Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile routers struggle to optimize their placement for maximum radio wave intensity, leading to suboptimal communication quality and efficiency, as users cannot easily identify positions that achieve higher incoming radio wave intensity beyond initial improvements.
Innovation Solution
A radio wave status indicating system comprising a wireless router and an expected value managing apparatus that communicates with wireless base stations and a communication terminal, using GIS data to compare measured and expected radio wave intensity, providing indication information to users on optimal placement for enhanced communication quality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If users manually adjust router placement to improve radio wave intensity, then communication quality improves initially, but users cannot easily identify optimal positions beyond initial improvements
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously measures radio wave intensity at the router's current position and compares it with expected intensity values from GIS data, providing feedback to users about whether the current position is optimal. This closed-loop feedback mechanism enables users to identify optimal positions by comparing measured values with expected values, resolving the information loss problem.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary system comprising a measurement unit, storage unit, and comparison unit that mediates between the router and the user. This intermediary processes raw radio wave intensity measurements, stores expected values from GIS data, and presents processed information to users, making optimal position identification easy without requiring users to perform complex measurements or analysis.
2Ease of operation
If a simple radio wave intensity indicator is used, then ease of operation improves, but the system cannot provide sufficient information for optimal placement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the information presentation into multiple distinct components: measured intensity values, expected intensity values from GIS data, and comparative indicators showing whether the current position is optimal. This segmentation allows the system to provide comprehensive placement optimization information while maintaining ease of operation through clear, organized presentation of different information types.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces complex manual measurement and analysis processes with an automated electronic system that uses measurement units, storage units, and comparison units. This substitution eliminates the need for users to perform manual radio wave measurements or analyze complex data, providing both ease of operation and comprehensive information through automated processing and presentation.
