Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Transmission of large data attachments over wireless networks is bandwidth-intensive, costly, and power-consuming, often causing communication devices to freeze and reducing battery life, while receiving devices may reject oversized attachments without user knowledge.

Innovation Solution

The method involves detecting large attachments and substituting them with addresses of external storage copies, allowing retrieval at the receiving device, thus reducing bandwidth and power consumption, and ensuring attachments comply with size limits.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If large data attachments are transmitted over wireless networks, then data transfer capability is improved, but bandwidth consumption increases and transmission cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transfer capabilityVSAvoidbandwidth consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The attachment is uploaded to external storage before the communication transaction occurs. The system performs the data transfer action in advance, storing it on a server or cloud storage, so that the actual communication only involves transmitting a reference link rather than the full attachment data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The attachment data is extracted from the communication device and stored externally on a separate storage system. This separates the large data payload from the communication protocol, allowing the message to be transmitted with only a reference to the external storage location.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Productivity

If large data attachments are transmitted over wireless networks, then data transfer capability is improved, but power consumption increases and battery life decreases

AI summary

A method and communication device for processing data for transmission from the communication device to a second communication device is provided. It is detected that the data comprises an attachment. An address of a copy of the attachment is determined, the attachment present on a storage device external to the communication devices. An address of the copy of the attachment is substituted in the data such that the copy is retrievable at the second communication device via the address. The data is then transmitted to the second communication device.
