Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If unique terminal identifiers are used for authentication and channel establishment, then data transmission security is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring unique terminal identifiers in the communication module before data transmission begins. The communication module automatically uses these pre-set identifiers for authentication and channel establishment, eliminating the need for complex real-time configuration and reducing operational complexity while maintaining security.
2Reliability
If unique terminal identifiers are used for authentication, then legitimate device communication is ensured, but operational complexities are increased
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling the communication module to automatically perform authentication and channel establishment using the pre-configured unique terminal identifiers. The system serves itself by automatically matching identifiers and establishing channels without requiring manual configuration or complex user operations, thereby ensuring legitimate communication while simplifying ease of operation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If disparate communication technologies are supported in IoT ecosystem, then adaptability is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a communication module that handles multiple communication technologies through a unified interface. The module uses a common authentication mechanism based on unique terminal identifiers that works across different communication protocols and devices, enabling the system to support diverse IoT technologies while maintaining manageable complexity through standardization.
Data Source
AI summary
The present application discloses a method, device, and system for data transmission. The system includes a first terminal having an associated terminal ID and a server. At least one of the first terminal and the server establishes a channel between the first terminal and the server based at least in part on the terminal ID, the channel corresponding to a communication channel that is to be used by the first terminal and the server to communicate data. The terminal ID is used to authenticate the first terminal in connection with the channel being established between the first terminal and the server.
