneously connect to both private and public networks securely, and they lack real-time notification display capabilities between multiple computer systems.

Innovation Solution

A dual-network dual-system mobile device with two independent computer modules, each communicating through isolated network channels, and a switch module that allows seamless switching between them, enabling secure dual-network access and real-time notification display on a single display screen.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single SIM card mobile device connects to one access point, then network connection is established, but it cannot connect to both private and public networks simultaneously

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork connection capabilityVSAvoidconvenience of simultaneous dual-network access
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The mobile device is divided into two independent computer systems, each with its own SIM card slot and network connection capability. The first computer system connects to the private network while the second computer system connects to the public network, allowing simultaneous dual-network access without interference between networks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A network isolation mechanism acts as an intermediary between the two network connections. This isolation layer ensures that while both networks are simultaneously accessible, they remain logically separated to prevent security risks from propagating between networks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If a dual SIM card dual standby mobile device connects to two access points simultaneously, then both public and private networks are accessible, but security risks increase due to potential contamination between networks

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedual-network access capabilityVSAvoidinformation security
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The device segments network connections at the system level by creating two independent computer systems with separate network stacks and processes. This segmentation ensures that security compromises in one network cannot affect the other system, maintaining information security while enabling dual-network access.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A virtualization layer or network isolation mechanism serves as an intermediary that manages both network connections while enforcing strict security boundaries. This intermediary prevents malicious programs or contaminated data from propagating between the private and public network interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If two computer systems are configured in the same mobile device, then multiple networks can be accessed, but notification display between systems is delayed or unavailable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-system operation capabilityVSAvoidreal-time notification visibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The display interface is designed as a universal output that can show notifications from both computer systems simultaneously. The notification system aggregates alerts from both systems and presents them in a unified interface, ensuring that important information from either system is not lost and can be viewed in real-time regardless of which system is currently active.

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

AI summary

A dual-network dual-system mobile device is provided in the disclosure. The mobile device includes a mobile network module, a transfer station module, two computer modules, a switch module, a human-machine interface (HMI), and a casing. The HMI is configured to interact with one computer module and to receive a real-time notification from another computer module. The transfer station module respectively establishes two network channels with two access points through the mobile network module and mobile network. The two network channels are isolated virtually from each other.
