Innovation Solution

A multi-state ground and space communication system comprising fixed base stations, mobile communication vehicles, and satellites, each equipped with a communication platform server, that dynamically switches between communication modes based on status signals and employs intelligent data synchronization mechanisms to maintain uninterrupted communication.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If fixed terrestrial infrastructure is used, then reliable communication services are provided under normal circumstances, but the system becomes vulnerable during natural disasters or emergencies

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecommunication service reliabilityVSAvoidsystem adaptability to emergency situations

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically switches between fixed base station mode and mobile communication vehicle mode based on operational status signals. This dynamic reconfiguration allows the system to adapt from a stable fixed infrastructure to a mobile emergency response system, resolving the contradiction between reliability under normal conditions and adaptability during emergencies

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The communication system is designed to perform multiple functions: it operates as a fixed base station system during normal conditions and transforms into a mobile communication vehicle system during emergencies. This multi-functionality enables the same system to provide reliable communication both in stable and disaster scenarios

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If mobile base stations are used for emergency communication, then temporary communication services are provided, but integration with satellite networks is lacking

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveemergency communication capabilityVSAvoidnetwork integration complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges mobile base station functionality with satellite network capabilities into an integrated communication platform. The mobile communication vehicle combines terrestrial mobile communication with satellite communication resources, creating a unified system that provides both emergency response capability and satellite network integration

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Area of stationary object

If pure satellite communication systems are used, then extensive geographical coverage is provided, but high costs and large communication delays occur

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvegeographical coverage areaVSAvoidcommunication delay

Core Design Contradiction:

Area of stationary objectVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses mobile communication vehicles as intermediary nodes between satellite networks and end users. These vehicles receive satellite signals and retransmit them through local communication networks, reducing the communication delay that would occur if users directly communicated with satellites while maintaining extensive geographical coverage

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Reliability

If communication systems lack intelligent data synchronization, then simple architecture is maintained, but data consistency under different circumstances cannot be ensured

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata consistencyVSAvoidsynchronization mechanism complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements intelligent data synchronization mechanisms that monitor communication status and automatically adjust data synchronization strategies. Feedback loops detect changes in operational mode (fixed vs. mobile) and trigger appropriate synchronization protocols, ensuring data consistency across different communication states without requiring complex manual configuration

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A multi-state ground and space communication system and method thereof and a communication platform server are provided. The system includes a plurality of communication devices, fixed base stations, mobile communication vehicles, and satellites, wherein each fixed base station, mobile communication vehicle, and satellite is equipped with a communication platform server. The system determines whether the current state is a first state period or a second state period based on externally transmitted status signals, and selects communication modes accordingly. During the first state period, communication devices communicate through the communication platform server of the fixed base station; during the second state period, communication devices communicate through the communication platform server of the mobile communication vehicle or satellite.
