AUTOMATIC CONNECTION CONTROLLER, AUTOMATIC CONNECTION CONTROL METHOD, AUTOMATIC CONNECTION CONTROL PROGRAM AND AUTOMATIC CONNECTION CONTROL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18037078 titled 'AUTOMATIC CONNECTION CONTROLLER, AUTOMATIC CONNECTION CONTROL METHOD, AUTOMATIC CONNECTION CONTROL PROGRAM AND AUTOMATIC CONNECTION CONTROL SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a user terminal that can wirelessly connect to a router to communicate with an upper network, and can also communicate with another network via a mobile line. An Optical Network Unit (ONU) generates a disconnection notification when congestion is detected in the PON (Passive Optical Network) communicating with the upper network, and generates a connection notification when the congestion is resolved. The router stores the user terminal that can communicate with another network, and disconnects and attempts reconnection with the user terminal based on the generated notifications.

• User terminal can wirelessly connect to a router for communication with an upper network.
• User terminal can also communicate with another network through a mobile line.
• ONU generates disconnection notification when congestion exceeds a reference in the PON.
• ONU generates connection notification when congestion is resolved.
• Router stores user terminals that can communicate with another network.
• Router disconnects and attempts reconnection with user terminals based on notifications.

Potential Applications

• This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems where user terminals need to connect to different networks.
• It can be used in smart homes or IoT (Internet of Things) devices that require seamless connectivity between different networks.
• It can be utilized in mobile devices that need to switch between Wi-Fi and cellular networks.

Problems Solved

• The technology solves the problem of congestion in the PON by generating notifications to disconnect and reconnect user terminals.
• It addresses the issue of seamless connectivity between different networks for user terminals.
• It helps in managing network resources efficiently by detecting and resolving congestion.

Benefits

• Users can experience uninterrupted communication by seamlessly switching between different networks.
• The technology improves network performance by detecting and resolving congestion in the PON.
• It enhances the overall user experience by automatically reconnecting user terminals when congestion is resolved.

Original Abstract Submitted

A user terminal - can wirelessly or preferentially connect to a router to communicate with an upper network , and can communicate with another network via a mobile line. An ONU generates a disconnection notification in a case where congestion exceeding a reference is recognized in the PON communicating with the upper network , and generates a connection notification when the congestion is resolved. The router stores the user terminal - that can communicate with another network among the user terminals - to - being connected. In addition, the router disconnects the connection with the user terminal - that can communicate with another network when the disconnection notification is generated, and attempts reconnection with the user terminal - that has been disconnected when the connection notification is generated.
