Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data transmission technologies face challenges in achieving high efficiency and stability when simultaneously transmitting data streams and data packets through a shared interface, particularly in real-time communications, where high reliability and low latency are required.

Innovation Solution

The method involves separately packetizing data streams and data packets, prioritizing data stream transmission, and interrupting data packet transmission to ensure real-time data stream delivery, with restoration of data packet transmission upon completion of the data stream.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If data stream and data packet are transmitted simultaneously through one interface, then the interface can handle both real-time data and control signals, but transmission reliability deteriorates due to conflicts between the two data types

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface capability to handle both data stream and data packetVSAvoidtransmission reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The transmission interface is segmented into two distinct channels: a data stream channel for real-time continuous transmission and a data packet channel for controlled transmission. This segmentation allows both data types to coexist without interfering with each other, maintaining transmission reliability while preserving interface versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A data packet introduction mechanism acts as an intermediary between the data packet channel and the data stream channel. This intermediary manages the interaction between the two channels, ensuring that data packet transmission does not disrupt the continuous data stream transmission, thus maintaining reliability while enabling both transmission modes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of time

If data packet transmission is interrupted to prioritize data stream transmission, then data stream latency is reduced, but data packet transmission efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata stream latencyVSAvoiddata packet transmission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-managing data packet transmission states and maintaining readiness to resume transmission. When data stream transmission requires priority, the data packet transmission is temporarily suspended with its state preserved, allowing quick resumption without complete retransmission, thus reducing the impact on overall efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The transmission system dynamically adjusts between data stream priority mode and data packet normal mode based on real-time requirements. The data packet introduction mechanism dynamically manages the switching and resumption of data packet transmission, optimizing the balance between data stream latency and data packet transmission efficiency under different conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
