Dual-Communication Device Primary Selection for Metaverse Sync
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In a metaverse environment, devices accessing the server through different network operators or types of communication (cellular vs. short-range) face varying data transmission and reception capabilities, leading to asynchronous user experiences due to differing wireless communication environments.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device equipped with both short-range and cellular communication capabilities determines a primary device for data transmission and reception based on comparison of information exchanged with external devices, using a processor to manage data transfer through either short-range or cellular communication depending on the determined primary device.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If devices access the metaverse server using different cellular data communication networks, then device connectivity and access capability are improved, but data transmission stability and consistency deteriorate due to varying network environments and operator support
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a multi-functionality approach by enabling devices to use multiple communication methods (short-range communication and cellular communication) to access the metaverse server. The system can dynamically switch between different communication pathways based on network conditions, ensuring both broad adaptability across different networks and reliable data transmission through optimal path selection.
2Adaptability or versatility
If devices use different communication methods (short-range or cellular) to access the metaverse server, then access flexibility is improved, but data transmission consistency deteriorates due to varying network qualities and capabilities
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by implementing dynamic path selection where the system continuously evaluates network conditions and automatically switches between short-range and cellular communication pathways. This dynamic adaptation ensures that data transmission consistency is maintained regardless of which communication method is currently optimal, while preserving access flexibility across different network environments.
3Productivity
If the system selects a primary device for data transmission based on network quality, then data transmission efficiency is improved, but device selection complexity increases due to comparison and determination processes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling devices to autonomously evaluate their own network capabilities and automatically determine primary device status without requiring complex centralized coordination. Each device can independently assess its communication quality and negotiate with peer devices, simplifying the overall system architecture while maintaining efficient data transmission through capability-based selection.
