Mobile Device Phone Number Sharing Controller
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile communication systems do not efficiently allow different mobile devices to share the same phone number, leading to complexities in managing phone functions and communication services across devices.
Innovation Solution
A mobile communication system and method where a mobile device can activate and share a phone number with another device by using a controller to determine the activation state of the phone function and a communicator to perform mobile communication functions, with a subscriber identification module receiving and storing SIM information from a server to facilitate seamless communication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If different mobile devices share the same phone number, then the versatility and ease of operation are improved, but the device complexity and management difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically activates or deactivates phone functions on different devices based on real-time conditions. The controller monitors whether another device using the same phone number has its phone function activated, and accordingly activates or deactivates the current device's phone function, creating a dynamic sharing mechanism that adapts to changing usage states
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by having the controller monitor the activation state of phone functions on other devices. The communicator provides feedback about the activation status, and the controller uses this information to determine whether to activate or deactivate the current device's phone function, creating a closed-loop control system for managing shared phone numbers
2Ease of operation
If automatic activation of phone function is implemented, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically activating the phone function without requiring manual user intervention. The controller autonomously determines when activation is needed based on monitoring other devices' activation states, and automatically activates the phone function through the communicator, eliminating the need for users to manually configure activation settings

AI summary
A mobile device configured to share a phone number of another mobile device on a mobile communication system, the mobile device including: a controller configured to, after determining that a phone function of the another mobile device is deactivated, activate a phone function of the mobile device to which the phone number of the another mobile device is assigned; and a communicator configured to perform a mobile communication function using the phone number when the phone function of the mobile device is activated.
