Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for identifying heartbeat packet timers are inaccurate, leading to frequent device awakenings and increased power consumption, as they rely on counting timer expiration events without distinguishing between heartbeat packet timers and other timers.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that determine whether a timer is a heartbeat packet timer by analyzing associated data packets and their timing end moments, using pheromone addition and surplus calculations to accurately identify heartbeat packet timers and adjust their timing accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the device counts timer expiration events to identify heartbeat packet timers, then the identification process is simple, but the identification accuracy is low leading to errors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the identification process into multiple stages: first counting timer expiration events, then analyzing associated data packets, and finally determining heartbeat timer status based on multiple criteria. This segmentation allows the system to maintain reasonable complexity while significantly improving identification accuracy through progressive filtering and analysis.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary analysis layer that examines data packets associated with timer expirations. Instead of directly identifying heartbeat timers through simple counting, the system uses intermediate indicators such as data packet transmission patterns, timing intervals, and connection states to mediate the identification process, thereby improving accuracy without excessive complexity.
2Use of energy by stationary object
If the device turns off heartbeat packet timers or increases timing period duration to reduce power consumption, then standby power consumption decreases, but connection link stability may be affected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adjustment of timer settings based on real-time analysis of connection states and data transmission patterns. The system continuously monitors timer expiration events and associated data packets, then adaptively modifies heartbeat timer behavior to balance power consumption and connection stability, rather than using fixed off or extended duration settings.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes key parameters such as timing period duration and timer activation status based on analyzed connection health indicators. By dynamically adjusting these parameters according to actual connection conditions derived from data packet analysis, the system optimizes power consumption while maintaining connection reliability.
3Reliability
If the device frequently awakens to send heartbeat packets due to multiple timers, then connection status monitoring is maintained, but standby power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple timer management functions into a unified analysis framework. By consolidating the monitoring of multiple timers and their associated data packets into a single identification process, the system can coordinate wake-up events, reduce redundant awakenings, and maintain connection monitoring while lowering power consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the analysis results of timer expiration events and data packet patterns are used to adjust future timer behavior. The system learns from observed patterns and provides feedback to optimize wake-up frequency, thereby maintaining reliable connection monitoring while reducing unnecessary awakenings and power consumption.

AI summary
A heartbeat packet timer identification method and a device, where the identification method is performed by a device that sets a timer, and the method includes determining, in a data packet transmitted by the device, each associated data packet corresponding to each timing end moment of the timer and determining, according to each associated data packet and each timing end moment of the timer, whether the timer is a heartbeat packet timer set by the device for transmitting a heartbeat packet. With reference to a data packet transmitted by a device and each associated data packet that corresponds to each timing end moment of a timer, the heartbeat packet timer identification method and the device may determine with relatively high accuracy whether the timer is a heartbeat packet timer.
