Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional Bluetooth chip receives all data from one device first and then transmits to another device, then data transmission between different communication protocols is achieved, but data transmission efficiency deteriorates due to inability to perform synchronous transmission

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission efficiencyVSAvoiddata transmission time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The Bluetooth device dynamically switches between transmitting mode and receiving mode based on communication requirements. The processing circuit controls the Bluetooth chip to operate in different modes, enabling flexible establishment of communication links with multiple peripheral devices using different communication protocols, thereby achieving efficient data transmission without being constrained by fixed operational modes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The communication process is segmented into distinct transmitting mode and receiving mode operations. The processing circuit separates the management of different communication protocols by handling them in different operational modes, allowing simultaneous establishment of multiple communication links with different peripheral devices, thus improving overall data transmission efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If Bluetooth chip operates in single mode (transmitting or receiving), then operational simplicity is maintained, but capability to establish multiple communication links with different protocols deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecapability to establish multiple communication linksVSAvoidoperational mode management
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The Bluetooth chip is designed with multi-functionality to operate in both transmitting mode and receiving mode. The processing circuit universally manages different communication protocols by controlling the chip's operational mode, enabling a single device to adaptively establish communication links with multiple peripheral devices using different protocols without requiring separate dedicated hardware for each protocol

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

AI summary

A Bluetooth device used for data transmission between first and second peripheral devices is provided. The Bluetooth device includes a processing circuit and a Bluetooth chip configured to be capable of being operated in a transmitting mode and a receiving mode for data transmitting and data receiving, respectively. In the transmitting mode, a first communication link is established between the Bluetooth chip and the first peripheral device through a first communication protocol. The processing circuit establishes a second communication protocol. In the receiving mode, a second communication link is established between the Bluetooth chip and the second peripheral device through a third communication protocol. The second peripheral device transmits a data to the Bluetooth chip through the second communication link and the Bluetooth chip transmits, based on the second communication protocol, the received data to the first peripheral device through the first communication link simultaneously.
