Solution Overview

Problem

User devices often deactivate 5G capabilities due to poor network experiences, leading to suboptimal configuration settings even when returning to areas with strong 5G coverage, which reduces the adoption of advanced services like VoNR and VoWiFi.

Innovation Solution

A system and method to identify user devices with modified wireless communication technology configurations and instruct them to operate using an optimized configuration by analyzing performance data and device capabilities, dynamically managing configurations to enhance user experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If user devices deactivate 5G capabilities due to poor network experiences, then device reliability is improved, but network experience and service penetration are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice reliabilityVSAvoidnetwork experience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously monitors network performance metrics (throughput, latency, signal strength) and device configuration states, then feeds this information back to dynamically adjust device settings. When a device deactivates 5G due to poor experience, the system detects this through performance data and automatically restores optimized 4G/5G configurations when conditions improve, creating a closed-loop feedback mechanism that resolves the contradiction between reliability and network experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The device configuration is made dynamic rather than static. The system automatically adjusts wireless communication technology settings (4G/5G selection, voice over WiFi enablement) based on real-time network conditions and device capabilities. This dynamic adaptation allows devices to switch between configurations optimally, maintaining both reliability and network experience without manual user intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Stability of the object's composition

If user devices remain in modified configuration after poor network experience, then device stability is maintained, but adaptability to improved network conditions is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice stabilityVSAvoidadaptability to network conditions
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of network conditions, device capabilities, and performance metrics before making configuration changes. By proactively identifying when a device should be in a particular configuration state based on predicted network quality and device needs, the system prepares optimal settings in advance, then executes transitions smoothly when conditions change, maintaining stability while enabling rapid adaptation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The device configuration management operates autonomously without requiring user input or manual settings changes. The system self-monitors network performance, self-diagnoses configuration optimality, and self-adjusts wireless settings automatically. This self-service capability allows the device to adapt to changing network conditions independently while maintaining stable operation, resolving the contradiction between stability and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If manual configuration modification is allowed by users, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of configurationVSAvoidconfiguration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides self-service configuration management that automatically handles complex wireless settings without user intervention. Users simply select their preferred communication mode (e.g., enable/disable WiFi), and the system manages the underlying complexity of 4G/5G selection, voice over WiFi configuration, and network optimization autonomously. This eliminates the need for users to manually configure complex parameters while maintaining ease of operation through simple high-level controls.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
