Emulating Mobile User Equipment as Internet Client
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing solutions for call establishment between internet communication systems and mobile communication systems require additional hardware, SIM cards, or permanent PC connection, and are inadequate for handling roaming mobile users effectively.
Innovation Solution
A method and equipment that emulate mobile communication user equipment as a client in the internet communication environment, allowing for call establishment without additional hardware, by representing the mobile user's status and synchronizing availability, location, and charging information, enabling seamless communication between internet and mobile users.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If additional hardware or SIM cards are installed to enable call establishment between internet and mobile communication systems, then call connectivity is improved, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual copy of the mobile user equipment in the internet communication environment by emulating it as an internet client. This virtual representation allows call establishment without physical hardware installation at the user's location, resolving the contradiction between reliable connectivity and hardware complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a communication gateway as an intermediary between mobile and internet communication systems. This gateway handles the emulation and status representation, enabling call connectivity without requiring end-user hardware modifications, thus maintaining reliability while minimizing device complexity
2Ease of operation
If a PC is permanently switched on to maintain internet communication capability, then ease of use is improved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent dynamically manages the internet client representation by tracking the mobile user's actual availability status. The system activates or deactivates the virtual internet client based on whether the mobile user is available for communication, eliminating the need for permanent PC operation while maintaining ease of use
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile user equipment itself provides the internet communication capability through the emulation mechanism. The mobile device's availability status automatically updates the virtual client state, removing the requirement for a permanently powered PC and reducing energy consumption
3Reliability
If centralized infrastructure is used to ensure reliable call establishment, then call connectivity is improved, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of building complex centralized infrastructure, the patent creates virtual copies of mobile users in the internet environment through emulation. This approach achieves reliable call establishment by leveraging existing internet infrastructure rather than requiring new centralized systems
Solution Approach 2:
The communication gateway serves multiple functions: it acts as a mobile network interface, an internet communication server, and a status management system simultaneously. This multi-functionality reduces infrastructure complexity while maintaining reliable call establishment between mobile and internet users
