Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless short-range communication technologies are unable to meet varying data transmission requirements of services, as they can only select one communication method based on preset application requirements, leading to inadequate quality of service at different stages of service delivery.

Innovation Solution

A data transmission method that utilizes a basic application layer, basic service layer, and access layers with multiple data transmission capabilities, allowing for the establishment of a transmission channel group that includes multiple service channels to adapt to changing service requirements, ensuring continuous data transmission even if one channel fails, and switching between channels based on power or quality of service needs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If only one wireless short-range communication technology is selected for connection based on preset application requirements, then the connection can be established with fixed quality of service parameters, but the system cannot meet varying data transmission requirements at different stages of service delivery

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to varying service requirementsVSAvoidcomplexity of communication channel management
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the communication channel into multiple independent service channels (first service channel, second service channel) that can operate simultaneously. Each channel can be independently configured with different quality of service parameters, allowing the system to meet varying service requirements at different stages without increasing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal communication framework that supports multiple wireless short-range communication technologies (first access layer, second access layer) within a single connection. This multi-functional architecture allows the same connection to adapt to different service requirements by selecting appropriate channels, eliminating the need for separate connections for different service scenarios.

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

2Reliability

If multiple service channels are established in the transmission channel group, then the system can adaptively meet different service requirements and maintain transmission reliability, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission reliabilityVSAvoidcomplexity of channel configuration and management
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent establishes multiple service channels in advance as a transmission channel group before actual data transmission begins. This preparatory configuration ensures that appropriate channels are already available when service requirements change or when transmission failures occur, providing redundancy and reliability without requiring complex real-time channel management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a basic service layer as an intermediary between the application layer and access layers. This intermediary automatically manages the selection and configuration of service channels based on service requirements, shielding users from the complexity of multi-channel management while ensuring reliable data transmission through appropriate channel selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Extent of automation

If the basic service layer establishes a transmission channel group with multiple service channels, then the system can automatically adapt to service requirement changes without user intervention, but the control complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic channel adaptationVSAvoidcomplexity of service layer control logic
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables the basic service layer to autonomously manage service channel selection and configuration without requiring user intervention. The service layer automatically monitors service requirements and dynamically selects appropriate channels from the transmission channel group, making the system self-adaptive while maintaining user-friendly operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the basic service layer continuously monitors service requirements and transmission status, then automatically adjusts channel selection based on this feedback. This closed-loop control enables automatic adaptation to changing service conditions while maintaining simple user interaction through the standardized service interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A method is applied to an electronic device. The electronic device includes a basic application layer, a basic service layer, and an access layer, the access layer includes a first access layer and a second access layer, and the first access layer and the second access layer support different data transmission capabilities. The method includes: The basic application layer requests the basic service layer to establish a service channel for a communication service of an application. The basic service layer establishes a transmission channel group for the communication service if the communication service supports multilink transmission. The transmission channel group includes a first service channel and/or a second service channel, the first service channel corresponds to the first access layer, and the second service channel corresponds to the second access layer. The electronic device transmits service data of the communication service based on the transmission channel group.
