Data Unit Pre-Transmission for Intermittent Playback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data transmission and provision methods are prone to monotony and interruptions, requiring continuous real-time data transmission, which leads to inefficient data handling and potential disruptions due to climatic or geographical obstacles.
Innovation Solution
A method involving the storage of data units on a user device with a predetermined sequence and time allocation table, allowing for varied data provision and playback without continuous real-time transmission, enabling playback even in the absence of a permanent data connection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If real-time data transmission is used to provide data to user devices, then data can be provided continuously and updated, but the bandwidth requirements increase significantly and transmission interruptions can occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-transmitting data units and their associated order information to user devices before actual playback occurs. The base device sends data units with embedded order indicators in advance, allowing user devices to store and later playback data without requiring continuous real-time transmission. This resolves the contradiction by reducing ongoing bandwidth requirements while maintaining reliable data provision through pre-positioned content.
2Adaptability or versatility
If random sequencing is used to avoid monotony in data playback, then variety is improved, but data units that do not harmonize stylistically or rhythmically are played consecutively
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by embedding order indicators within data units that encode multiple attributes including stylistic compatibility, rhythmic characteristics, and sequence position information. Instead of simple random sequencing or fixed predetermined sequences, the system dynamically selects and orders data units based on these encoded parameters, achieving both variety and harmonic quality through intelligent parameter-based sorting and selection algorithms.
3Ease of operation
If predetermined playback sequences are programmed on the base device or user device, then data can be played back in a harmonious sequence, but the user must manually program sequences and the same audio files are always presented in a recurring sequence
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling user devices to autonomously determine playback sequences using order indicators embedded in the data units themselves. Rather than requiring manual programming by users or fixed predetermined sequences, the system allows devices to self-organize and self-playback data based on the embedded ordering information, achieving both harmony through intelligent sequencing and variety through dynamic reordering capabilities.
4Reliability
If data is transmitted in real-time from broadcasting station to receiver, then data can be provided continuously, but transmission interruptions due to climatic influences or geographical obstacles disrupt playback
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-transmitting complete data units with embedded order information to user devices before playback is needed. This allows data to be stored locally on user devices, eliminating dependence on continuous real-time transmission and making playback immune to transmission interruptions caused by climatic influences or geographical obstacles. The data is provisioned in advance and can be played back reliably without ongoing connection requirements.

AI summary
The method involves storing data units, an order sequence and a time assignment chart of a basic unit (110), in a user device (120). Time of a day and a date of a user clock attached to the user device are read out, and the time of the day and an operating time assigned to the date are determined based on the time assignment chart. The data units are allocated based on the order sequence, where the data units are assigned to the operating time. The data units are encrypted before transmission to the user device. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a device for transmitting and allocating data (2) a computer program product comprising instructions to perform a method for transmitting and allocating data.
