Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems lack an efficient method for aggregating data from multiple sources to determine optimal routing networks for user devices based on location and item identification, leading to difficulties in selecting appropriate networks for activities.

Innovation Solution

A method involving a wireless sensing device that detects user devices within range of a location, transmitting data to a computing device which generates notifications for available routing networks, and establishes secure sessions to recommend optimized routing networks based on location and item recognition using Bluetooth beacons, wireless access points, or near-field communication sensors.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If data is aggregated from multiple sources to determine optimal routing networks, then the quality of routing recommendations is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverouting network selection accuracyVSAvoiddata aggregation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a computing device as an intermediary between multiple data sources (routing network data sources, user data sources, location services) and the user device. This computing device aggregates data from various sources, processes it to determine optimal routing networks, and transmits recommendations to the user device, thereby simplifying the overall system architecture while maintaining high recommendation accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system divides the data aggregation and processing functionality into separate modular components: wireless sensing devices for location detection, computing devices for data aggregation and routing network determination, and user devices for displaying recommendations. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in specific tasks, improving overall system efficiency and reducing complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If secure session connections are established between computing device and user device, then data security is improved, but the communication overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The computing device establishes secure session connections with routing network data sources and user devices in advance, before actual data transmission occurs. This preliminary establishment of secure channels allows for efficient data exchange during operation without repeated authentication overhead, balancing security with communication efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If wireless sensing devices detect user devices based on location, then the relevance of routing recommendations is improved, but the detection precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides customized routing network recommendations tailored to specific local conditions and user device locations. By using wireless sensing devices to detect user device proximity to specific locations, the system delivers location-relevant routing recommendations without requiring extremely high precision, as the recommendations are adapted to the local context rather than requiring universal accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A method, apparatus, computer-readable medium, and/or system may comprise a computing device comprising a processor and memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to receive, from a user device, data indicative of an item. The computing device may be located at a first location, and the user device may be located at a second location, where the first location is different from the second location. The computing device may identify the item based on item recognition using the data indicative of the item. The computing device may determine, based on the identified item, one or more routing networks for the user device to use for the identified item. The computing device may generate, for display via the user device, a notification indicating the one or more routing networks for the user device to use for the identified item. The computing device may transmit, to the user device, and via a secure session connection, the notification indicating the one or more routing networks for the user device to use for the identified item. The user device may be configured to receive, from the computing device, the notification indicating the one or more routing networks for the user device to use for the identified item. The user device may display the notification indicating the one or more routing networks.
