Unified RCS Platform for Multi-Operator Message Conversion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current conversational content services for RCS networks require separate platforms for each mobile network operator, leading to complexity and inefficiency in message transmission across different networks.
Innovation Solution
A unified platform structure that enables message transmission and conversion across multiple RCS networks using a single platform, employing a communication circuit, processor, and memory to manage chatbot information, user data, throttling, and protocol conversion, ensuring stable service delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate platforms are built for each MNO to provide RCS-based conversational contents, then service reliability for each network is improved, but device complexity and system complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple MNO-specific RCS platforms into a single unified platform that can handle messages from multiple networks. The unified platform includes message reception units, protocol conversion units, and message transmission units that work together to receive messages from different MNOs, convert protocols as needed, and transmit to target devices, eliminating the need for separate platforms while maintaining service reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The unified platform is designed with multi-functionality to serve multiple MNOs simultaneously. It includes configurable protocol conversion capabilities that can adapt to different MNO-specific protocols, making a single platform universal enough to handle diverse network requirements without needing separate specialized platforms for each operator
2Adaptability or versatility
If protocol conversion is implemented across multiple RCS networks, then adaptability and message transmission capability are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The unified platform acts as an intermediary between different MNO networks and target devices. It includes protocol conversion units that mediate between various MNO-specific protocols and standard RCS protocols, simplifying the conversion process by centralizing it in a dedicated intermediary component rather than implementing complex conversion logic across multiple separate platforms
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses configurable parameters to adapt to different MNO protocols. The protocol conversion units can be configured with different protocol parameters for various MNOs, allowing the same hardware and software platform to handle multiple protocols by changing configuration parameters rather than requiring separate complex conversion implementations for each protocol

AI summary
An electronic device may be configured to receive a message for a second external electronic device, from a first external electronic device through a first network associated with the first external electronic device among a plurality of rich communication suite (RCS) networks using a communication circuit, to determine whether to transmit the message based on a profile of the second external electronic device including at least one throttling metric for the first network among the plurality of RCS networks stored in a memory and a network state of the first network, and to convert the message based on a protocol of a second network and to transmit the converted message to the second external electronic device through the second network based on determining to transmit the message.
