Communication Terminal Voice Call Context Signaling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Communication terminals often require users to redundantly convey the purpose of a voice call after sending a message, as existing systems lack a method to transfer additional information related to the voice call, leading to inconvenient conversations.
Innovation Solution
A method for communication terminals to transmit and receive additional information, such as message-related data, during a voice call setup, allowing callers to share the purpose of the call and reducing call duration-related traffic.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If additional information is transmitted during voice call setup, then call context sharing is improved, but signaling overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by transmitting call context information (such as message content, call purpose, or relevant data) during the call setup phase before the actual voice conversation begins. This allows both parties to have the necessary information ready in advance, eliminating the need to verbally exchange basic context during the call, thus reducing call duration and overall traffic while improving information availability.
2Productivity
If message content is shared before voice call, then conversation efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the message exchange function with the voice call setup procedure. Instead of treating them as separate operations, the system combines them into a unified process where message content or call context information is transmitted as part of the call establishment signaling. This integration leverages existing communication protocols and infrastructure, avoiding the need for separate complex systems while improving conversation efficiency.

AI summary
Disclosed in various examples is a method for supporting voice calls linked with message provision in a communication terminal. To this end, additional information is transmitted to a counterpart communication terminal by a voice call request to the counterpart communication terminal, and after the additional information is transmitted, the counterpart communication terminal is called in response to the transmitted additional information. The additional information includes information on at least one message selected from among messages transmitted to the counterpart communication terminal or being received from the counterpart communication terminal and stored.
