Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face challenges in seamlessly transferring or reconnecting to sequence-accessible calls, such as conference calls, across devices due to dropped connections and inefficient reconnection processes, which can cause delays and burdensome procedures.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for gathering and transferring connection data using wireless adapters and near-field communication (NFC) to facilitate seamless connectivity and reconnection to sequence-accessible calls across user information handling systems, allowing for efficient transfer and reestablishment of calls without the need for manual re-dialing or re-entering access codes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual re-dialing or re-entering access codes is required for reconnection, then connection reliability is improved through user confirmation, but user operation complexity increases and reconnection time is extended
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically performs reconnection operations using stored connection data without requiring user intervention. The mobile device autonomously retrieves connection information, initiates reconnection to the sequence-accessible call, and completes the process without manual input, thereby reducing operation complexity while maintaining reliability through automated verification protocols
Solution Approach 2:
Connection data including access codes and dialing sequences are captured and stored in advance during the initial call setup. This preliminary capture of connection information eliminates the need for users to re-enter data during reconnection, reducing both operation complexity and reconnection time while ensuring accurate reconnection through pre-validated data
2Loss of time
If connection data is automatically transferred between devices, then reconnection speed is improved, but system complexity increases due to data capture and transfer mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
A call management system serves as an intermediary between mobile devices and sequence-accessible calls. This intermediary captures connection data from the call server, stores it centrally, and facilitates automatic transfer to the mobile device needing reconnection. This approach reduces reconnection time while managing system complexity by centralizing data management functions in the call management system rather than embedding complex capture mechanisms in each device
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates and transfers a copy of the connection data (dialing sequence, access codes, call parameters) from the original device or call management system to the target device. This copying mechanism enables rapid reconnection without requiring the target device to re-establish the connection from scratch, significantly reducing reconnection time while keeping the data transfer mechanism simple and standardized
3Speed
If NFC proximity links are used for data transfer, then connection establishment speed is improved, but device compatibility requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements multiple data transfer mechanisms including NFC proximity links, wireless network transmission, and other communication protocols. This multi-functional approach ensures that devices with NFC capability can utilize high-speed proximity-based transfer, while devices without NFC can fall back to alternative methods, thereby maintaining broad device compatibility while still enabling fast connection establishment for NFC-capable devices

AI summary
A method for establishing a connection to a sequence-accessible call includes gathering connection data for establishing the connection to the sequence-accessible call including a phone number dialed to access the sequence-accessible call. The method may also include storing the connection data in a database, determining a presence of a proximity link, and transmitting the connection data to an information handling system.
