Communication Terminal Automatic Network Configuration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for configuring Wi-Fi Direct communication networks do not facilitate automatic connection of communication terminals unconnected to a network with suitable counterparts, requiring user intervention to select from found terminals.
Innovation Solution
A network configuration method where a communication terminal searches for and determines a connection counterpart based on information received from nearby terminals, using criteria such as connection status and authentication methods to automatically establish a network connection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If user selection method is used to determine connection counterpart, then connection accuracy is improved, but automation level deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The communication terminal automatically determines the connection counterpart by evaluating received communication messages against predetermined connection conditions, without requiring user selection. The terminal autonomously selects a target terminal based on criteria such as authentication methods and connection status,实现ing self-service connection establishment.
2Extent of automation
If automatic connection is implemented, then automation level is improved, but connection reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal evaluates multiple parameters from received communication messages including authentication methods (open system authentication, shared key authentication), connection status (connected, unconnected), and terminal types (infrastructure mode, ad-hoc mode). By systematically comparing these parameters against predetermined conditions, the system ensures reliable automatic connection selection.
3Measurement precision
If information from multiple found terminals is processed, then connection accuracy is improved, but processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal receives communication messages from multiple found terminals and processes them individually by extracting relevant information from each message. The evaluation is segmented into discrete steps: receiving messages, extracting terminal information, comparing against connection conditions, and selecting the target terminal that meets the criteria.

AI summary
A first communication terminal, unconnected with a communication network, searches for a second communication terminal existing around the own communication terminal. In the communication network, one of a plurality of communication terminals functions as a master having a function of an access point, and the rest of the communication terminals function as slaves of the master. Based on the information included in a communication message received from one or more second communication terminals found through the search, the first communication terminal determines a second communication terminal which serves as a connection counterpart from among the second communication terminals, and configures a communication network with the determined connection counterpart.
