Network Control Optimization System Dynamic Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems lack the ability for digital service providers and users to manage and control the last mile connectivity route, leading to suboptimal user experience and increased costs due to the exponential load on internet infrastructure in densely concentrated areas.
Innovation Solution
A network control and optimization system (NCO) is embedded in computing devices, allowing digital service providers and users to customize network usage based on data transfer requirements and cost preferences, enabling simultaneous use of Wi-Fi and cellular data connections, prioritizing networks based on throughput and cost, and switching between them dynamically.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the OS automatically selects connectivity routes based on available options, then the device can maintain basic connectivity, but the digital service provider and user cannot control or optimize the network usage based on service requirements and cost preferences
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a network control and optimization (NCO) system as an intermediary layer between the device OS and the network infrastructure. This NCO system includes a service provider component and a user component that work together to manage connectivity routes, allowing controlled access to network resources while maintaining device functionality. The NCO system acts as a mediator that translates service requirements and user preferences into actionable network routing decisions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the connectivity management functionality into distinct components: the device OS handles basic connectivity operations, while the NCO system handles optimization and control. This segmentation allows each component to focus on specific tasks, with the NCO system providing specialized network management capabilities without requiring complete redesign of the device OS.
2Productivity
If all data traffic is routed through the internet infrastructure in densely concentrated areas, then universal access is maintained, but the load on existing infrastructure increases exponentially, affecting user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic network routing that can adapt connectivity paths based on real-time conditions. The NCO system monitors network load, service requirements, and user preferences, then dynamically selects optimal routing paths. This allows the system to switch between standard internet infrastructure routing and alternative direct peer-to-peer routing modes, optimizing data delivery efficiency while preventing infrastructure overload.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the routing parameter from fixed internet infrastructure routing to variable routing that can select between multiple paths. The NCO system adjusts routing parameters based on service type, data priority, and network conditions, enabling efficient data delivery by selecting appropriate paths that prevent infrastructure congestion while maintaining reliable user experience.
3Loss of energy
If the OS prioritizes Wi-Fi over cellular data connection, then cost savings are achieved, but services requiring high throughput may experience degraded performance when Wi-Fi is unavailable or slow
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables dynamic changing of network selection parameters based on service requirements and user preferences. The NCO system can switch between cost-optimized routing (prioritizing Wi-Fi) and performance-optimized routing (prioritizing cellular data or alternative paths) depending on the specific service being accessed. This allows the system to adapt transmission parameters in real-time, balancing cost and throughput requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic network selection that can adjust connectivity priorities based on real-time conditions. The NCO system monitors service performance requirements and user preferences, then dynamically adjusts which network connection is prioritized. This allows the system to switch between cost-saving mode (Wi-Fi priority) and performance mode (cellular data priority) as needed, rather than using a static prioritization scheme.
4Adaptability or versatility
If digital service providers have no control over connectivity routes, then device simplicity is maintained, but providers cannot optimize service delivery or manage user costs based on service nature and data requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces the NCO system as an intermediary that provides service providers with network control capabilities without requiring changes to the device OS. The service provider component of the NCO system can specify routing preferences and service requirements, which are then translated into actionable network routing decisions by the NCO system, maintaining device simplicity while enabling provider control.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal NCO system that can serve multiple functions: it provides service provider control over routing, implements user cost preferences, optimizes service delivery, and maintains device simplicity. This multi-functional system allows a single architecture to address various service delivery optimization needs across different digital services without requiring service-specific customizations.
