Solution Overview

Problem

The current beam connection establishment process in PC VR technology is complex and troublesome, leading to poor user experience due to the need for traversing beam positions to find optimal signal, which slows down the data communication process.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that determine the location of a user's device, transmit and control a first beam to directly point to the user's location, receive a second beam with an optimal signal determined by beam scanning, and establish a beam connection based on this position, improving beam matching speed and user experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If beam scanning is performed to find optimal signal position, then reliable beam connection is established, but beam matching speed is slow and process is complicated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebeam connection reliabilityVSAvoidbeam matching time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary beam scanning to identify the optimal beam position in advance, stores this information, and reuses it for subsequent connections. This preliminary action eliminates the need for repeated full scanning processes, significantly reducing beam matching time while maintaining connection reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses the beam position information obtained from scanning as a template or copy for future beam connections. Instead of performing complete scanning each time, the system references the stored optimal position data, copying the successful configuration to establish new connections rapidly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Measurement precision

If beam scanning is performed to determine optimal beam position, then optimal signal alignment is achieved, but the process becomes complex and troublesome

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebeam position accuracyVSAvoidbeam connection process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs the complex beam scanning operation once in advance to accurately determine the optimal beam position, then stores this result. Subsequent connections simply reference this pre-determined position, maintaining measurement precision while dramatically simplifying the operational process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If traditional beam scanning method is used to establish beam connection, then connection is established, but user experience is poor due to slow speed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebeam connection establishmentVSAvoidbeam matching speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs beam position identification in advance and caches the results. When a new connection is needed, it retrieves the cached position information rather than performing full scanning, thereby maintaining reliable connection establishment while significantly improving beam matching speed and user experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method for establishing a beam connection includes determining, by a first device, a location of a first part of a user; transmitting and pointing a first beam to the location of the first part; receiving a second beam transmitted by a second device; and establishing a beam connection based on the second beam position. The second beam is sent based on a second beam position, and the second beam position is a beam position with an optimal signal determined by the second device according to a beam scanning based on the first beam.
