Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If data is transmitted through mobile networks using conventional methods, then data communication is achieved, but the transmission is vulnerable to malware and spam embedded in media files

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity of data transmissionVSAvoidmalware and spam interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses media content (audio, video, or image files) as an intermediary carrier to transmit digital data. Instead of directly transmitting data through vulnerable network channels, the data is embedded within media files that serve as a safe medium, preventing malware and spam from being directly injected into the transmission channel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces conventional electronic data transmission mechanisms with a hybrid approach combining media content delivery and signal processing. Data is encoded into media files and transmitted through standard media channels, then extracted and decoded at the receiving end, substituting direct network data transmission with a media-based transmission system.

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

2Reliability

If digital data is embedded in media content using encoding and modulation, then secure data communication is achieved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity of data communicationVSAvoidcomplexity of encoding and demodulation system
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs universal encoding and modulation techniques that can be applied across different media types (audio, video, image). The same core methodology of embedding data into media content and using RF modulation works across multiple platforms and file formats, reducing the need for specialized complex systems for each media type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs data encoding and embedding into media content before transmission. By preparing the data in advance and embedding it within the media structure, the complex processing is done upfront, allowing the transmission phase to use standard media delivery channels without requiring real-time complex processing during transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

The embodiments herein disclose an apparatus and method especially developed for the direct application in transmission involving user devices with some computational potential, allowing data transmission between two devices in a secure manner using media content. The method for the transmission of data between two devices comprises the following steps: receiving a digital data and a media content as input, encoding the digital data, embedding the digital data into a media content, modulating the data using radio frequency (RF) signals, transmitting the modulated RF signals, capturing the modulated RF signals by the receiver module, demodulating the modulated RF signal to obtain an encoded media content and decoding the media content for recovering the digital data.
