Solution Overview

Problem

Current frame synchronization systems in games are inefficient in weak network environments, leading to network delays and packet loss, which negatively impact user experience due to the lack of optimization for such conditions.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that predict downlink network congestion trends based on received data frames, adjust the report time interval of uplink data frames accordingly, and transmit them to a server, thereby optimizing data transmission in weak network environments to reduce delays and packet loss.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If the transmitting frequency of the server is reduced to control network congestion, then network congestion is reduced, but network delay increases and operations cannot be sent out in a timely manner

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork congestionVSAvoidnetwork delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adjustment of the report time interval based on predicted downlink network congestion trends. The client terminal continuously monitors downlink data frame congestion conditions, predicts future congestion trends, and dynamically adjusts the uplink report time interval accordingly. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to optimize between congestion control and timely operation transmission, resolving the contradiction between reducing network congestion and maintaining low network delay.

2Reliability

If the transmitting frequency is reduced to reduce packet loss, then packet loss is reduced, but system delay increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs preliminary action by predicting downlink network congestion trends before they fully manifest. The client terminal analyzes historical downlink data frame congestion conditions and uses prediction algorithms to anticipate future congestion states. Based on these predictions, the system proactively adjusts the report time interval in advance, preventing packet loss during congestion events while maintaining timely operation transmission during normal conditions, thus resolving the contradiction between reliability and system delay.
