Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication devices, such as telephones, mobile phones, and interphones, are not economical or convenient for high-frequency communication within a certain range, especially in scenarios like industrial parks or family settings, due to their cost, size, and limited duplex capabilities.
Innovation Solution
A communication method that constructs a target group of devices, determines priorities, and allocates transmission time slots to enable efficient and economical full-duplex communication using the ISM 2.4 GHz frequency band, avoiding channel collisions and interference.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Weight of moving object
If telephone, mobile phone, or WeChat is used for long-distance communication, then communication distance is unlimited, but continuous call charges or data traffic fees must be paid
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the communication spectrum into multiple frequency points (16 frequency points in the 2.4GHz ISM band) and divides communication into time slots, creating a structured shared communication medium that eliminates per-call charges while maintaining continuous availability through resource allocation
Solution Approach 2:
The communication device is designed to perform multiple functions: it can operate as a group communication device, establish one-to-one connections, and function as a wireless router, providing versatile communication capabilities without requiring separate paid services for different communication modes
2Ease of operation
If interphone is used for half-duplex voice communication, then communication cost is reduced, but it only supports half-duplex communication and requires pressing PTT button
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic time-slot-based transmission where each device has allocated time windows for transmitting and receiving signals. This periodic structure enables automatic full-duplex communication without requiring manual PTT button pressing, as the system automatically switches between transmit and receive modes according to the predetermined time schedule
Solution Approach 2:
The communication device automatically manages its own transmission and reception operations based on pre-configured time slots and frequency points, eliminating the need for manual intervention. The device self-regulates its communication behavior, including automatic frequency selection, time-slot synchronization, and signal transmission/reception switching
3Volume of moving object
If interphone uses open ISM 430-470 MHz frequency band, then communication cost is reduced, but the device becomes bulky due to large antenna
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the operating frequency parameter from the traditional 430-470 MHz band to the 2.4 GHz ISM band. This frequency change allows for significantly smaller antenna dimensions while maintaining communication effectiveness, as higher frequencies enable smaller wavelength and thus smaller antenna structures, reducing device bulkiness
4Productivity
If multiple devices communicate simultaneously on the same frequency, then communication efficiency is improved, but air collision phenomena increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments both the frequency spectrum and time domain into discrete units (16 frequency points and multiple time slots). By assigning different frequency-time combinations to different devices or communication groups, the system enables simultaneous communications while preventing signal collisions through structured resource allocation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces multiple dimensions for resource allocation: frequency dimension (16 different frequency points) and time dimension (multiple time slots). This multi-dimensional resource space allows numerous devices to communicate simultaneously without interference, as each device operates in a uniquely assigned frequency-time slot combination
