Innovation Solution
A communication system that includes a streaming information reception unit and an address information transmission unit, allowing for the interception of streaming information by multiple devices using a single connection, thereby reducing the need for multiple one-to-one links and minimizing resource usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple one-to-one Bluetooth connections are established for streaming to multiple devices, then information can be transferred to multiple machines, but transfer delay occurs and resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple one-to-one communication links into a single group communication link. The audio source machine establishes one Bluetooth connection with the base machine, and the base machine relays audio data to client machines within the group. This combining of communication paths eliminates the need for multiple separate connections, reducing transfer delay and improving information transfer efficiency to multiple devices simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The base machine acts as an intermediary between the audio source machine and client machines. Instead of direct one-to-one connections, the base machine receives audio data from the source and distributes it to multiple clients within the group. This intermediary approach reduces the communication burden on the audio source machine and enables efficient multi-device streaming without proportional increases in resource consumption.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple one-to-one Bluetooth connections are established for streaming to multiple devices, then streaming communication with multiple audio receiver machines is enabled, but CPU processing speed and memory resources increase in proportion to the number of counterpart machines
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple communication sessions into a single group session. The audio source machine maintains one Bluetooth connection with the base machine regardless of how many client machines are in the group. The base machine handles the distribution of audio data to multiple clients, thereby merging the communication burden and preventing CPU and memory resources from increasing proportionally with the number of connected devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The base machine serves multiple functions: it acts as an audio receiver, a relay station, and a group manager. By making the base machine universal and multi-functional, the system enables streaming to multiple devices without requiring the audio source machine to establish and manage multiple separate connections, thus reducing the proportional increase in resource consumption.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple one-to-one Bluetooth connections are established for streaming to multiple devices, then communication with multiple audio receiver machines is achieved, but the complexity of link processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual link management tasks into a single group management process. The base machine manages the group of client machines and handles link establishment, maintenance, and termination for all clients collectively. This merging reduces the complexity of link processing compared to managing multiple separate one-to-one connections, as the base machine handles distribution and coordination centrally.
4Productivity
If Bluetooth one-to-one communication is used for transmitting data to multiple counterpart machines, then data transfer is possible, but it is unsuitable for performing streaming communication only to counterpart machines in a group
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the communication system into distinct roles: the audio source machine generates and transmits audio data, the base machine receives and manages the group of client machines, and the client machines receive audio data within the group. This segmentation enables the system to achieve both data transfer capability and group streaming communication capability, as each segment performs its specialized function efficiently.
Solution Approach 2:
The base machine serves as an intermediary that enables group streaming communication. It receives audio data from the source machine and distributes it to multiple client machines within the group, thereby making Bluetooth one-to-one communication suitable for group streaming scenarios. The intermediary structure allows the system to maintain compatibility with Bluetooth's one-to-one protocol while achieving multi-device streaming functionality.
