Location-Based Communication Device Selection System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication systems lack user convenience as they require prior registration of transfer destinations for mobile terminals, limiting the ability to automatically switch to desired communication devices based on location for optimal communication quality, cost, and convenience.
Innovation Solution
A communication system with a mobile terminal and connection control server that dynamically updates user profile information based on location, allowing automatic selection of communication devices for calls and transfers without prior registration, using profile information including designated locations, calling/called device information, and transfer destinations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If prior registration of transfer destination is required, then call transfer can be performed, but user convenience deteriorates due to manual registration burden
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile terminal automatically performs location registration and transfers calls without requiring user intervention. The terminal autonomously determines its location, registers with the connection control device, and manages call transfer based on registered location information, eliminating the need for manual user registration operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs location registration in advance by automatically registering the mobile terminal's location information with the connection control device before call transfer is needed. This preliminary automatic registration ensures that when a call comes in, the transfer destination is already determined based on pre-registered location data.
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual terminal selection is used, then user freedom is maintained, but communication quality and cost optimization deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The connection control device receives location information from the mobile terminal and automatically determines the appropriate transfer destination based on registered location-data mappings. This feedback mechanism ensures that calls are routed to terminals in the correct location, optimizing communication quality and cost without requiring manual user selection.
3Ease of operation
If location-based automatic transfer is implemented, then user convenience improves, but system complexity increases due to registration requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile terminal autonomously handles location registration by automatically transmitting its location information to the connection control device and receiving transfer destination information without requiring user configuration or manual registration operations, thereby simplifying the user interface despite the underlying system complexity.

AI summary
In a communication system of the present invention, a mobile communication terminal 100 includes: a used device information storing means 101 for previously associating and storing designated location information and used device information specifying a communication device to be used depending on a location; a location information acquiring means 102 for acquiring location information representing a location of the terminal itself; and a used device information transmitting means 103 for transmitting the used device information associated with the designated location information corresponding to the acquired location information, to a connection control device. Moreover, the connection control device 200 includes a connection controlling means 201 for considering a communication device corresponding to the used device information transmitted from the mobile communication terminal as a communication device to be used by a user operating the mobile communication terminal having transmitted the used device information, and performing connection control of the communication device.
