SIM Card Data Service Priority Management for Mobile Gaming
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile phone systems severely affect game experience due to interference from voice or short message services, as they prioritize voice services over data services, causing data service interruptions when a voice call is made on a secondary SIM card.
Innovation Solution
A data processing method and apparatus that allows a terminal device to enter a scenario mode where the primary SIM card disables voice services, maintaining data service continuity by enabling specific network modes such as PS domain only or 4G service, depending on the SIM card type, to prevent interruptions from external voice or messages.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If voice service is prioritized in existing mobile phone communication functions, then voice service quality is improved, but data service is interrupted when a voice call is made
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts service priorities based on user-selected scenarios. In game scenario mode, data service priority is elevated above voice service, allowing data services to continue uninterrupted during incoming calls. The terminal device switches network modes (e.g., from 4G to 2G/3G for voice calls) to maintain data service continuity while still accepting voice calls, rather than strictly prioritizing voice service as in traditional systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes network parameter configurations based on scenario modes. When game mode is selected, the terminal configures network parameters to allow data services to operate with higher priority, modifying behavior such as network mode switching, packet routing, and service handling to ensure data services are not interrupted by incoming voice calls.
2Reliability
If dual-standby single-pass mode is used with primary SIM for data and secondary SIM for voice, then voice service is improved, but data service is suspended when secondary SIM receives a call
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between different operational modes based on user needs. In dual-standby mode with game scenario enabled, when the secondary SIM receives a voice call, the system dynamically adjusts network resource allocation to maintain data service on the primary SIM, rather than suspending data service as in traditional dual-standby operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention segments the network service handling for different SIM cards and scenarios. The primary SIM card's data service is isolated from interruptions caused by the secondary SIM card's voice calls when game mode is active. The system separately manages network resources for each SIM card based on the selected scenario mode, allowing independent optimization of data and voice services.
3Reliability
If network falls back to 2G or 3G from 4G due to external voice or short message, then voice service is maintained, but data service experience is degraded
Solution Approach 1:
The invention changes network parameter configurations based on scenario modes. When game mode is selected, the terminal configures network parameters to prefer maintaining 4G connectivity for data services even during incoming voice calls, adjusting parameters such as network mode preference, packet routing priorities, and service handling to minimize data service degradation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system takes preliminary action by pre-configuring network parameters and service priorities before the voice call interrupt occurs. When game mode is detected, the terminal proactively adjusts network configurations to prevent data service degradation, setting up priority routing and network mode preferences that resist the typical fallback to 2G/3G that would otherwise occur during voice calls.

AI summary
Embodiments of this application provide methods, apparatuses, and terminal devices for managing communications services. In an implementation, a method comprises: identifying, by an input device of a terminal device, an operation performed on the terminal device for entering a service mode that prioritizes data services over voice services; sending, by a subscriber identification module (SIM) card of the terminal device, one or more instructions to a network server, wherein the one or more instructions instruct the network server to disable the voice services of the SIM card; and in response to identifying the operation, activating, by the SIM card, the service mode by disabling a function on the terminal device corresponding to the voice services.
