Intermediary Mobile Terminals for Data Transfer Speed
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile data transfer methods experience bottlenecks due to large file sizes and delays in mobile connections, particularly when downloading data over wireless links, which can be frustrating for users.
Innovation Solution
The method involves using intermediary mobile terminals to convey data to a requesting mobile terminal, allowing for the utilization of high-speed data transfer resources and creating multiple logical wireless connections to bypass the typical bottleneck between the mobile terminal and the base station, thereby speeding up data transfer by dividing and routing data through multiple intermediary devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If data is transferred directly from the data source to the mobile terminal via mobile network, then the transfer can be completed through a single connection, but the transfer speed is limited by the mobile connection bottleneck
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces intermediary mobile terminals between the data source and the requesting mobile terminal. These intermediaries receive data from the source and forward it to the destination, effectively bypassing the mobile network bottleneck. The requesting terminal sends a request to intermediaries, which then retrieve and transmit the data, achieving faster transfer speeds while managing complexity through coordinated multi-device communication.
2Productivity
If multiple intermediary mobile terminals are used to convey data, then the data transfer speed increases through parallel connections, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the data transfer task into segments handled by different intermediary mobile terminals. Each intermediary receives a portion of the data request and independently retrieves and transmits data segments. This segmentation enables parallel processing across multiple devices, significantly improving overall transfer efficiency while distributing the complexity burden across the network rather than concentrating it in a single complex system.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a method for transferring data from a data originating device to a first mobile terminal. A request identifying at least part of the required data is defined by the first mobile terminal and sent to at least one intermediary mobile terminal. The intermediary mobile terminal sends to the data originating device a request for transmitting the data requested by the mobile terminal. The received data is transmitted from the intermediary mobile terminal to the first mobile terminal.
