Home Gateway Uniform Number Binding and Priority Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In home gateway systems, multiple phones connected to a single gateway can lead to confusion and busy tones when trying to establish connections, especially with varying wireless numbers, causing user experience issues and increased maintenance workload due to the need for manual management of terminal number bindings.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that automatically binds terminal numbers (PSTN, VoIP, and wireless module numbers) to a uniform number on the home gateway, configuring incoming call priorities and sending binding messages to a network apparatus to manage connections based on priority, allowing users to configure connection sequences without manual intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If multiple terminal numbers are bound to a uniform number manually, then the binding relation can be configured, but the maintenance workload increases and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The home gateway automatically performs terminal number binding to uniform numbers without requiring manual user configuration. The system self-services by detecting terminal connections, generating binding relations, and sending binding messages to the network apparatus automatically, thereby improving user experience while reducing maintenance workload.
Solution Approach 2:
The home gateway performs preliminary binding actions when terminals are first connected or before call attempts are made. By pre-establishing binding relations between terminal numbers and uniform numbers, the system prepares the connection framework in advance, enabling seamless uniform number communication without requiring manual setup during actual use.
2Adaptability or versatility
If wireless module numbers are allowed to vary for plug-and-play, then adaptability improves, but number confusion occurs under uniform number mode
Solution Approach 1:
The home gateway acts as an intermediary between variable wireless module numbers and the uniform number system. It maintains binding relations that map changing terminal numbers to stable uniform numbers, allowing wireless modules to be plugged and played freely while preventing number confusion through automatic binding management and message transmission to the network apparatus.
3Reliability
If a terminal occupies an upstream path for conversation, then voice communication is established, but subsequent calls to the same number receive busy tones
Solution Approach 1:
The home gateway implements feedback mechanisms by monitoring terminal communication states and tracking which terminals are currently occupying upstream paths. When a terminal is busy, the system receives feedback about its status and uses this information to route subsequent uniform number calls to alternative bound terminals, thereby maintaining high call connection success rates while ensuring reliable voice communication establishment.

AI summary
The embodiments of the invention disclose a method, a device and a system for uniform number communication and relate to the technology field of mobile communication. The application of the uniform number service on a home gateway can be optimized by automatically configuring a uniform number and the incoming call priority of the bound numbers on the home gateway, and thus the user experience is improved and simultaneously the maintenance workload is reduced. The method for the uniform number communication includes the following steps: binding the terminal numbers of the terminals which are connected to an interface of the home gateway to a uniform number; configuring binding relation for the bound terminal numbers, wherein the binding relation includes the bound terminal numbers and the incoming call priority of the bound terminal numbers; and sending a uniform number binding message that carries the uniform number and the binding relation. The invention is applied to the uniform number communication.
