Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile terminals store a large number of unused network access points, leading to redundant information and decreased performance due to inefficient network management.
Innovation Solution
A method for periodically cleaning network access points by presetting a cleaning time, acquiring and comparing latest connection times to identify long-term idle access points, and deleting them to reduce redundant data and improve terminal speed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the mobile terminal automatically records and connects to wireless networks, then the ease of operation is improved, but the quantity of stored network access points increases leading to redundant information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automatic deletion of long-term idle network access points based on connection time thresholds. The system discards unused access points that exceed a predetermined idle time period, thereby reducing the quantity of stored access points while maintaining automatic connection functionality for actively used networks.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs periodic cleaning mechanisms that automatically evaluate and remove idle access points at scheduled intervals. This periodic action maintains the automatic connection feature while systematically reducing accumulated redundant data over time.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the mobile terminal stores a large number of network access points, then the adaptability is improved, but the productivity decreases due to increased processing time
Solution Approach 1:
By removing long-term idle access points, the system reduces the total number of stored networks, which directly decreases processing time during network searches and selections, thereby improving terminal running speed while preserving adaptability to frequently used networks.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and removes only the idle portion of the access point database, separating useful frequently-connected networks from redundant ones. This selective extraction maintains network adaptability for active connections while eliminating the performance burden of processing unnecessary data.
3Reliability
If the mobile terminal maintains all recorded network access points, then the reliability is improved for reconnection, but the loss of information increases due to redundant data occupying storage
Solution Approach 1:
The system selectively discards redundant idle access points while preserving reliable connection information for actively used networks. This approach reduces storage waste from redundant data while maintaining reconnection reliability for networks that are actually needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the storage parameter by dynamically managing access point retention based on usage patterns. Networks transitioning from frequent use to long-term idle status undergo parameter changes in their retention state, being automatically removed when they exceed the idle threshold, thus optimizing storage efficiency.
