Solution Overview

Problem

When a mobile terminal simultaneously transmits files and plays music via Bluetooth, data packet loss occurs due to music playback priority, leading to frequent file transmission timeouts, requiring manual retransmission.

Innovation Solution

The method involves establishing a Bluetooth connection, detecting concurrent music playback, negotiating a longer file transmission timeout period if music is playing, and dynamically adjusting the timeout based on music playback status to prevent interruptions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the mobile terminal uses Bluetooth to transmit files and play music simultaneously, then the Bluetooth connection is utilized for multiple functions, but data packet loss occurs due to music playback priority causing file transmission timeout

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveBluetooth multi-function usageVSAvoidFile transmission success rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent dynamically adjusts the file transmission timeout period based on whether music playback is detected. When music playback is active, the timeout period is extended to accommodate potential packet loss, while when music is not playing, the timeout period remains at its default shorter value. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction by adapting the transmission parameters to the current operational state.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the timeout period parameter based on the detection of music playback status. By monitoring whether music is being played and adjusting the timeout period accordingly (extending it when music is playing, keeping it short when music is not playing), the system resolves the conflict between multi-function usage and transmission reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If the mobile terminal prioritizes music playback over file transmission, then music quality is maintained, but file transmission is interrupted requiring manual retransmission

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveMusic playback qualityVSAvoidFile transmission time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the timeout period based on music playback status. When music is detected to be playing, the timeout period is extended to prevent transmission interruption, allowing file transmission to complete successfully even during music playback without requiring manual retransmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the system continuously monitors music playback status and adjusts the timeout period accordingly. This feedback loop ensures that the timeout period is appropriately extended when music is playing and reduced when it is not, automatically resolving the conflict without user intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
