Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional wireless peripheral systems require separate and more expensive wireless signal transceivers for human input devices and audio devices, making them less cost-effective for users, especially those with limited economic means, and often necessitating wired audio transmission due to differing data transmission speed requirements.
Innovation Solution
A wireless peripheral system utilizing a single wireless signal transceiver controller that communicates both human input devices and audio devices via a full speed USB port, employing a computer interface controller, communication controller, and wireless signal transceiver, allowing parallel and serial data transmission to manage different data transmission speeds using TDMA technology.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate wireless signal transceivers are used for human input devices and audio devices, then each device can be optimized for its specific data transmission requirements, but the system becomes more expensive and less cost-effective
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a single wireless signal transceiver controller that can serve multiple functions - it controls both human input devices (keyboard, mouse) and audio devices (microphone, earphone) through one unified device. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for separate transceivers while maintaining optimized performance for each device type through software-based data rate adjustment.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes parameter changes by dynamically adjusting the data transmission rate based on the type of data being transmitted. The controller modifies transmission parameters (data rate, frequency) according to the specific requirements of HID data versus audio data, allowing a single transceiver to efficiently handle different data types without requiring hardware optimization for each.
2Device complexity
If a single wireless signal transceiver is used for both human input devices and audio devices, then the system becomes more cost-effective, but the data transmission speed requirement for audio signals cannot be met
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the transmission speed adjustable rather than fixed. The wireless signal transceiver controller dynamically changes the data transmission rate based on the current communication needs - using higher speeds for audio data when necessary and lower speeds for HID data. This dynamic adaptation allows a single transceiver to meet the high speed requirements of audio transmission while remaining cost-effective.
3Adaptability or versatility
If separate transceivers are used for wireless human input device and wireless audio device, then each device can operate independently, but USB ports are consumed and user flexibility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies merging by combining multiple wireless peripheral connections into a single integrated controller. Instead of requiring separate USB connections for wireless keyboard, mouse, microphone, and earphone, the system merges all these functions into one wireless signal transceiver controller that communicates with the computer through a single USB port. This reduces USB port consumption while maintaining device independence through software-based protocol separation.
