Solution Overview

Problem

Card-based mobile phones require manual user intervention to match the transmission interfaces of communication and processing modules, leading to reduced data transmission speed due to mismatched interfaces, which is inconvenient and limits overall performance.

Innovation Solution

A mobile communication equipment with a primary module and a secondary module that automatically switches to the appropriate transmission interface by exchanging inquiry and reply instructions via dedicated pins, allowing the processing unit to select the optimal transmission unit for efficient data transfer.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual user intervention is used to match transmission interfaces, then interface compatibility is achieved, but data transmission speed is reduced and user convenience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoiddata transmission speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic interface matching without user intervention. The processing unit automatically inquires about the secondary module's transmission interface capabilities and selects the appropriate transmission unit based on the reply, enabling the system to serve itself rather than requiring manual user configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary inquiry actions before actual data transmission. The processing unit sends inquiry instructions to detect the secondary module's interface capabilities in advance, then configures the appropriate transmission interface before data transfer begins, ensuring optimal speed from the start.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Speed

If high speed transmission interface is used in communication module, then communication capability is improved, but interface compatibility deteriorates when processing module has low speed interface

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication speedVSAvoidinterface compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adapts the transmission interface speed based on the secondary module's capabilities. The processing unit can switch between high speed and low speed transmission units depending on what the connected module supports, making the interface configuration dynamic rather than fixed, thus achieving both high speed capability and broad compatibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the transmission speed parameter based on detected module capabilities. By inquiring about the secondary module's interface parameters and adjusting the transmission speed accordingly, the system optimizes communication speed for each specific connection while maintaining compatibility across different module types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Speed

If automatic interface detection is implemented, then data transmission speed is optimized, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission speedVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The processing unit performs multiple functions: it both processes data and automatically detects interface capabilities. The switching unit also serves dual purposes by routing both data and inquiry signals. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated components, minimizing added complexity while enabling automatic speed optimization.

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

AI summary

An auto-accelerated method is applied to a mobile communication equipment. The mobile communication equipment includes a primary module and a secondary module with a specific communication pattern including a transmission interface. The primary module sends out an inquiry command to inquire the transmission interface corresponding to the secondary module. The secondary module sends out a reply command to answer the inquiry command. According to the reply command, the primary module turns a switch inside the primary module to reach a transmission unit corresponding to the transmission interface of the secondary module. After the switching, the data transmission is made through between the primary module and the secondary module.
