Dynamic Terminal Priority Management in IP Networks
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The static priority setting of terminals in IP communication networks leads to suboptimal quality of service, as terminals with high priority can be disturbed by incoming communications when already engaged or in inappropriate situations, and users or operators must intervene to change priorities.
Innovation Solution
A method for dynamic management of terminal priority, where predetermined events trigger updates to the priority parameter, allowing the priority to change without user or operator intervention, by detecting events such as location, communication status, or device conditions and sending these updates to the network management device within the SIP registration process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If static priority settings are used for terminals, then the system is simple to operate and configure, but the service quality is suboptimal as terminals cannot adapt to changing contexts
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the terminal priority parameter adjustable and adaptive rather than fixed. The terminal can dynamically modify its priority value based on detected events such as location changes, communication status, or device conditions, allowing the system to adapt to varying contexts while maintaining operational simplicity through automated adjustments.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the priority parameter from a static configuration value to a dynamic variable that can be modified by the terminal based on detected events. This parameter change enables the terminal to optimize its reception priority according to current conditions, improving service quality without requiring complex manual reconfiguration.
2Productivity
If high priority is assigned to terminals, then incoming communications are received promptly, but the terminal is disturbed when already engaged in communication or in inappropriate situations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by having the terminal continuously monitor its own state and external conditions, then adjust its priority parameter accordingly. When the terminal detects it is engaged in communication or in an inappropriate situation, it reduces its priority value, preventing further disturbances while maintaining efficient communication reception when appropriate.
3Reliability
If manual intervention is required to change terminal priorities, then the system remains simple with no complex automation, but user or operator intervention is needed to optimize service quality
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling the terminal to automatically manage its own priority parameter based on detected events. The terminal independently determines when to increase or decrease its priority without requiring user or operator intervention, achieving optimized service quality through automated self-adjustment while keeping the system relatively simple.

AI summary
The method involves detecting a predetermined event (20) relative to a terminal, where the event corresponds to a location of the terminal. Value of priority parameter of the terminal is sent (22) toward a telecommunication network management device in case of positive detection of the event, where the value of priority parameter is assigned (21) based on the predetermined event. The terminal near the management device is de-registered, and initial value of the parameter is stored, where the value of the parameter is reassigned to the stored initial value at end of the event. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a device for dynamic management of receiving priority of communication of terminal with respect to another terminal (2) a computer program having a set of instructions to perform a method for dynamic management of receiving priority of communication of a terminal with respect to another terminal.
