Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional wireless communication technologies lack effective network management, leading to inefficient use of radio resources and inconvenience, as they do not adapt networking modes based on the specific requirements of applications.

Innovation Solution

A device and method that add a type field to user equipment applications to determine the appropriate networking mode based on application type information, allowing for selection between third-party auxiliary and non-auxiliary transmission modes, optimizing resource usage and security according to application needs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If network management is performed by the application in conventional technology, then application-specific networking requirements can be met, but radio resources are wasted and convenience is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication-specific networking adaptabilityVSAvoidradio resource efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a network management entity as an intermediary between applications and the network infrastructure. This entity receives application type information, determines appropriate networking modes, and manages resource allocation centrally, preventing direct application-controlled resource waste while maintaining adaptability through the mediation layer

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If a single networking mode is used for all applications, then system complexity is reduced, but resource utilization and security are optimized insufficiently

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetworking mode simplicityVSAvoidresource utilization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of networking mode selection based on application type information. Different application types (real-time, bulk transfer, security-sensitive) trigger different networking parameters and modes, allowing the system to maintain simple operation for users while achieving optimized resource utilization through parameter adaptation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of operation

If application type information is collected and processed, then appropriate networking mode selection is enabled, but system complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic mode selection convenienceVSAvoidnetwork management system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by having applications declare their type information in advance before actual data transmission begins. The network management entity processes this information beforehand to pre-determine the appropriate networking mode, eliminating the need for complex real-time decision-making during data transfer and simplifying the overall system operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
