Dual-Slot Communication Profile Switching for Uninterrupted Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Modern vehicles with multiple communication profiles often experience interruptions in data connectivity due to conflicts when one profile receives an incoming call, leading to user dissatisfaction.
Innovation Solution
A communication system with a configuration module that dynamically assigns communication profiles to slots based on availability criteria, ensuring that data connectivity is maintained by swapping profiles between slots when a call is received.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple communication profiles are used simultaneously in dual SIM technology, then communication capacity and service availability are improved, but communication interruptions occur when one profile receives an incoming call
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the slot assignment dynamic rather than fixed. The configuration module dynamically assigns communication profiles to slots based on real-time availability criteria. When a call is received on one profile, the system dynamically swaps the assignment to ensure the other profile maintains data connectivity, thus adapting the system behavior to current operational needs and preventing interruptions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the assignment parameter of communication profiles to slots based on availability criteria. The configuration module monitors the operational state of communication profiles and adjusts the slot assignment parameter accordingly. This parameter change enables the system to maintain data connectivity by reassigning profiles to appropriate slots when calls are received, resolving the contradiction between having multiple profiles available and maintaining continuous communication.
2Device complexity
If communication profiles are fixedly assigned to slots, then system simplicity is maintained, but data connectivity is interrupted when calls are received
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service through automated detection and reassignment. The configuration module automatically monitors the operational status of communication profiles, detects when a call is received, and autonomously performs the slot reassignment without manual intervention. This self-service mechanism maintains data connectivity while avoiding the need for complex manual management of profile-slot assignments.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs feedback mechanisms where the configuration module continuously monitors the availability status of communication profiles and adjusts slot assignments based on this feedback. When a call is detected on one profile, the system receives feedback about the changed operational state and automatically adjusts the assignment to maintain data connectivity, thus resolving the contradiction between simplicity and reliability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If both slots are configured for full communication services, then service availability is maximized, but conflicts arise and services cannot be provided simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the communication functionality into distinct slots with specialized roles. Instead of both slots having identical full-service configurations that conflict, the system segments the services such that one slot is optimized for telephony while the other maintains data connectivity capability. This segmentation allows both services to operate simultaneously without conflicts, resolving the contradiction between service availability and simultaneous provision.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements local quality by assigning different functional characteristics to different slots based on their specific roles. The first slot may be optimized for telephony operations while the second slot maintains data connectivity as its primary function. This local differentiation of quality and capability allows both services to be provided simultaneously without mutual interference, maximizing overall system productivity.

AI summary
A communication system includes a first slot set up for a plurality of first forms of communication using a communication profile assigned to the first slot, and a second slot set up for a plurality of second forms of communication using a communication profile assigned to the second slot. A configuration module is set up to variably assign a respective communication profile for a communication to the first slot and the second slot based on at least one assignment criterion. The at least one assignment criterion relates to at least one form of communication of the plurality of first forms of communication and/or plurality of second forms of communication. A communication module carries out communication via the first slot or the second slot using the communication profile assigned by the configuration module.
