Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the electronic device maintains data links using multiple frequency bands simultaneously, then communication performance is improved, but device complexity increases due to the need to manage multiple frequency bands and protocols
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic frequency band selection where the electronic device monitors the status of data links on different frequency bands and automatically switches or transitions data links between frequency bands based on real-time availability. This dynamic approach allows the system to maintain optimal communication performance without permanently configuring complex multi-band management, as the complexity is activated only when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the operational parameters of data links by transitioning them between different frequency bands. When a frequency band becomes unavailable, the system modifies the frequency parameter of the data link to switch to an alternative band, thereby maintaining communication performance without requiring permanent complex multi-band infrastructure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the electronic device switches data links to available frequency bands dynamically, then adaptability to frequency band changes is improved, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring frequency band availability increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the electronic device continuously monitors the availability status of frequency bands and uses this information to make real-time decisions about data link transitions. The system receives feedback about frequency band status from the wireless communication module and automatically adjusts data link configurations accordingly, making adaptability achievable without excessive detection complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic device performs self-service by autonomously detecting frequency band availability and managing its own data link transitions without requiring external control or complex measurement infrastructure. The device uses its built-in wireless communication module to monitor and adapt to frequency band changes independently.
3Productivity
If the electronic device maintains continuous data exchange across frequency bands, then productivity of data communication is improved, but the loss of time for scheduling and managing data links increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-establishing data links on multiple frequency bands before they are needed. The electronic device proactively configures alternative frequency band options in advance, so when a frequency band becomes unavailable, the transition can occur immediately without time-consuming detection and setup procedures, thereby maintaining high communication productivity.

AI summary
An electronic device according to various example embodiments includes: at least one wireless communication module comprising wireless communication circuitry configured to support a first communication protocol and a second communication protocol, at least one processor operatively connected to the wireless communication module, and a memory electrically connected to the processor and configured to store instructions executable by the processor. When the instructions are executed by the processor, the processor may, using the wireless communication module, set a schedule for a first data link that uses a first frequency band as the second communication protocol with a first external electronic device, set a schedule for a second data link that uses a second frequency band as the second communication protocol with a second external electronic device, and change the second data link to a third data link that uses a third frequency band and perform communication with the second external electronic device, based on the third frequency band being available due to a termination of the first data link.
