Solution Overview

Problem

Existing Bluetooth technologies face challenges in efficiently transmitting and receiving data, particularly in scenarios requiring high reliability and low latency, such as human interface device (HID) data transmission.

Innovation Solution

The method involves forming an isochronous channel for transmitting HID data between devices, with the channel configuration based on data characteristics such as reliability and urgency, and incorporating a data retransmission mechanism to ensure reliable data transfer.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If Bluetooth BR/EDR method is used for data transmission, then transmission speed is improved, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission speedVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent dynamically selects between ACL and ISO channels based on data characteristics (reliability requirements and urgency). For time-sensitive data requiring high speed, ISO channels provide dedicated bandwidth. For non-time-critical data, ACL channels reduce energy consumption. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction between speed and energy efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Use of energy by moving object

If ACL channel is used for data transmission, then energy consumption is reduced, but transmission reliability for time-sensitive data deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy consumptionVSAvoidtransmission reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different channel qualities to different data types. Time-sensitive data (e.g., gaming input, AR/VR synchronization) is transmitted through ISO channels with guaranteed bandwidth and timing. Non-time-critical data uses ACL channels for energy efficiency. This local differentiation of transmission quality resolves the contradiction between energy consumption and reliability for specific data types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Speed

If isochronous channel is configured with high burst number, then data transmission speed is improved, but channel configuration complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission speedVSAvoidchannel configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent adjusts ISO channel parameters (burst number, sub-events) based on data characteristics. For high-speed requirements, it increases burst number and configures appropriate sub-events. The system automatically optimizes these parameters based on traffic patterns, reducing manual configuration complexity while maintaining high transmission speeds when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Reliability

If data retransmission is implemented for high reliability, then transmission reliability is improved, but transmission latency increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission reliabilityVSAvoidtransmission latency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic retransmission strategies where the number of retransmission attempts and timing are adjusted based on data characteristics. For critical data, limited retransmissions are permitted within strict time windows. For non-critical data, retransmissions are minimized or eliminated. This dynamic approach resolves the contradiction between reliability and latency by applying retransmission only where necessary and within acceptable time constraints.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
