LOW-POWER RCS COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17959673 titled 'LOW-POWER RCS COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device that can support multiple SIM cards and perform capability exchange with external devices to activate or deactivate specific functions. Here are the key points:
- The device has a wireless communication circuit, a processor, multiple SIM cards, and a memory.
- The memory stores instructions that allow the processor to acquire subscriber identification information from the SIM cards.
- A matching map is generated to compare the RCS (Rich Communication Services) functions supported by the different SIM cards.
- The device searches for a match between the subscriber identification information from the SIM cards using the matching map.
- If there is no match, the device performs capability exchange with an external device to activate the RCS functions for the first SIM card.
- If there is a match, the device checks if the capability exchange result for the second SIM card is stored.
- Based on the capability exchange result, the device determines whether to activate or deactivate the RCS function supported by the first SIM card.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Multi-SIM smartphones or devices that can seamlessly switch between different SIM cards.
- Improved user experience by automatically activating or deactivating specific functions based on the SIM card being used.
- Enhanced communication capabilities by leveraging RCS functions supported by different SIM cards.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Simplifies the management of multiple SIM cards by automatically determining which functions should be activated or deactivated.
- Enables seamless switching between different SIM cards without the need for manual configuration.
- Provides a more efficient and streamlined communication experience for users.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved convenience and flexibility for users with multiple SIM cards.
- Enhanced communication capabilities by leveraging the specific functions supported by different SIM cards.
- Simplified management of SIM cards and their associated functions.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device may include a wireless communication circuit, a processor operatively connected to the wireless communication circuit, multiple SIMs, and a memory operatively connected to the processor. The memory may store instructions which, when executed, may cause the processor to: acquire first subscriber identification information and second subscriber identification information from the multiple SIMs; generate a matching map in which RCS functions supported b the first subscriber identification information and the second subscriber identification information are compared; search for whether the first subscriber identification information and the second subscriber identification information are matched to each other, by using the matching map; when the first subscriber identification information and the second subscriber identification information are not matched to each other, perform capability exchange with an external electronic device for the first subscriber identification information by using the wireless communication circuit; when the first subscriber identification information and the second subscriber identification information are matched to each other, search for whether a result of capability exchange for the second subscriber identification information is stored in the second subscriber identification information; and determine whether to activate or deactivate an RCS function which can be supported by the first subscriber identification information on the basis of the result of the capability exchange for the second subscriber identification information.
