Dual Wi-Fi Connection Control via Frequency Band Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Dual Wi-Fi connections are limited by resource conflicts and frequency band interference, which hinder network acceleration and lead to network delays and inefficiencies in concurrent work scenarios.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a Wi-Fi communication module detects resource conflicts between access points and releases connections when conflicts are detected, allowing it to switch to alternative access points with different frequency bands, enabling efficient multiplexing and maintaining dual Wi-Fi connectivity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If dual Wi-Fi connections are established on the same frequency band, then concurrent network access capability is improved, but resource conflicts and interference occur leading to network delays
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the Wi-Fi connections by frequency bands, allowing the electronic device to establish dual Wi-Fi connections on different frequency bands (e.g., 2.4GHz and 5GHz) simultaneously. This segmentation avoids resource conflicts and interference that occur when both connections operate on the same frequency band, thereby maintaining network stability while enabling concurrent access capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces frequency band as an additional dimension for Wi-Fi connection management. Instead of attempting concurrent connections on the same frequency (one-dimensional approach), the system transitions to a multi-dimensional approach by utilizing different frequency bands, allowing dual connections to coexist without interference and resolve resource conflicts.
2Reliability
If time-division multiplexing is used for dual Wi-Fi connections on the same frequency band, then resource conflicts are avoided, but concurrent work advantages are invalidated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments Wi-Fi connections by frequency bands rather than time slots. By assigning different frequency bands to different Wi-Fi connections, the system enables true concurrent operation without the need for time-division multiplexing, thereby maintaining both resource conflict avoidance and concurrent work efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from time-based resource allocation (time-division multiplexing) to frequency-based resource allocation. This dimensional change allows dual Wi-Fi connections to operate simultaneously on different frequency bands, preserving concurrent work advantages while avoiding resource conflicts through frequency separation.
3Speed
If the electronic device maintains dual Wi-Fi connections, then network acceleration is improved, but resource conflicts cause network delays
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different frequency band characteristics to different Wi-Fi connections. Each connection operates on a frequency band optimized for its specific requirements, allowing the device to maintain dual connections for network acceleration while avoiding resource conflicts that cause delays through frequency-specific optimization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent resolves the speed-delay contradiction by introducing frequency band as an additional dimension. This allows the system to maintain dual Wi-Fi connections for network acceleration while operating on different frequency bands to avoid resource conflicts, thereby achieving both high speed and minimal network delay simultaneously.
