Solution Overview

Problem

Existing network connection methods for electronic devices fail to consistently maintain high network quality, particularly in situations where motion and changing network conditions affect signal stability.

Innovation Solution

A method that determines the motion section and rate of an electronic device when accessing a mobile data network, estimates a target network rate based on these factors, and connects to a target wireless network if the rate falls below a preset threshold, utilizing link aggregation and historical usage records to optimize network access.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the electronic device continues using mobile data network in motion scenarios, then network coverage is maintained, but network quality deteriorates due to motion-induced signal instability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork qualityVSAvoidmotion-induced signal instability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by determining motion section and motion rate before network quality deteriorates, estimates target network rate in advance, and proactively switches to target wireless network before the mobile data network becomes inadequate, preventing quality degradation rather than reacting to it

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system establishes a feedback loop by continuously monitoring motion parameters (motion section, motion rate), estimating target network rate based on these parameters, and using this feedback to dynamically determine whether to switch networks, creating a closed-loop control system that adapts to changing motion conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If the electronic device switches to target wireless network based on motion detection, then network quality improves in motion scenarios, but device complexity increases due to additional network switching mechanisms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork qualityVSAvoidnetwork switching mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes operational parameters by transitioning from static network selection to dynamic network selection based on motion parameters (motion section, motion rate, target network rate), using parameter changes to simplify the decision-making process while maintaining improved network quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces motion parameters (motion section, motion rate) as intermediary variables that mediate between the physical state of the device and the network selection decision, creating a simplified intermediate layer that translates complex motion states into clear network switching decisions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
