Solution Overview

Problem

Wireless peer-to-peer networks lack mechanisms for efficient rejection and cancellation of request messages, leading to delays and inefficiencies due to the need for user intervention and timeout periods, which can impact overall communication efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A status control mechanism is implemented in peer-to-peer systems that allows for the rejection and cancellation of request messages, enabling direct communication between devices without the need for user input and reducing waiting times by using status code control attribute information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If wireless peer-to-peer networks use decentralized architecture for direct device communication, then user convenience and flexibility are improved, but control measures for message transfer efficiency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidmessage transfer efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where receiving devices send status control information back to requesting devices to indicate whether requests are rejected or cancelled. This feedback loop enables efficient control in decentralized P2P networks by allowing devices to immediately communicate their response status without waiting for timeouts or user intervention, thus resolving the contradiction between decentralized operation and message transfer efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces status control information as an intermediary mechanism that mediates communication between P2P devices. This intermediary carries rejection and cancellation status between devices, enabling controlled message transfer efficiency in decentralized networks without requiring centralized control or prolonged user intervention

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If timeout periods and user intervention are used for request rejection and cancellation, then device control is improved, but communication delays increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice controlVSAvoidcommunication delays
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by implementing automatic rejection and cancellation mechanisms that act before timeout periods expire. Devices are pre-configured to automatically send status control information when requests should be rejected or cancelled, eliminating the need to wait for timeout periods and removing the requirement for user intervention, thus reducing communication delays while maintaining reliable device control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If status control mechanism is implemented for request rejection and cancellation, then message transfer efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage transfer efficiencyVSAvoidcontrol mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by designing a multi-functional status control information structure that handles both rejection and cancellation operations within a single unified mechanism. This universal approach allows the same status control framework to manage multiple types of request terminations, improving message transfer efficiency without proportionally increasing device complexity through separate specialized mechanisms for each function

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are directed to a first peer-to-peer (P2P) enabled device configured to wirelessly transmit a first request message and a second P2P-enabled device configured to wirelessly receive the first request message. In response to receiving the first request message, the second P2P-enabled device wirelessly transmits a second request message to the first P2P-enabled device, and if the first request message is rejected by the second P2P-enabled device, the second request message includes status control information indicating that the first request message is rejected. In addition, if the first request message is to be cancelled, the first P2P-enabled device transmits another request message to the second P2P-enabled device with status control information indicating that the first request message has been cancelled.
