Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional methods for game data acceleration on mobile devices face challenges in hijacking traffic from game host devices due to limitations in Android and iOS systems, particularly with VPN programs being independent of network cards and requiring root access, which is not feasible for most models.

Innovation Solution

A method is provided to forge an analog game server using a VPN service component to intercept and forward game traffic, simulating a game server to hijack and accelerate game data by establishing a game data monitoring interface, determining data to be accelerated, and sending it to an acceleration server for processing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If VPN programs are used to accelerate game data, then network performance is improved, but system complexity increases and root access is required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork performanceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a game host device as an intermediary between the mobile terminal and the game server. The game host device establishes a direct connection to the game server and forwards data through the VPN service component, allowing the VPN to accelerate game data without requiring root access on the mobile terminal. This mediator approach resolves the contradiction by enabling VPN functionality without increasing terminal system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the acceleration function into two parts: the VPN service component handles data acceleration and routing, while the game host device manages the connection to the game server. This segmentation allows the VPN to operate at the network level without requiring deep system access on the mobile terminal, thus improving network performance without significantly increasing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If VPN programs hijack traffic from game host devices, then data acceleration is achieved, but compatibility decreases due to root access requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accelerationVSAvoidcompatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The game host device serves as a mediator that enables traffic hijacking without requiring root access on the mobile terminal. The VPN service component communicates with the game host device through standard network protocols, allowing data acceleration to be achieved while maintaining compatibility with non-rooted mobile devices. This resolves the contradiction by decoupling the acceleration function from system-level access requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a virtual copy of the game server through the game host device. Instead of directly hijacking traffic from the actual game server, the system establishes a proxy connection through the game host device, which replicates the server's functionality. This copying approach enables data acceleration while maintaining broad compatibility, as it operates at the network layer rather than requiring deep system integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Productivity

If conventional VPN methods are used, then game data can be accelerated, but ease of operation decreases due to installation complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegame data accelerationVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by allowing the game host device to automatically establish connections and forward data through the VPN service component without requiring manual configuration on the mobile terminal. The system automatically identifies game traffic, routes it through the acceleration server, and maintains connections, thereby achieving data acceleration while simplifying operation for end users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The VPN service component is designed with multi-functionality, handling multiple game types and network conditions through a unified interface. The game host device can serve multiple players simultaneously, and the system automatically adapts to different game protocols, enabling data acceleration across various gaming scenarios without requiring separate configurations for each case.

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