Hotspot Terminal Wireless Resource Allocation for Data Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods fail to enable data sharing between devices when no external network access point is available, limiting the ability to connect and share data via services like microblogs and cloud-based services.
Innovation Solution
A wireless-enabled device can create a hotspot, broadcasting its identifier to allow other devices to connect to a network, enabling data sharing even without an external network access point, using its wireless resources to act as a network access point for other devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a terminal relies on external network access points for data sharing, then data sharing services can be accessed when external networks are available, but data sharing becomes impossible when no external network access point is available
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a mediating terminal that acts as an intermediary between the network and other terminals. This terminal establishes a wireless connection with the external network and creates a hotspot to serve as a bridge, enabling other terminals to access the network indirectly when direct access points are unavailable.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables a terminal to perform multiple functions: it can both connect to external networks as a regular device and serve as a network access point for other devices. By activating hotspot functionality, a single terminal becomes a multi-functional device that can provide network access to multiple other terminals simultaneously.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a terminal creates a hotspot to enable network access without external access points, then data sharing becomes possible in isolated environments, but additional wireless resource allocation and configuration complexity are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automatic hotspot configuration where the terminal system automatically allocates wireless resources, generates network identifiers, and configures connection parameters without requiring manual user intervention. The system self-manages the hotspot creation process, reducing configuration complexity for users.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary wireless resource allocation and hotspot configuration in advance, before other terminals need to connect. The system proactively sets up the network access point, assigns network parameters, and prepares the connection environment beforehand, simplifying the overall process.

AI summary
Methods and systems for facilitating data sharing are provided. The method can include a hotspot terminal allocating at least one wireless resource based on a hotspot ID obtained from a hotspot creation interface and broadcasting the hotspot ID; at least one data-sharing terminal connecting to the hotspot terminal using the hotspot ID, the data-sharing terminal capable of sharing data; when receiving a first data from the data-sharing terminal, the hotspot terminal transmit the first data to a data-sharing application server using the at least one wireless resource allocated to the hotspot ID; when receiving a second data transmitted from the data-sharing application server, the hotspot terminal broadcast the second data to the at least one data-sharing terminal using the at least one wireless resource allocated to the hotspot ID. The can allow a user to create a hotspot on a terminal to connect to a network to facilitate data share when no network access point is available.
