Mobile Device Data Exchange Protocol Optimization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Modern telecommunication systems face challenges in efficiently processing and transmitting data due to the separation of data input and processing tasks between mobile devices and backend servers, leading to high latency and power consumption, especially when using a unidirectional request-response protocol.
Innovation Solution
A method for a mobile telecommunication device that selects and inputs data into a graphical user interface, sends requests to a backend server for processing, and receives only updated data contents, minimizing data transfer by using metadata to determine dependent data fields and bundling requests, thereby reducing the amount of data exchanged.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the smartphone requests all possible results from the backend server to avoid missing relevant processing results, then the reliability of data processing is improved, but the transmission latency and power consumption increase considerably
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and transmits only the specific data fields that have changed or are relevant to the user's request, rather than transmitting the entire data structure. This selective extraction reduces transmission data volume while ensuring all necessary information is conveyed, resolving the contradiction between reliability and latency.
Solution Approach 2:
The data structure is segmented into individual data fields, allowing the system to identify and transmit only the relevant segments (changed fields) rather than the complete data structure. This segmentation enables selective data transmission that maintains reliability while reducing latency and power consumption.
2Reliability
If the smartphone requests all possible results from the backend server to avoid missing relevant processing results, then the reliability of data processing is improved, but the power consumption increases considerably
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the necessary data fields that contain changes or relevant information from the backend server response, rather than receiving and processing the entire data structure. This reduces the amount of data the smartphone must process and display, thereby reducing power consumption while maintaining result completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
By segmenting the data structure into individual fields and identifying only those that have changed, the smartphone minimizes the processing workload. This selective processing approach reduces energy consumption while ensuring all relevant results are captured.
3Device complexity
If the smartphone uses a unidirectional request-response protocol for communication with the backend server, then the device complexity is reduced, but the efficiency of data exchange deteriorates when large amounts of data must be transmitted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies extraction to identify and transmit only the specific data fields that have changed or are relevant to the current operation. This maintains the simplicity of the request-response protocol while dramatically improving data exchange efficiency by reducing the volume of data that must be transmitted and processed.
