Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple devices transmit HTTP data simultaneously using Bluetooth low energy, then data transmission capability is improved, but transmission errors and device distinction difficulties occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the HTTP transmission process into distinct phases (request phase, response phase) and assigns unique client IDs to each device. This segmentation allows multiple devices to operate in the same Bluetooth low energy environment without interference, resolving the contradiction between improved data transmission capability and increased transmission errors.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the server sends HTTP status codes to client devices, and clients send read requests based on these status codes. This structured feedback loop ensures reliable data exchange even when multiple devices are transmitting simultaneously, maintaining transmission reliability while supporting multiple concurrent connections.
2Productivity
If multiple devices transmit HTTP data simultaneously using Bluetooth low energy, then data transmission capability is improved, but device distinction becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent assigns unique client IDs to each device attempting to transmit HTTP data through Bluetooth low energy. This segmentation of device identification into unique identifiers simplifies the distinction between multiple devices, allowing the system to manage multiple concurrent transmissions without increasing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent establishes client IDs and device distinctions before the actual HTTP data transmission begins. This preliminary action of identifying and distinguishing devices upfront simplifies subsequent data transmission processes, allowing multiple devices to be managed efficiently without complicating the transmission protocol.
3Reliability
If error handling is implemented for simultaneous device transmissions, then transmission reliability is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements error handling where each client device independently monitors its own transmission status by receiving HTTP status codes and sending read requests when needed. This self-service approach to error handling improves transmission reliability without significantly increasing system complexity, as each device manages its own errors autonomously based on the standardized HTTP status code protocol.
Data Source
AI summary
The present invention is related to a method for transmitting and receiving data to and from a web server by using Bluetooth communication in a wireless communication system, comprising receiving a first write request including HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) request-related information from a first client device; transmitting to a web server HTTP request-related information generated on the basis of information included in the received first write request; receiving an HTTP response message in response to the HTTP request-related information from the web server; notifying the first client device of an HTTP status code indicating the status of data included in the received HTTP response message; and receiving a read request requesting data transmission on the basis of information included in the HTTP status code from the first client device, wherein, in case a second write request is received from a different client device while the first write request is being received, an error response is transmitted to the different client device.
