Processing Systems Automatic Connection Protocol
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for connecting computer processing systems require user interaction and consume significant power, making it difficult for devices to establish connections without manual intervention, especially in emergency or natural disaster situations where infrastructure may be unavailable.
Innovation Solution
The method involves assigning processing systems to groups that cycle through advertiser, listener, and sleep states using offset time periods, allowing them to connect automatically and conserve energy by minimizing unnecessary listening or advertising.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If conventional connection methods are used, then connections can be established between processing systems, but user interaction is required and power consumption is high
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic action by cycling processing systems through advertiser, listener, and sleep states in repeating time intervals. Each system alternates between advertising its presence, listening for connections, and conserving energy in sleep mode, creating a rhythmic connection protocol that reduces continuous power consumption while maintaining automatic connection capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies self-service by enabling processing systems to automatically establish connections without user intervention. Systems independently manage their own connection states, autonomously advertising presence, listening for partners, and initiating connections based on pre-configured parameters, eliminating the need for manual pairing or user interaction.
2Reliability
If processing systems continuously advertise or listen for connections, then connection establishment is possible, but power consumption increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic action by cycling processing systems through advertiser, listener, and sleep states in repeating time intervals. Each system alternates between advertising its presence, listening for connections, and conserving energy in sleep mode, creating a rhythmic connection protocol that reduces continuous power consumption while maintaining automatic connection capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies dynamics by making the connection states adjustable and adaptive. Systems can dynamically transition between advertiser, listener, and sleep states based on connection needs, allowing flexible configuration of advertising duration, listening intervals, and sleep periods to optimize the balance between connection reliability and energy conservation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If processing systems use traditional connection methods, then data exchange can occur, but infrastructure dependency increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies taking out by extracting the connection establishment process from dependency on external communication infrastructure. Systems advertise and listen for connections directly through their own communication interfaces, forming peer-to-peer connections without requiring network servers, base stations, or other intermediate infrastructure, thereby enabling operation in isolated or disaster scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements segmentation by dividing the connection protocol into distinct functional states (advertiser, listener, sleep) and separate operational phases. This segmentation allows each component to be independently managed and configured, simplifying the overall system design while enabling robust automatic connection establishment through modular state transitions.
