Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data transmission systems between master and slave devices in mobile devices cannot instantaneously detect and correct errors during high-speed transmission, leading to unnecessary power consumption and restricted application range due to inability to adaptively switch between transmission modes.
Innovation Solution
A data transmission system and method that includes a master device with a control module generating a control signal based on feedback from a slave device's decoding condition, allowing adaptive switching between high-speed and low-power transmission modes to ensure correct data reception and decoding, while minimizing power usage and waiting periods.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If high speed transmission mode is used to increase data transmission rate, then transmission speed is improved, but power consumption increases and error detection capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between high speed transmission mode and low power transmission mode based on real-time decoding conditions. The master device monitors feedback signals from the slave device and adjusts the transmission mode accordingly, making the system adaptable rather than static in its operational characteristics
Solution Approach 2:
The slave device sends feedback signals to the master device to indicate decoding conditions. The master device uses this feedback information to determine when to switch between transmission modes, enabling closed-loop control that optimizes both speed and power consumption based on actual transmission quality
2Speed
If high speed transmission mode is used to increase data transmission rate, then transmission speed is improved, but error detection and correction capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The feedback mechanism enables the master device to monitor decoding conditions and detect errors in real-time. When decoding errors are detected through feedback signals, the system can switch to low power transmission mode for retransmission, providing error detection and correction capabilities
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses its own feedback signals to monitor and correct transmission errors. The slave device's feedback about its decoding status allows the master device to self-diagnose transmission quality and take corrective action by switching modes or requesting retransmission
3Reliability
If transmission mode switching is added to adapt to decoding conditions, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The feedback signal serves multiple functions: it indicates decoding status, triggers mode switching decisions, and enables error correction. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated components for each function, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The feedback mechanism integrates monitoring, decision-making, and control functions into a unified system. By using existing feedback signals for multiple purposes, the system achieves reliable adaptive switching without requiring entirely new complex hardware architectures

AI summary
A data transmission system is utilized in a Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI). A master device includes a control module for generating a control signal according to a feedback signal. A packet encoding module is coupled to the control module for encoding an original packet to be a transmission packet according to the original packet and the control signal to process a transmission operation. A slave device includes a packet decoding module for decoding, the transmission packet to be the original packet or a related display device signal corresponding to the original packet to a display device. A feedback module is coupled to the packet decoding module for generating the feedback signal to the control module of the master device according to a decoding condition of the control module, so as to switch a transmission mode of the transmission operation.
