Prioritized Data Transmission via Dual-Transceiver Network Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile communication devices face challenges in reliably and efficiently communicating prioritized data when certain networks become inaccessible, as they may need to switch to less reliable third-party networks, which can result in inefficient and unreliable data transmission.
Innovation Solution
The device employs a dual-transceiver system to determine network accessibility and prioritize data transmission, using the second network for critical messages even if non-prioritized services are unavailable, ensuring reliable communication of prioritized data by switching between networks based on accessibility and service agreements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the mobile communication device switches to a third network when the first network is inaccessible, then communication can be maintained, but the reliability and efficiency of data transmission deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments data into prioritized and non-prioritized categories, allowing different transmission paths to be used for different data types. Prioritized data can use the second network even when non-prioritized services are unavailable, while non-prioritized data uses available networks, resolving the contradiction between maintaining communication and ensuring efficient transmission.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic network selection that adapts to changing network conditions. The device continuously monitors network accessibility and service availability, dynamically switching between using the first network, second network, or third network based on current conditions, thereby maintaining both reliability and efficiency.
2Reliability
If the mobile communication device uses the second network for prioritized data when non-prioritized services are unavailable, then prioritized data transmission reliability improves, but the complexity of network management increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary determination of network accessibility and service availability before attempting data transmission. By pre-assessing which networks can handle prioritized versus non-prioritized data, the system avoids complex real-time decision-making during transmission, reducing management complexity while maintaining reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary layer (the processing circuitry) that manages network selection logic. This intermediary automatically determines the appropriate network based on predefined criteria, shielding the user from complex network management decisions while ensuring reliable prioritized data transmission.
3Reliability
If the mobile communication device monitors network accessibility and service availability, then communication quality is maintained, but the energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic monitoring of network accessibility and service availability rather than continuous monitoring. The device checks network conditions at scheduled intervals, maintaining communication quality by detecting changes in network status while reducing energy consumption by avoiding constant monitoring.

AI summary
An electronic device determines that a first network is inaccessible and that non-prioritized services associated with a second network are unavailable. In response, the electronic device communicates non-prioritized data via a third network. Additionally, in response to determining that prioritized services associated with the second network are available, the electronic device transmits a priority message using the second network while communicating the non-prioritized data via the third network. In response to determining the first network is accessible, the electronic device communicates additional non-prioritized data and an additional priority message using the first network.
