Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing OTT downloadable voice clients are not compatible with network calls and lack seamless transition between VoLTE and VoWiFi clients, leading to service reliability and support issues, which can result in call interruptions and user dissatisfaction.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that integrates OTT clients with native VoLTE or VoWiFi clients on handsets, allowing seamless switching between media and system functionalities, using algorithms to determine the appropriate client for call processing based on network changes, ensuring continuous service and security.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If an OTT downloadable voice client is installed on a handset, then users can access voice services over the Internet packet switched network, but the client is not compatible with network calls and lacks seamless transition between VoLTE and VoWiFi clients

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvevoice service accessVSAvoidcall compatibility

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the OTT downloadable voice client with the native embedded voice client into a unified co-existence mechanism. The system integrates both clients and implements a selection algorithm that determines which client should handle incoming calls based on network conditions, ensuring both Internet-based and network-based voice services work together reliably without compatibility issues

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically switches between OTT client and native client based on operational changes and network conditions. The co-existence mechanism monitors network status and automatically selects the appropriate client type (VoLTE, VoWiFi, or OTT) to maintain call compatibility and service reliability across different network environments

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If the system uses algorithms to determine appropriate client selection based on network changes, then seamless transition between VoLTE and VoWiFi is achieved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveseamless switchingVSAvoidco-existence mechanism

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The co-existence mechanism implements self-service through automatic client selection algorithms that monitor network conditions and autonomously determine which client (OTT or native) should handle calls. The system self-manages the switching between VoLTE, VoWiFi, and OTT clients without requiring manual user intervention, maintaining ease of operation despite the underlying complexity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A method for call processing comprising processing telecommunications data with an Over-The-Top (OTT) client on a handset, determining whether to use a voice over long term evolution (VoLTE) client or a WiFi client in response to an operational change and reconfiguring the handset to use the VoLTE client or the WiFi client if the determination is made to use the VoLTE client or the WiFi client, respectively.
