Solution Overview

Problem

In areas with dense traffic, such as subways and shopping malls, weak WIFI and mobile communication network signals disrupt smooth internet connectivity for mobile devices, leading to poor user experiences for various applications.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a method and apparatus for application-based data interaction that involves establishing a first channel between a mobile device and a networking device, and a second channel between the networking device and an application server, allowing for selective opening of both channels to ensure uninterrupted data interaction, particularly for preset applications like payment or instant messaging tools.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If public WIFI is deployed to solve weak signal problems, then network coverage is improved, but security risks increase and data interaction experience deteriorates due to congestion

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork connectivityVSAvoidsecurity risk
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a dedicated networking device as an intermediary between the mobile device and application server. This device establishes separate channels: a first channel between the mobile device and networking device, and a second channel between the networking device and application server. The networking device acts as a mediator that enables secure and reliable data interaction without relying on public WIFI infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If public WIFI is deployed to solve weak signal problems, then network coverage is improved, but data interaction experience deteriorates due to large number of connected devices

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork coverageVSAvoiddata interaction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data interaction path into two separate channels. The first channel handles communication between the mobile device and networking device, while the second channel handles communication between the networking device and application server. This segmentation allows dedicated resource allocation and avoids congestion that occurs when multiple devices share a single public WIFI network.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If dual channels are established for data interaction, then data interaction reliability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata interaction reliabilityVSAvoidchannel management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements automatic channel selection and management mechanisms. The system automatically determines whether to use the first channel, second channel, or both channels based on network conditions and application requirements. This self-service approach reduces manual configuration complexity while maintaining reliable data interaction through appropriate channel selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for application-based data interaction are provided. One of the methods may be implemented by a networking device. The method may include: receiving a data interaction request through a first channel between a mobile device and the networking device; establishing a second channel for data interaction with a server; determining whether the data interaction request is associated with a preset application; and in response to the determination that the data interaction request is associated with the preset application, opening the second channel.
