Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data transmission methods are cumbersome and time-consuming due to lengthy user operations, leading to prolonged data transmission times and poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
A data transmission method that uses a sensor and magnet setup to automatically establish a communication link between terminals, allowing for simplified user operations by triggering a low-level output signal when a magnet from one terminal interacts with a sensor on another, enabling quick data transmission via Bluetooth or WiFi based on data size and preset conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual connection establishment is used in existing data transmission methods, then connection can be made between terminals, but user operation becomes cumbersome and data transmission time is prolonged
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring magnets on terminals and pre-programming sensors to automatically detect magnet presence and initiate connection protocols. When a magnet approaches, the sensor detects it and automatically starts the connection process without requiring user intervention, thus resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and data transmission time.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service through automatic connection establishment where the terminal autonomously detects the magnet, initiates connection protocols, and transfers data without human intervention. The sensor-magnet mechanism enables the system to serve itself by automatically completing the connection process that previously required cumbersome manual operations.
2Productivity
If automatic connection establishment using sensor and magnet is implemented, then user operation complexity is reduced and connection speed is improved, but device complexity increases due to additional components
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical operations with a magnetic field-based detection system. Instead of requiring users to manually navigate connection interfaces, the system uses magnetic fields generated by magnets to trigger sensor responses, which automatically initiate connection protocols. This substitution of mechanical user interaction with magnetic field detection resolves the contradiction between connection speed and device complexity.
3Speed
If Bluetooth is used for data transmission, then connection can be established between devices, but transmission speed is limited for large data sizes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamics by making the transmission protocol adaptable based on data size. The system dynamically selects between Bluetooth and WiFi protocols: for small data sizes, Bluetooth is used; for large data sizes, WiFi is invoked to provide higher transmission speed and capacity. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction between transmission speed and data transmission capacity.
