Virtual Mobile Device Application for Failed Call Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile devices outside their carrier network range experience service disruptions, including call failures, as existing technologies lack effective alternative communication solutions to maintain connectivity between devices.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that identify failed call connections and invoke a virtual mobile device application on a virtual machine to transmit communication messages, using a virtual computing network to establish alternative communication paths, such as SMS or email notifications, between calling and called devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If mobile devices operate on carrier networks, then communication services are provided, but service disruption occurs when devices are outside carrier network range
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a virtual machine as an intermediary component that receives call routing information from the carrier network and forwards it to alternative communication platforms (VoIP, SMS, email). This mediator enables devices outside carrier network range to maintain communication by translating carrier network protocols into alternative communication protocols, thus resolving the contradiction between service availability and range flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions communication from a two-dimensional carrier network dependency to a three-dimensional solution space by adding a virtual machine layer. This virtual layer processes call routing decisions and routes communications through multiple alternative dimensions (VoIP, SMS, email platforms), enabling continuous communication regardless of physical carrier network coverage.
2Adaptability or versatility
If virtual machines are invoked to process failed calls, then alternative communication paths are established, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The virtual machine is pre-configured with communication preferences and alternative platform credentials before being invoked. The master file contains pre-defined routing logic and communication protocols, so when the virtual machine is activated during a failed call scenario, it can immediately execute pre-prepared communication strategies without requiring complex real-time configuration, thus reducing operational complexity while maintaining versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of implementing full communication functionality directly in the mobile device, the patent uses a virtual machine that copies and executes communication logic from a master file. This copying approach allows the complex communication handling to be centralized in the virtual machine environment rather than distributed across multiple devices, simplifying the overall system architecture while providing adaptable communication capabilities.

AI summary
One example method of operation may include identifying a call communication intended for a called device, determining the call communication resulted in a failed call connection, responsive to identifying the failed call connection, invoking a virtual mobile device application operating on a virtual machine, executing a master file stored in the virtual machine, and responsive to executing the master file, transmitting a communication message to the called device.
