Solution Overview

Problem

Multi-SIM terminals often experience performance degradation due to conflicts between SIM cards during simultaneous communication, and existing solutions lack a standardized method to effectively manage these issues, leading to inefficiencies and user experience problems.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that allow terminals to send multi-SIM problem notifications to base stations, enabling the base stations to determine the occurrence of conflicts and provide targeted solutions based on their capabilities, reducing unnecessary notifications and improving communication efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple SIM cards conduct communication at the same time, then the terminal supports multi-SIM functionality, but performance is degraded due to conflicts between SIM cards

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-SIM functionalityVSAvoidcommunication performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal feeds back multi-SIM problem notifications to the base station when conflicts occur between SIM cards. This feedback mechanism enables the base station to detect the conflict state and adjust its scheduling decisions, transforming the terminal's passive conflict victim into an active participant in conflict resolution through information feedback.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The base station acts as an intermediary that receives conflict notifications from the terminal and mediates the resource allocation between multiple SIM cards. By introducing this intermediary coordination layer, the system resolves conflicts that would otherwise directly degrade terminal performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If the terminal sends multi-SIM problem notifications to the base station, then targeted problem management is enabled, but communication overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproblem resolution efficiencyVSAvoidcommunication overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal sends multi-SIM problem notifications selectively rather than continuously - only when actual conflicts occur or are predicted to occur. This partial action approach avoids the energy waste of constant notification transmission while ensuring that meaningful conflict information reaches the base station for timely resolution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Ease of operation

If the base station determines specific multi-SIM problems from terminal notifications, then targeted solutions can be provided, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetargeted problem managementVSAvoidbase station processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal extracts and reports only the essential multi-SIM conflict information to the base station, separating the detection function (at terminal) from the resolution function (at base station). This extraction approach reduces the information burden on the base station while maintaining its ability to provide targeted solutions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

4Speed

If multi-SIM problem notifications are sent frequently, then the base station can respond to conflicts timely, but resource waste increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconflict response timeVSAvoidcommunication resources
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The notification mechanism operates on demand rather than continuously - notifications are sent only when multi-SIM conflicts actually occur or are predicted to occur. This partial action ensures timely conflict response while avoiding the resource waste of frequent unnecessary notifications during normal operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
