Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for network state identification in electronic devices are inefficient, as they rely on conventional methods that do not accurately assess the communication state, leading to suboptimal network selection and user experience.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device that identifies the state of a transport protocol, such as TCP, to determine its communication state and change networks accordingly, using a processor with a communication module, memory, and specific algorithms to classify states as good, poor, blocked, or sluggish, enabling dynamic network adaptation.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional network state identification methods are used, then the network selection process is simple, but the accuracy of communication state assessment is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments network state identification into multiple protocol layers (physical layer, data link layer, network layer, transport layer) and analyzes specific parameters at each layer. This segmentation enables comprehensive communication state assessment by examining individual protocol states separately and collectively, improving measurement precision without overwhelming system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a multi-dimensional analysis approach by evaluating network state across different protocol layers simultaneously. Instead of relying on a single metric, it considers physical layer signal quality, data link layer connection status, network layer IP configuration, and transport layer TCP/UDP states, creating a comprehensive multi-dimensional communication state profile.
2Productivity
If transport protocol state analysis is implemented, then network state identification efficiency is improved, but the processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary analysis of transport protocol states (TCP connection states, UDP port states) before making network selection decisions. By pre-evaluating protocol layer states and storing them for reference, the system prepares communication state data in advance, enabling faster and more accurate network state identification when needed without excessive processing complexity during critical decision moments.
