Pre-Connection Caller Information Display With Format Conversion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication systems lack the ability to provide real-time or near-real-time information about the calling party to the called party before establishing a connection, especially when the formats are incompatible, and the caller's identity and additional information are often limited to pre-stored data requiring prior connection and shared profiles.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that allows real-time caller information to be transmitted via a one-way connection, converting formats as needed, and displaying this information on the called party's device before accepting or rejecting the connection request, using a centralized or decentralized system with real-time information capture and transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If real-time caller information is transmitted via one-way connection, then caller identification accuracy is improved, but device compatibility is worsened due to format support issues
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that receives real-time caller information in various formats, converts it to a standardized format, and delivers it to the called party's device. This mediator resolves the compatibility issue between different device formats while maintaining real-time information transmission accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically changes the format parameter of caller information based on the capabilities of the receiving device. The server detects the device's format support and transforms the information accordingly, allowing real-time information to be delivered in compatible formats without loss of identification accuracy.
2Adaptability or versatility
If format conversion is performed for real-time information, then device compatibility is improved, but information processing time is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining multiple format templates and pre-establishing conversion rules for different device types. When real-time information needs to be transmitted, the server quickly matches the receiving device's format requirements with pre-prepared conversion templates, significantly reducing the actual conversion time while maintaining broad device compatibility.
3Loss of information
If real-time information is transmitted continuously, then information freshness is improved, but network bandwidth consumption is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of continuous transmission, the system implements periodic information updates at optimized intervals. The server determines the appropriate update frequency based on the type of caller information and the specific communication scenario, transmitting real-time information periodically to maintain freshness while avoiding unnecessary continuous data flow that would consume excessive network bandwidth.
Data Source
AI summary
To provide a called one with information on the caller, a reference to a resource containing real-time or near-real-time information relating to the caller, or information deduced using the real-time or near-real-time information, or the real-time or near-real-time information, or the information deduced using the real-time or near-real-time information, is transmitted with a connection establishment request, and the information in the resource or the received information is displayed to the called one before the requested connection is established so that the called one can make a decision whether or not to answer the call.
