Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication systems face challenges in efficiently managing electronic data manipulation, as client devices often struggle with processing and storage demands, leading to degraded user experiences and potential failures due to overwhelmed capabilities.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a dynamic analysis module that optimizes data routing, segmentation, and billing across multiple communications networks, reducing the need for local processing and storage by determining the best available network paths, bandwidth, and service providers to fulfill user requests while managing billing scenarios.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If electronic data manipulation is performed locally on the client communications device, then data processing and storage capabilities are utilized, but the processing and storage capabilities of the client device become overwhelmed, degrading user experience and causing failures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem reliabilityVSAvoidclient device processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the data manipulation function from the client communications device and relocates it to a server. The server receives electronic data from the client, performs the manipulation operations (scaling, color correction, formatting) on the server's processing equipment, and returns the manipulated data to the client. This extraction resolves the contradiction by removing the processing burden from the overloaded client device while maintaining system reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the client communications device and the data manipulation process. The server acts as a mediator that receives data from the client, performs the complex manipulation operations using its own processing capabilities, and delivers the processed data back to the client. This intermediary approach allows the client device to avoid being overwhelmed while still achieving the desired data manipulation results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If the client communications device stores and processes electronic data locally, then data manipulation can be performed, but the limited processing and storage capabilities are taxed, causing audio/video presentation to stumble and degrade

AI summary

Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for providing communications services. One method receives a request for communications service. The request for communications service originates from a client communications device, and the request for communications service is communicated to a service provider of a communications network. A preferred scenario of segmentation, dispersion, and assemblage of electronic data is dynamically ascertained to fulfill the request. The method then bills for the communications service.
