Centralized Server Routing for Certified and Non-Certified Terminal Identities
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication technologies face challenges in efficiently establishing communications using certified or non-certified calling identities, particularly in roaming situations, due to reliance on CAMEL protocols not supported by all operators and high PDD delays, which affect user experience and restrict service availability.
Innovation Solution
A centralized server system that receives a request from a terminal with a calling identity, determines a pair of certified and non-certified identities, and routes communications using a routable number optimized for connectivity mode, independent of CAMEL or INAP protocols, allowing service provision across different networks and operators.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If CAMEL protocols are used to establish communications with certified or non-certified identities, then service functionality is provided, but service availability is restricted to operators supporting CAMEL protocols
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that mediates between the terminal and the network. This server handles the complexity of protocol conversions and identity management, allowing terminals to access communication services with both certified and non-certified identities without being directly dependent on CAMEL protocol support in all network elements. The server acts as a universal interface that adapts to different network capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal communication service architecture that works across different network types and operators. By implementing a centralized server that manages both certified and non-certified identities and provides routing functionality, the system achieves multi-functionality that transcends operator-specific protocol implementations, thereby improving service availability across diverse network environments.
2Ease of operation
If traditional routing methods are used, then communications can be established, but PDD delays are high affecting user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary routing decisions at the server level before communications are established. The server pre-determines optimal routing paths based on terminal location, network conditions, and service type (certified or non-certified identity). This preliminary action allows the network to bypass intermediate processing steps that would otherwise contribute to PDD delays, directly establishing optimized communication paths.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic routing capabilities where the server continuously adapts communication paths based on real-time network conditions, terminal mobility, and service requirements. This dynamic adjustment optimizes routing efficiency and reduces delays compared to static traditional routing methods, directly improving user experience by minimizing PDD delays.
3Reliability
If certified identities are used for all communications, then authentication reliability is maintained, but cost and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating authentication requirements based on communication context. Certified identities are used selectively for communications requiring high security or when the terminal is in specific network conditions, while non-certified identities are used for other communications where full authentication is not necessary. This localized approach maintains reliability where needed while reducing energy consumption overall.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the authentication parameter dynamically based on communication type, network conditions, and user preferences. The system can switch between certified and non-certified identity modes, effectively changing the authentication parameter to optimize the balance between reliability and energy consumption for different communication scenarios.
4Loss of energy
If non-certified identities are used, then energy consumption is reduced, but service reliability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The server acts as an intermediary that enhances the reliability of non-certified identity communications. Even when terminals use energy-efficient non-certified identities, the server maintains routing accuracy and service quality by managing the mapping between non-certified identities and actual terminal locations, thereby compensating for the reduced authentication capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent substitutes the mechanical authentication mechanism (certified identity verification) with a server-based routing and identification system. This substitution allows non-certified identities to be used with maintained service reliability, as the server provides alternative mechanisms for ensuring communication quality and routing accuracy without requiring full authentication at the terminal level.
Data Source
AI summary
Methods and devices for establishing a communication between a first and a second terminal are described. The disclosed technology can be implemented in or by a server or a terminal in communication with the server. The first terminal can to the server, using a first calling identity, a request including connection information and an identifier of the first terminal. Using the identifier, the server can obtain from a database a pair of calling identities including one certified and one non-certified, the pair comprising the first calling identity and a second calling identity. The server can determine, from one of the calling identities and from the connection information, a connectivity mode of the terminal, and determine a routable number on which the terminal can send a communication to the server. The server can route the communication towards the second terminal by presenting a calling identity of the pair and sending the routable number to the first terminal.
