Router Channel Switching via Sensor Trigger Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless router configurations require manual channel switching by users, which is complex and affects user experience due to interference from LTE signals and increased access devices, leading to lower network speeds and poor performance.
Innovation Solution
A communication method where a first electronic device detects a trigger event, such as a shaking operation, and sends sensor data association information to a second electronic device, like a wireless router, to automatically switch channels based on preset conditions, considering user intentions and network status.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If manual channel switching is implemented in wireless router settings, then channel selection capability is improved, but operation complexity increases and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The wireless router automatically performs channel selection and switching based on detected trigger events and sensor data, eliminating the need for manual user intervention. The system monitors its own operating environment and autonomously optimizes channel selection, transforming a complex manual operation into an automated self-service process that maintains adaptability while dramatically improving ease of operation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical/manual channel switching operation with an automated detection and control system. Sensor data from trigger events (such as shaking operations) is processed to automatically determine optimal channel switching decisions, substituting the manual mechanical interaction with an electronic sensing and control mechanism that simplifies user interaction while preserving channel selection capability
2Ease of operation
If automatic channel switching is implemented based on sensor data, then ease of operation is improved, but misjudgment of user intention increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts its sensitivity and decision-making criteria for automatic channel switching based on the specific sensor data patterns and trigger events detected. Rather than using fixed thresholds, the system adapts its response based on the characteristics of the detected operation, allowing it to distinguish between genuine channel switching intentions and other user actions, thereby maintaining reliability while preserving ease of operation
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that analyze sensor data patterns and user behavior to refine its automatic channel switching decisions. By monitoring the outcomes of previous switching operations and the characteristics of trigger events, the system learns to better identify user intentions and reduce misjudgments, maintaining both ease of operation and reliability through continuous optimization
3Measurement precision
If sensor data monitoring is continuously performed, then user intention detection accuracy is improved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of continuous monitoring, the system performs sensor data detection periodically or event-triggered. The wireless router monitors for specific trigger events (such as shaking operations or touch gestures) and only then activates the sensor data analysis and channel switching process. This periodic/event-driven approach maintains detection accuracy for genuine user intentions while dramatically reducing energy consumption compared to continuous monitoring

AI summary
This application relates to the field of communication technologies, and discloses a communication method, an electronic device, and a medium. The communication method includes: when detecting a first trigger event, for example, a preset operation, for example, shaking of a user, a network access device may send corresponding sensor data association information to a second electronic device; and when determining that the sensor data association information meets a first preset condition, for example, determining that the sensor data meets data corresponding to the shaking operation, the network access device may switch from a first channel to a second channel. Based on the foregoing solution, a channel switching procedure can be effectively simplified, and user experience can be improved.
