Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data update methods in communication systems face inefficiencies and inaccuracies due to the use of universal compression and decompression methods, leading to increased bandwidth consumption and prolonged update times, especially in scenarios where different terminals use varying compression techniques.

Innovation Solution

A data update method involving partial decompression and re-compression of compressed data using specific compression and decompression methods, allowing for accurate determination of differential data without full decompression, thereby improving update efficiency and accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If data is synchronized in real-time across all terminals, then data consistency is improved, but network traffic consumption increases and terminal power is consumed excessively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata consistencyVSAvoidterminal power consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating synchronization strategies based on data types and terminal characteristics. Different terminals receive different synchronization frequencies and data subsets based on their roles (e.g., primary vs. secondary terminals) and data importance, rather than uniform real-time synchronization to all terminals.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements periodic action through scheduled synchronization intervals and batch updates. Instead of continuous real-time synchronization, data is synchronized at predetermined intervals or when specific thresholds are met, reducing network traffic and power consumption while maintaining acceptable consistency levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Loss of information

If data update frequency is increased, then data freshness is improved, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata freshnessVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by updating only the necessary subset of data for each terminal rather than all data. Critical data is updated more frequently while less critical data is updated less frequently, optimizing the balance between data freshness and power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes synchronization parameters dynamically based on data importance, terminal type, and network conditions. Update frequency, data subsets, and synchronization thresholds are adjusted as parameters to optimize both data freshness and power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
