Solution Overview
Problem
High-speed communication systems face significant transmission delays, particularly over long distances, which disadvantage companies in global financial transactions and other latency-sensitive applications compared to local competitors.
Innovation Solution
A communication system that combines optical fiber communication with low delay wireless communication, utilizing a low earth orbit satellite or ionosphere propagation path to select the most appropriate transmission path based on the type of information and generate transaction interruption signals when predetermined conditions are met, ensuring quick and efficient data transfer.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If optical fiber communication is used, then communication capacity is ensured, but transmission delay increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between optical fiber communication and wireless communication paths based on real-time conditions. The communication control unit monitors transmission requirements and automatically selects the optimal path, making the system adaptive rather than static. This resolves the contradiction by allowing the system to use optical fiber for high capacity when needed and wireless for low delay when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the transmission medium parameter from fixed (either optical fiber or wireless) to variable. By adjusting the selection between different communication paths based on information type and transmission requirements, the system optimizes both capacity and delay parameters. Different refractive indices of optical fibers are also considered to minimize delay while maintaining capacity.
2Loss of time
If wireless communication is used, then transmission delay is reduced, but communication capacity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between optical fiber communication and wireless communication paths based on real-time conditions. The communication control unit monitors transmission requirements and automatically selects the optimal path, making the system adaptive rather than static. This resolves the contradiction by allowing the system to use optical fiber for high capacity when needed and wireless for low delay when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention segments the communication information into different types (time-sensitive vs. non-time-sensitive) and routes them through different paths. Critical time-sensitive information uses wireless paths for low delay, while non-critical information uses optical fiber for high capacity. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by matching information requirements with appropriate transmission characteristics.
3Device complexity
If a single communication path is used, then system complexity is reduced, but adaptability to different information types decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The communication control unit serves multiple functions: it classifies information types, determines optimal paths, controls switching between paths, and monitors transmission conditions. This multi-functionality allows the system to handle diverse information types (financial transactions, gaming data, general communication) through a single unified control mechanism, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and adaptability.
