Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional communication systems require cumbersome multiple authentications and complex system architectures to enable simultaneous voice calls and service data transmission on mobile intelligent terminals, leading to inefficient interaction between terminals and networks.

Innovation Solution

Establishing a voice channel using a circuit-switched domain between terminals, generating a feature code for security authentication, and determining whether service data exceeds a threshold to decide between using a data link channel or encoding data for transmission over the voice channel.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If separate voice channel and data channel with multiple authentications are used, then communication security is maintained, but system complexity and authentication steps increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication securityVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the voice channel and data channel into a unified communication channel. The feature code serves dual purposes: it authenticates the user's identity and simultaneously establishes both voice and data transmission capabilities through a single authentication process, eliminating the need for separate authentication mechanisms for each channel type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The feature code is designed as a universal authentication credential that enables multiple functions: user identification, voice channel establishment, and data channel establishment. This single feature code replaces multiple separate authentication credentials and processes, reducing system complexity while maintaining security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If multiple authentication mechanisms are implemented for voice and data channels, then security is improved, but authentication time and operational complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication securityVSAvoidauthentication time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple authentication steps into a single unified authentication process. The server receives the feature code once and simultaneously validates it for both voice and data channel establishment, eliminating the need for sequential authentication steps and reducing authentication time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The feature code is pre-configured on the terminal device containing all necessary authentication information. This preliminary preparation allows the terminal to perform authentication instantly without requiring multiple back-and-forth verification steps, reducing authentication time while maintaining security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If separate applications are used for voice calls and service data transmission, then channel functionality is maintained, but terminal operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechannel functionalityVSAvoidterminal operation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal communication channel that can handle both voice calls and service data transmission simultaneously through a single application interface. The system automatically routes different types of data through the unified channel based on their nature, eliminating the need for users to manually switch between separate applications while preserving all original functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

4Reliability

If data is transmitted through separate channels, then data integrity is ensured, but network resource efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata integrityVSAvoidnetwork resource efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges voice and data transmission into a single unified channel, allowing both types of communication to share the same network resources simultaneously. This eliminates the need for separate dedicated channels for each communication type, improving network resource utilization efficiency while maintaining data integrity through proper protocol handling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

The present invention discloses an intelligent communications method, terminal, and system, which relates to the field of communications technologies. The method specifically includes: generating a feature code of the first terminal, and generating a voice packet according to the feature code, where the voice packet includes the feature code; sending the voice packet to the second terminal by using the voice channel; sending the feature code of the first terminal to a server, for security authentication, where the security authentication is completed by the server based on the feature code of the first terminal and a received feature code of the second terminal; and establishing a data link channel between the first terminal and the second terminal after the security authentication succeeds. In this way, seamless integration between a voice and a message is achieved, which facilitates effective communication mode in a special case, also simplifies steps of interaction between a terminal system architecture and a mobile terminal network, and avoids repeated authentication.
