Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary identification of the peripheral device type before data encoding. By determining the device identity in advance and selecting appropriate encoding parameters beforehand, the system ensures high data rates are allocated to devices that require them, rather than being constrained by real-time CPU capacity measurements.

Inventive Principle:
