Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems lack efficient methods for users to temporarily activate or deactivate identities for contacts, leading to difficulties in managing incoming calls and messages, as existing solutions do not allow for seamless identification and management of multiple identities without re-binding or re-installing bindings between identities and contacts.

Innovation Solution

The method involves transmitting a SIP register message with a first field indicating the status and a second field containing the identity, using IMS communication identifiers or application reference identifiers to activate or deactivate identities, allowing users to control which identities are active or inactive for receiving calls or messages, thereby enabling temporary activation and deactivation of identities.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users want to activate or deactivate identities for contacts, then control over incoming communications is improved, but existing systems require re-binding or re-installing bindings which increases complexity and time consumption

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentity activation/deactivationVSAvoidre-binding process
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the identity status information from the complex binding process and transmits it separately in the SIP REGISTER message body. This allows identity activation/deactivation to be handled independently without re-establishing the entire binding between identity and contact, thus simplifying the operation while maintaining communication reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary configuration of identity status in the SIP REGISTER message before actual communication occurs. By pre-configuring which identities are active or inactive in the message body, the system avoids the need for re-binding operations later, reducing both complexity and time consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If users want to manage multiple identities temporarily, then communication flexibility is improved, but existing solutions lack efficient methods which increases time consumption

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentity management flexibilityVSAvoididentity configuration time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables continuous identity management by incorporating status information directly into the SIP REGISTER message flow. Instead of interrupting communication for re-binding operations, the system maintains continuous operation by updating identity status in the message body, thus improving flexibility without time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter representation by including identity status as a parameter in the SIP REGISTER message body rather than requiring separate binding operations. This allows temporary activation/deactivation of identities by simply modifying the status parameter in the message, significantly reducing configuration time while maintaining adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Manufacturing precision

If the SIP register message includes status identifier and identity fields, then identity management precision is improved, but message structure complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentity status configurationVSAvoidmessage structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses the SIP REGISTER message body as an intermediary structure to carry identity status information. Rather than creating a completely new complex protocol, it leverages the existing SIP REGISTER message framework and adds status information to the message body, thus improving configuration precision while minimizing structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for configuring a SIP register message. One method includes transmitting, by a device to a network entity, a session initiation protocol (SIP) register message. The SIP register message includes: a first field of the SIP register message, wherein the first field of the SIP register message includes an identifier indicating a status for an identity; and a second field of the SIP register message. The second field of the SIP register message includes the identity. The method includes receiving an acknowledgement indicating that the device is registered.
