SIP Enabler System for Concurrent Application Execution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current user terminals with access to IP networks cannot efficiently execute multiple applications simultaneously due to direct interaction with the SIP signaling module, leading to conflicts and limitations in accessing IMS and IP network services.
Innovation Solution
A system with a communication interface connecting the application processor to an access module, event dispatcher, and profile manager, allowing multiple applications to share SIP signaling resources, filter events, and manage user identities, enabling simultaneous execution of applications on fixed and mobile terminals.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If each application directly interacts with the SIP signaling module, then the application can access IMS services, but multiple applications cannot execute simultaneously due to conflicts
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an enabler system comprising an access module, event dispatcher, and communication interface that mediates between applications and the SIP signaling module. The access module receives actions from applications, the event dispatcher filters and routes events to appropriate applications, and the communication interface manages the interaction flow. This intermediary layer prevents direct conflicts between multiple applications while maintaining their ability to access IMS services through standardized interfaces.
2Productivity
If multiple applications share SIP signaling resources, then concurrent execution is enabled, but resource management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the resource management functionality into distinct modular components: the access module handles application-specific actions, the event dispatcher manages event filtering and routing based on application interests, and the communication interface coordinates overall interaction. This segmentation allows multiple applications to share SIP signaling resources concurrently while each component handles specific aspects of resource management, reducing overall system complexity despite supporting multiple applications.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a standardized interface is introduced between applications and SIP module, then common access is enabled, but direct control is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal enabler system that provides common access mechanisms for all applications to interact with the SIP signaling module through standardized interfaces. The access module, event dispatcher, and communication interface collectively provide multi-functional capabilities that serve multiple applications simultaneously. While this standardized approach enables common service access, the system maintains application control through the event dispatcher's ability to filter and route events based on application-specific interests and the access module's ability to process application-specific actions.
Data Source
AI summary
The invention relates to a system enabling IP (internet protocol) services for user terminals based on SIP (session initiation protocol) signaling applicable in fixed and mobile terminals (1) of user (2) provided with means of access to an IP network (5) connected to an IMS network (6) communicating with other terminals (1) of user (2) or other services (3). It comprises a communications interface (15) connecting an application processor (7) with at least one access module (26-34) connected to an SIP signaling module (10) for the interaction of the application processor (7) by means of events with other terminals (1) of user (2) and with services (3). It comprises an event dispatcher module (19) receiving the produced events and in which the processor (7) loads filtration criteria of the events required by each application, to send each received event to the applications (8) requiring it.
