Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication methods with multiple devices result in significant time differences in content receipt, failing to meet real-time requirements, especially when dealing with a large number of devices.
Innovation Solution
A communication method involving an intelligent terminal that determines a first device and sends a control instruction to relay the message through multiple devices, utilizing them as relay nodes to quickly distribute the instruction to all devices, improving real-time communication and extending the communication distance.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the terminal establishes connections with multiple devices one by one and sends communication content sequentially, then the terminal can communicate with each device individually, but the time difference in content receipt becomes large and real-time requirements cannot be met
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a relay device as an intermediary node in the communication network. Instead of the terminal directly communicating with all target devices, the relay device receives the communication content from the terminal and forwards it to multiple target devices simultaneously. This mediator approach enables parallel distribution of content, reducing the time difference in receipt while maintaining reliable one-to-many communication.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the communication process into two independent phases: (1) the terminal sends content to the relay device, and (2) the relay device distributes content to multiple target devices. This segmentation allows the distribution phase to occur in parallel across multiple devices, eliminating the sequential bottleneck and reducing overall transmission time while ensuring each device receives the content reliably.
2Length of stationary object
If the terminal communicates directly with all devices, then communication can be established, but the communication distance is limited by the terminal's transmission range
Solution Approach 1:
The relay device serves as an intermediary that extends the communication range. The terminal communicates with the relay device within its transmission range, and the relay device subsequently communicates with target devices that may be beyond the terminal's direct range. This intermediary approach effectively extends the overall communication distance without requiring the terminal to have high-power transmission capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the communication topology from a single-hop direct connection to a multi-hop indirect connection. By adding the relay device as an intermediate node, the system creates a new communication dimension where content can traverse through multiple nodes to reach distant targets, effectively extending the network coverage area beyond the terminal's direct transmission range.

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses a communication method, system, intelligent terminal, communication device, equipment, and storage medium. The method includes: determining a first device, the first device being one of a plurality of communication devices around the intelligent terminal; connecting to the first device; and sending a control instruction to the first device, wherein the control instruction is used to instruct the first device to be used as a relay node to relay the control instruction to a target communication device. Through the communication devices forwarding the control instruction, each communication device can quickly receive the control instruction, improving the real-time nature of communication and, through forwarding, communication devices further away can also receive the control instruction, extending the communication distance.
