NFC IP Address Exchange for Mobile Communication Efficiency
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile communication methods lack an efficient way to transmit and receive Internet Protocol (IP) address information between devices using Near Field Communication (NFC) schemes, which limits the functionality of mobile devices in short-range communication applications.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that utilize NFC to transmit and receive IP address information, allowing mobile devices to connect to communication networks and execute communication applications by identifying and providing IP addresses between devices connected through different communication schemes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If mobile devices use NFC for short-range communication, then communication efficiency within short distance is improved, but the ability to exchange IP address information for network communication is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines NFC short-range communication capabilities with IP address exchange functionality into a unified communication system. The mobile device integrates both NFC module for proximity detection and communication module for network communication, allowing simultaneous execution of both functions through a single integrated apparatus.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism where the communication module acts as a bridge between NFC and network communication. The NFC module triggers the communication module to exchange IP address information, serving as an intermediary that connects short-range NFC interaction with long-range network communication.
2Adaptability or versatility
If mobile devices integrate multiple communication modules, then communication functionality is enhanced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements multi-functionality by designing the communication module to handle both NFC-triggered IP address exchange and general network communication tasks. The same communication module serves multiple purposes: exchanging IP addresses via NFC initiation, maintaining network connections, and executing communication applications, thereby reducing the need for separate dedicated hardware for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring the communication module with network connection capabilities before NFC interaction occurs. The device establishes network connectivity and prepares IP address exchange mechanisms in advance, so that when NFC triggers the communication function, the infrastructure is already in place, reducing the need for complex real-time configuration.
