Solution Overview

Problem

Current portable data carriers face limitations in data transmission rates when processing and returning large amounts of data, particularly in applications like digital television, where real-time data display is required, due to the constraints of existing interfaces.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a method that utilizes multiple interfaces for data communication between a portable data carrier and a data processing device, allowing data to be received via one or more receiving interfaces and sent back via one or more transmitting interfaces, thereby increasing the overall data transmission rate by aggregating the rates of individual interfaces.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a single interface is used for data communication between the data carrier and the data processing device, then the device complexity is low, but the data transmission rate is insufficient for processing large amounts of data in real-time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission rateVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The data communication path is segmented into multiple independent interfaces. The data carrier and data processing device each implement multiple separate interfaces (e.g., first interface and second interface) that operate in parallel, allowing data to be transmitted through multiple channels simultaneously, thereby increasing overall throughput without requiring a single complex high-speed interface

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The data carrier is designed with multi-functional capability to support multiple interface types simultaneously. Each interface can handle data communication independently, and the system can dynamically select or combine interfaces based on data volume and speed requirements, providing universal adaptability for different data transmission scenarios

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

2Loss of time

If data is received and processed sequentially through a single interface, then the device complexity is low, but the time required to process and return large amounts of data is excessive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing timeVSAvoidcommunication device complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple interfaces enable continuous data flow without interruption. While data is being received through one interface, processed data can simultaneously be transmitted back through another interface, eliminating idle waiting time and maintaining continuous productive action throughout the data processing cycle

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The system prepares multiple communication paths in advance before data transmission begins. The data carrier and data processing device are pre-configured with multiple interfaces ready to operate, allowing immediate parallel data exchange without sequential setup delays

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If a single interface is used for both receiving and transmitting data, then the device complexity is low, but the data transmission rate for bidirectional communication is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebidirectional data transmission rateVSAvoidinterface configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The communication architecture transitions from a single-dimensional sequential interface to a multi-dimensional parallel interface structure. Data can flow in multiple directions simultaneously through different interfaces, adding spatial dimensionality to the data transmission paths and enabling concurrent bidirectional communication

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
