Wireless Terminal Connection Point Data Exchange
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data communication systems face challenges in establishing connections to specific wireless access points, often leading to connections with undesired access points due to the lack of precise identifier information, such as SSID or MAC address, and difficulty in preventing connections to other access points with similar identifiers.
Innovation Solution
A data communication system that includes a first and second communication terminal, where the second terminal receives connection point data from the first terminal, allowing it to communicate with a connection point apparatus using the received data, which includes identifiers like SSID or MAC addresses, and optionally a key for secure communication, ensuring connection to a specified access point.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If connection point data is not transmitted between terminals, then the system is simpler and easier to operate, but the second communication terminal cannot connect to a specific connection point apparatus and may connect to undesired access points
Solution Approach 1:
The first communication terminal transmits connection point data (including identifier, key, and other necessary information) to the second communication terminal in advance before the actual connection process. This preliminary data transmission enables the second terminal to accurately connect to the desired connection point apparatus without having to search or select from multiple options, thereby ensuring connection reliability while maintaining system simplicity.
2Ease of operation
If the second communication terminal uses beacon signals to select access points, then connection establishment is automated, but the terminal may connect to undesired access points due to lack of specific identifier information
Solution Approach 1:
The first communication terminal acts as an intermediary that transmits connection point data to the second communication terminal. This intermediary transmission provides the second terminal with specific identifier information (such as SSID, MAC address, or other unique identifiers) needed to precisely identify and connect to the desired connection point apparatus, while still maintaining automated connection establishment through the use of beacon signals and automatic authentication processes.
3Reliability
If connection point data including key information is transmitted, then secure communication is enabled, but data transmission complexity and security requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The connection point data structure merges multiple pieces of information including identifier, key, and other necessary connection parameters into a single integrated data package. This merging approach enables secure communication by including authentication keys while simplifying the transmission process, as the second communication terminal receives all necessary information in one data transmission rather than multiple separate transmissions, thereby reducing overall system complexity.

AI summary
Provided is a data communication system including a first communication terminal, a second communication terminal and a connection point apparatus. The first communication terminal includes connection point data transmitting means. The connection point data transmitting means transmits connection point data for communicating with the connection point apparatus. The second communication terminal includes connection point data receiving means and communication means. The connection point data receiving means attempts to the receive connection point data from the first communication terminal. The communication means attempts to communicate with the connection point apparatus by using the connection point data received by the connection point data receiving means.
