Mobile Device Communication Profile Based on Mobility History
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile communication devices expend unnecessary energy and time attempting to exchange periodic data during regions with poor wireless signal quality, as existing technologies do not effectively consider varying signal conditions in scheduling data exchanges.
Innovation Solution
A mobile communication device system that monitors current movement and past mobility information to determine a communication profile, scheduling data exchanges to minimize communications during projected poor signal quality zones and maximize them during good signal quality zones.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If periodic data exchange is performed based only on time intervals, then data synchronization is maintained, but energy is wasted during poor signal quality regions
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by determining a projected location based on current movement and past mobility information, and processing past performance information to determine a communication profile before actually attempting data exchange. This allows the device to anticipate signal quality conditions and prepare appropriate communication strategies in advance, avoiding wasted energy attempts in poor signal regions while maintaining data synchronization.
2Reliability
If data exchange attempts continue in poor signal quality regions, then data synchronization is maintained, but time is wasted on unsuccessful communications
Solution Approach 1:
The system determines projected location and communication profile in advance, allowing it to identify upcoming poor signal quality regions before attempting data exchange. This preliminary assessment enables the device to skip or delay transmission attempts in predicted poor signal areas, reducing time wasted on unsuccessful communications while still maintaining data synchronization by resuming exchanges when signal quality improves.
3Ease of operation
If communication attempts are made without considering projected location, then communication simplicity is maintained, but signal transmission power is wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile communication device performs self-service by autonomously monitoring its own movement, determining its projected location based on past mobility patterns, and assessing communication conditions without requiring external network control. This self-directed approach allows the device to intelligently adjust its communication behavior and transmit power based on predicted signal quality, reducing energy waste while maintaining operational simplicity from the user perspective.
