Solution Overview

Problem

In existing communication technologies, when a terminal with multiple SIM cards receives paging signaling, the information of other SIM cards is not efficiently transmitted, leading to delays in establishing communication connections with base stations.

Innovation Solution

The method involves a terminal receiving paging signaling through a first SIM card, determining if the signaling includes information about a second SIM card, and then transmitting that information to the second SIM card through the first SIM card, allowing the second SIM card to receive necessary information ahead of time.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If paging signaling is received only through the specific SIM card's paging occasion, then each SIM card receives its own information reliably, but the terminal experiences delays in establishing communication connections when switching between SIM cards

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepaging signaling reception reliabilityVSAvoidconnection establishment delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal performs preliminary action by receiving and caching paging signaling information for the second SIM card during the first SIM card's paging occasion, before the second SIM card actually needs to establish a connection. This advance reception and storage of paging information eliminates the waiting time when the second SIM card becomes active, as the information is already available in the terminal's memory rather than requiring retrieval from the network at the moment of need.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If the terminal waits for the second SIM card's specific paging occasion to receive its information, then each SIM card operates independently as in traditional systems, but the overall system efficiency and connection establishment speed decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveSIM card independent operationVSAvoidconnection establishment efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal merges the paging information reception function for multiple SIM cards into a unified process. Instead of each SIM card independently receiving paging signaling only during its own paging occasion, the terminal combines the paging monitoring function to receive and cache paging information for both SIM cards during the first SIM card's paging occasion, thereby improving overall system efficiency while maintaining SIM card independence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Device complexity

If the terminal uses separate paging occasions for each SIM card, then the paging signaling structure remains simple and clear, but the terminal cannot efficiently share paging information between multiple SIM cards

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepaging signaling structure complexityVSAvoidpaging information sharing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal implements multi-functionality by enabling the first SIM card's paging occasion to serve dual purposes: receiving paging information for the first SIM card and simultaneously caching paging information for the second SIM card. This universal approach allows a single paging occasion to fulfill multiple information gathering functions, improving paging information sharing efficiency without requiring additional separate paging occasions or complex signaling structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
