Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple chips are used to connect to multiple HCP devices, then data transmission capability is improved, but device volume and power consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple transmitting apparatus functions into a single chip by integrating a common module that shares digital signal processing capabilities across multiple analog front end modules. This consolidation reduces the number of separate chips needed while maintaining the ability to transmit data to multiple HCP devices simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The common module is designed with universal functionality to serve multiple analog front end modules and multiple HCP devices. It can dynamically allocate resources and process signals for different receiving devices through a single transmitting apparatus, eliminating the need for dedicated chips for each connection.

This consolidation reduces the number of separate chips needed while maintaining the ability to transmit data to multiple HCP devices simultaneously.
4Volume of moving object
If a single chip is used to transmit to multiple devices, then device volume is reduced, but signal attenuation issues occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the transmitting apparatus into a common module and multiple independent analog front end modules. Each analog front end module handles signal transmission to a specific HCP device, ensuring signal quality is maintained while the common module provides shared processing capabilities to reduce overall chip count.

AI summary
This application provides a transmitting apparatus, a data transmission system, and a data transmission method. A common module and a plurality of analog front end AFE modules are included. The common module is configured to: receive first information, process the first information to obtain second information, and send the second information to at least two of the plurality of analog front end modules separately; and the analog front end module is configured to: process the second information to obtain third information, and send the third information. When a data transmission device is connected to a plurality of receiving apparatuses, only one transmitting apparatus needs to be set. Compared with a solution of disposing a plurality of chips, in this application, space occupied by a chip in the data transmission device can be reduced, and power consumption of the transmitting apparatus can be reduced.
