Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in managing multiple device registrations, particularly in scenarios where user devices share identities and subscriptions, leading to inconsistent and uncontrolled alerting of notifications and calls across devices.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a network device that processes session initiation protocol messages to determine factors based on registrations performed by multiple devices, enabling controlled data sessions and alert management across devices with shared identities.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple devices share the same identity for registration, then device connectivity and service access are improved, but control over notification delivery and call routing deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice connectivityVSAvoidnotification control
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the notification delivery control by introducing device-specific indicators (such as alerting indicators or routing indicators) that are associated with each device registration. This allows the system to differentiate between multiple devices sharing the same identity, enabling selective notification delivery to specific devices based on user preferences or device status, thereby resolving the contradiction between shared identity connectivity and notification control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of manufacture

If a single identity is used across multiple devices, then service access simplification is improved, but identification precision of the intended receiving device deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice accessVSAvoiddevice identification
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces intermediary elements such as device-specific indicators, registration identifiers, or routing information that act as mediators between the shared identity and the specific device. These intermediaries allow the network to precisely identify which device should receive notifications or calls while maintaining the simplicity of shared identity for service access, thus resolving the contradiction between service access simplification and device identification precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Quantity of substance

If notifications are delivered to all registered devices, then service coverage is improved, but user confusion and unwanted alerting worsens

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice coverageVSAvoiduser confusion
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic notification routing where the system can adaptively determine which devices should receive notifications based on real-time conditions such as user presence, device availability, or user-defined preferences. This dynamic approach maintains broad service coverage by keeping all devices registered while preventing user confusion by selectively delivering notifications only to the most appropriate device at any given time, thus resolving the contradiction between service coverage and user confusion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for a factor for multiple device registrations. One method includes receiving, at a network device from a first device, a first session initiation protocol message including an identity for establishing a data session. The method includes determining a factor based on a first registration performed by a second device and a second registration performed by a third device. The method includes transmitting a second session initiation protocol message including the identity and the factor to the second device. The method includes establishing the data session between the first device and the second device. The identity is: registered for the first registration; registered for the second registration; not registered for the first registration; not registered for the second registration; or some combination thereof.
