Solution Overview

Problem

Current Internet of Things data transmission technologies fail to accurately determine data loss or confusion during transmission, leading to incomplete data processing and storage issues, as the server cannot reliably assess data reception status, resulting in errors and data loss.

Innovation Solution

The proposed solution involves transmitting data and unique identify information from a terminal to a server, with the server sending response signals to confirm data reception, allowing both the terminal and server to determine data transmission status and enabling retransmission or storage of failed data, ensuring complete data preservation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If data is transmitted from terminal to server without confirmation mechanism, then transmission speed is improved, but data integrity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission speedVSAvoiddata integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the server sends confirmation signals back to the terminal to indicate whether data was successfully received. This allows the terminal to verify data transmission status and retransmit if necessary, resolving the contradiction between fast transmission and reliable delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses unique identify information attached to each data packet as a preliminary action. This identifier is processed by the server to generate confirmation signals, enabling the terminal to track which data was received before deleting local copies, thus ensuring data integrity without slowing transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Quantity of substance

If terminal deletes data after sending to server, then storage capacity is improved, but data loss risk increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage capacityVSAvoiddata safety
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal only deletes data after receiving confirmation signals from the server indicating successful receipt. This feedback-based deletion strategy allows the terminal to free up storage space while ensuring that deleted data was actually received, eliminating the risk of premature deletion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical assumption that 'sent equals received' with an information-based confirmation system. The server's identification and confirmation process substitutes for physical verification, allowing safe deletion based on digital confirmation rather than physical data retention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Reliability

If server increases signal transmission strength to avoid loss, then signal quality is improved, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal qualityVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the verification function from the data transmission process itself. Instead of embedding verification data within each transmission, the system separates identification information from the main data payload, allowing efficient processing and confirmation without increasing transmission energy requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The server performs self-service by automatically generating confirmation signals based on received data identifiers. This automated process eliminates the need for complex acknowledgment protocols, maintaining energy efficiency while ensuring reliable data reception verification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

4Productivity

If server processes data without knowing reception status, then processing speed is improved, but error rate increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoiddata accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent attaches unique identify information to data packets as a preliminary action before transmission. The server uses these identifiers to automatically generate confirmation signals, enabling it to know which data was received before processing. This preliminary identification ensures processing accuracy without slowing down the overall workflow.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
