Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data transmission systems do not effectively share data received from terminals to provide functions like gain control or noise detection across the entire system, limiting the ability to utilize received data for system-wide operations.

Innovation Solution

A data transmission device that sends and receives packets with separate slots for output and input data, allowing the controller to generate input data based on output data from terminals and share it system-wide, enabling functions such as gain control and noise detection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the primary terminal sends only individual output data to secondary terminals, then data transmission is simple, but the system cannot share received data to provide functions like gain control or noise detection across the whole system

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem-wide function provisionVSAvoiddata transmission structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The packet data structure is segmented into distinct slots: a first slot for individual output data and a second slot for input data. This segmentation allows the system to separately handle individual terminal data and system-wide shared data, enabling functions like gain control and noise detection across the whole system while maintaining clear data organization and transmission protocols

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The second slot in the packet is designed to carry input data that can be used by any terminal in the system for various functions such as gain control, noise detection, and other signal processing operations. This universal data sharing mechanism allows the same data structure to support multiple system-wide functions simultaneously

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system shares data across all terminals, then system-wide functions can be provided, but communication load increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata sharing capabilityVSAvoidcommunication load
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges individual output data and system-wide input data into a single packet structure with designated slots. By combining these data types in one transmission unit, the system reduces the number of separate communication transactions needed, thereby lowering overall communication load while still providing comprehensive data sharing for functions like gain control and noise detection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Speed

If separate data transmission for each terminal is used, then communication is straightforward, but real-time system-wide signal processing cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time processing speedVSAvoiddata transmission protocol
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The packet structure is pre-configured with dedicated slots for individual output data and system-wide input data before transmission occurs. This preliminary organization of data pathways enables the controller to immediately process and distribute data to appropriate terminals without requiring complex runtime data routing decisions, thereby achieving real-time signal processing while maintaining a relatively simple transmission protocol

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A data transmission device and a data transmission system that can share data generated based on data received from each terminal, and update the shared data in the operation of the system are provided. The data transmission device sends and receives a packet to and from the terminal connected thereto via a communication network and the packet includes a first slot in which individual output data to be output from the terminal is stored and a second slot in which input data to be input to the terminal is stored. The data transmission device includes a sending part that sends the packet to the terminal, a receiving part that receives the packet sent to the terminal, and a controller that generates the input data based on output data including the individual output data stored in the first slot and stores the input data in the second slot.
