Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments network traffic into different categories (e.g., real-time interactive, streaming, background traffic) based on traffic descriptors and route selection descriptors. This segmentation enables differentiated resource allocation and transmission path selection for each traffic category, improving network resource management efficiency while maintaining manageable system complexity through structured classification.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic traffic classification and route selection based on real-time network conditions and traffic characteristics. The system dynamically adjusts transmission paths and resource allocation according to changing network states, enabling efficient resource management without requiring overly complex static configurations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

If dynamic traffic classification is implemented to optimize data transmission paths, then data transmission performance is improved, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent pre-configures traffic descriptors and route selection descriptors before actual data transmission occurs. Classification rules and transmission paths are established in advance based on network conditions and traffic types, enabling quick decision-making during data transmission without requiring complex real-time analysis, thus reducing processing time while maintaining high transmission performance.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that monitor network conditions and traffic characteristics in real-time. Based on this feedback, the system dynamically adjusts classification and routing decisions to optimize performance. The feedback loop enables continuous improvement of transmission paths while keeping processing overhead manageable through intelligent decision-making algorithms.

Inventive Principle:

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple data transmission paths are established for different traffic categories, then network flexibility and adaptability are improved, but device complexity and path management overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments network functionality into distinct traffic categories, each with dedicated transmission paths and resource allocation. This segmentation approach provides network flexibility by allowing independent optimization of each traffic type while managing complexity through clear separation of concerns and standardized classification criteria.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a universal traffic classification framework that can handle multiple traffic types through a common set of descriptors and routing mechanisms. This multi-functional approach enables network flexibility across different traffic categories while avoiding the need for separate specialized systems, thereby reducing overall management complexity.

Inventive Principle:
