Dynamic Proximity Detection Point Switching for Call Resource Conservation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current call transfer techniques and proximity detection methods between user devices and vehicle devices require supporting two different types of call transfer techniques, leading to resource wastage due to complications in properly pushing calls between devices.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a dynamic switching mechanism for proximity detection points between vehicle and user devices, allowing the vehicle device to receive an ongoing call and switch the proximity detection point, thereby utilizing only the call pull transfer technique and conserving resources.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If fixed proximity detection functions are used between vehicle device and user device, then call transfer can be implemented, but computing and networking resources are wasted due to support for two different call transfer techniques
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the proximity detection point switchable between the vehicle device and user device based on operational context. The system dynamically determines which device should be the proximity detection point by evaluating call status and device roles, thereby eliminating the need to support both call push and call pull transfer techniques simultaneously, reducing resource waste
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of proximity detection point assignment from a fixed configuration to a dynamic one. By altering which device serves as the proximity detection point based on call status and device capabilities, the system optimizes resource usage and eliminates the need for dual call transfer technique support
2Adaptability or versatility
If call push transfer technique is supported for all scenarios, then call transfer between devices is possible, but system complexity increases due to need to support two different call transfer techniques
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically assigns the proximity detection point role based on operational scenarios, allowing the vehicle device or user device to be selected appropriately. This dynamic assignment enables the system to adapt to different call transfer needs without maintaining complex support for multiple transfer techniques, as only one technique is needed depending on which device is the proximity detection point
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the proximity detection point selection mechanism universal by allowing either the vehicle device or user device to serve as the detection point based on call status. This multi-functional approach consolidates call transfer capabilities into a single technique while maintaining versatility across different scenarios

AI summary
A first device may dynamically switch a proximity detection point from a second device, conducting an on-going call via a device identifier, to the first device. The first device may receive a proximity detection signal or an indication of a loss of a proximity detection signal from the second device, wherein the first device and the second device are associated with the device identifier. The first device may receive, from a network, another indication of the on-going call being conducted by the second device and may provide, to the network, a call origination request to pull the on-going call based on the proximity detection signal or the indication and based on the other indication of the on-going call. The first device may connect with the on-going call based on the call origination request and may conduct the on-going call via the first device rather than the second device.
