Solution Overview

Problem

Current mobile communication systems require manual user intervention to switch between multiple SIMs for data services, leading to high switching latency and low efficiency due to suboptimal network selection.

Innovation Solution

A communication processing method that detects whether a first SIM meets a trigger condition and automatically switches to a second SIM for communication processing, reducing latency and improving efficiency by selecting the best available network.
