Solution Overview

Problem

In mobile communications, users face high operational complexity and increased network traffic when switching between multiple functional interfaces of an application program, as terminals need to frequently download data from servers, leading to inefficient network usage and user inconvenience.

Innovation Solution

A method where access permissions for different functional interfaces are assigned to terminals sharing the same application program account, with data only sent to terminals with the corresponding access permissions, reducing network traffic and simplifying user operations by allowing direct access to relevant interfaces without frequent switching.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the terminal frequently switches between different functional interfaces, then the user can access different functions of the application program, but the network traffic consumption increases and the operational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveaccess to different functional interfacesVSAvoidnetwork traffic consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the functional interfaces into different groups and assigns them to different terminals. When a user wants to access a specific functional interface, the system directs the request to the terminal that has been assigned that interface, rather than requiring the user to switch interfaces on the same terminal. This segmentation eliminates unnecessary data downloads and reduces network traffic consumption.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary mechanism that manages the assignment of functional interfaces to terminals. This intermediary assigns different functional interfaces to different terminals based on user needs, allowing direct access without switching operations, thereby reducing both operational complexity and network traffic consumption.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the terminal switches between different functional interfaces, then the user can access different functions, but the operational complexity increases due to frequent switching operations

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveaccess to different functional interfacesVSAvoidoperational complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments functional interfaces across multiple terminals, assigning specific interfaces to specific terminals. This allows users to access different functions by simply switching devices rather than performing complex switching operations within a single terminal, significantly reducing operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If all terminals receive all functional interface data, then all terminals can access any interface, but the network traffic consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinterface accessibilityVSAvoidnetwork traffic consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the distribution of functional interface data by assigning specific interfaces to specific terminals. Each terminal receives only the data for the interfaces it is assigned to access, rather than all terminals receiving all interface data. This selective data distribution maintains interface accessibility while dramatically reducing network traffic consumption.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies local quality by customizing the data received by each terminal according to its specific assignment. Each terminal receives data tailored to its assigned functional interfaces rather than a universal data set, optimizing network traffic usage while maintaining the necessary adaptability for each terminal's intended function.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality
