Dynamic Waiting Time Duration Setting for Mobile Terminal Data Reception
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In mobile terminals, the fixed waiting time duration for data transmission stages can lead to incorrect data reception due to varying line impedance, causing deviations from the standard time ranges stipulated by the MIPI protocol.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that dynamically determine and store a to-be-used waiting time duration by controlling a target component to send preset data multiple times with different waiting time durations, identifying the maximum and minimum durations for correct data reception, and adjusting accordingly to accommodate line impedance variations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a fixed waiting time duration is used for data transmission, then the device complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but the reliability of data reception deteriorates due to line impedance variations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from a fixed waiting time duration to a dynamic adjustment mechanism. The waiting time is no longer static but is adjusted based on detected signal characteristics (LP-00 stage duration). The processor dynamically modifies the waiting time duration according to actual transmission conditions, allowing the system to adapt to line impedance variations while maintaining reliable data reception.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by modifying the waiting time duration parameter based on detected signal parameters. Specifically, the system measures the duration of the LP-00 stage and uses this information to adjust the waiting time parameter accordingly. This parameter adaptation allows the system to compensate for line impedance variations without increasing overall device complexity.
2Reliability
If the waiting time duration is adjusted to accommodate line impedance variations, then the reliability of data reception is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to additional testing and measurement requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling the system to automatically determine and adjust its own waiting time duration without external intervention. The processor autonomously detects the LP-00 stage duration, calculates the appropriate waiting time, and configures this parameter automatically. This self-configuration process eliminates the need for manual testing and measurement, making the system easier to operate while maintaining high reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback by using the detected LP-00 stage duration as feedback information to adjust the waiting time duration. The system continuously monitors the actual signal characteristics and uses this feedback to optimize the waiting time parameter. This closed-loop approach ensures reliable data reception while automating the configuration process, thereby improving ease of operation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple sample terminals are tested to determine waiting time duration, then the adaptability to different devices is improved, but the loss of time increases due to extensive testing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by performing the waiting time duration determination automatically as part of the initial system setup or first data transmission sequence. Rather than requiring separate, time-consuming testing sessions, the system proactively detects and configures the optimal waiting time during normal operation initialization. This preliminary configuration achieves device-specific optimization without significant time loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables each terminal to automatically determine its own optimal waiting time duration through self-service mechanisms. Each device independently detects its specific signal characteristics and configures appropriate parameters without requiring external testing or calibration. This self-determination approach achieves full adaptability to different devices while eliminating the time loss associated with manual testing of multiple samples.
