Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication technologies, such as Bluetooth and ZigBee, face limitations in spontaneity, require device pairing, and consume significant energy for data sharing among multiple devices, especially in creating complex networks for large numbers of communication devices.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for dynamically establishing an adhoc network among communication devices by converting data into a beyond audible frequency range, generating a temporary identity for broadcasting users, and determining a probabilistic confidence level of received data, while scheduling transmission and detecting preexisting signals to optimize data exchange.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If Bluetooth technology is used for data sharing, then data exchange over short range is enabled, but device pairing is required and network complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata sharing capabilityVSAvoidnetwork complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables devices to automatically discover and join the adhoc network without manual pairing. The broadcasting device automatically transmits data to receiving devices within proximity, and the network dynamically manages connections without requiring users to manually pair devices or configure network parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic network formation where devices can join and leave the network spontaneously based on their proximity and communication needs. The network topology dynamically adapts as devices enter or exit the coverage area, eliminating the need for static pairing configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If multiple communication devices are connected for data sharing, then data exchange capability is improved, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata sharing efficiencyVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The broadcasting device transmits data in periodic bursts rather than continuously maintaining connections with all devices. The system uses intermittent transmission cycles where data is broadcasted at specific intervals, allowing devices to enter low-power states between transmissions while still maintaining effective communication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts the essential data transmission function from complex paired connections, allowing devices to receive data passively within the broadcast range without establishing full dual-directional communication channels. This reduces the energy overhead associated with maintaining multiple active connections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Ease of operation

If temporary identity is generated for broadcasting user, then anonymity is preserved, but authentication complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanonymity preservationVSAvoidauthentication complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system generates temporary, single-use identities for broadcasting users that are discarded after the communication session ends. These disposable identifiers provide sufficient authentication for the duration of the adhoc network operation without requiring complex, long-term authentication mechanisms or persistent identity management systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

AI summary

A system and method for dynamically establishing an adhoc network amongst plurality of communication devices in a beyond audible frequency range is disclosed. The system comprises a first communication device to transmit a quantity of data to a second communication device. The first communication device comprises of an input capturing module to receive the quantity of data from a broadcaster in a format and converts the quantity of data received into a quantity of modulated data, an identity generating module to generate a temporary identity for a broadcasting user. The second communication device then receives the data broadcasted from the first communication device and determines a probabilistic confidence level of the quantity of modulated data. A transreceiver implemented in the first communication device and second communication device transmits and receives the quantity of data in conjugation with the temporary identity within a predefined proximity of each device.
