Solution Overview

Problem

Dual SIM mobile phones experience conflicts when one communication card is in service and the other needs to be in service, such as receiving paging or initiating services, leading to coordination issues between the two communication cards.

Innovation Solution

A terminal device determines whether to respond to a paging message based on its cause, indicating to the network that it does not respond if it decides not to, ensuring coordinated dual SIM operations by managing the services of both communication cards through a processor and memory configuration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the terminal device responds to all paging messages, then service completeness is improved, but coordination between dual SIM cards deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice completenessVSAvoidcoordination between communication cards
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of paging message response behavior by introducing selective response based on paging cause. The terminal device transitions from responding to all paging messages to responding only to specific paging messages based on their cause (e.g., voice call vs. data service), thereby resolving the coordination conflict between dual SIM cards while maintaining necessary service completion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If the terminal device does not respond to paging messages, then coordination between communication cards is improved, but service completeness deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoordination between communication cardsVSAvoidservice completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanism where the terminal device sends indication information to the network to inform it of the paging message non-response. This feedback allows the network to understand the terminal's intent and adjust subsequent paging behavior, ensuring that important services are not lost while maintaining coordination between dual SIM cards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If the terminal device responds to all service requests, then service availability is improved, but resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice availabilityVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating the response behavior based on the specific characteristics of each paging message (its cause). Instead of uniform response to all paging messages, the terminal device evaluates the local characteristics of each message (voice call priority vs. data service) and responds accordingly, optimizing resource consumption while maintaining service availability for critical services.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

Provided are a communication method, a terminal device and a chip. The method includes: a terminal device receives a paging message from a first network and service data from a second network, wherein the first network is a network corresponding to a first communication card in the terminal device, the second network is a network corresponding to a second communication card in the terminal device; and the terminal device determines whether to accept the paging message based on a paging cause in the paging message, and indicates to the first network that the terminal device does not accept the paging message in response to determining not to accept the paging message.
