Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Wireless terminal equipment faces severe heat dissipation issues due to increased data bandwidth and power consumption, leading to potential overheating and reduced lifespan, with existing methods like reducing power consumption or pausing operations when temperatures rise, which can disrupt normal usage.
Innovation Solution
A traffic control method that monitors the working temperature and controls the rate of data interaction between adjacent function layers in the 7-layer TCP/IP model by adjusting buffer sizes, scheduling periods, or converting communication protocols from high to low rates, reducing data traffic and power consumption without interrupting normal operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If power consumption is reduced by pausing operations when temperature rises, then heat generation is decreased, but normal usage is disrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the data interaction process into multiple function layers (application layer, transport layer, network layer, data link layer, physical layer). By controlling data interaction rates between specific adjacent function layers rather than pausing all operations, the system reduces heat generation while maintaining continuous normal usage. This layered segmentation allows selective throttling of data traffic without complete operation suspension.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent dynamically changes the data interaction rate parameter between adjacent function layers based on temperature conditions. When temperature exceeds a threshold, the system adjusts the data interaction rate from normal to a reduced rate, allowing continuous operation at lower intensity. This parameter adjustment resolves the contradiction by maintaining operation continuity while reducing heat generation through controlled rate modification.
2Productivity
If data bandwidth is increased to improve functionality, then data processing capability is enhanced, but heat dissipation problems worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic control of data interaction rates between adjacent function layers based on real-time temperature monitoring. The system can adaptively adjust the data bandwidth utilization from high to low rates depending on thermal conditions, enabling the equipment to operate at high productivity when cool and reduce intensity when hot, thus resolving the contradiction between productivity and heat dissipation.
3Use of energy by stationary object
If data interaction rate between function layers is controlled to reduce heat, then power consumption is reduced, but data transmission efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by controlling data interaction rates between specific adjacent function layers rather than reducing all data transmission throughout the system. This selective partial control reduces power consumption in the affected layers while maintaining normal data transmission efficiency in other layers, resolving the contradiction between energy reduction and overall transmission efficiency.

AI summary
A traffic control method, a traffic controlling device, and a terminal are provided, which relate to the field of communications technology. The traffic control method includes the following. A working temperature of equipment is monitored. It is determined whether the working temperature reaches a control temperature. If the working temperature reaches the control temperature, a rate of data interaction between the adjacent function layers is controlled. The adjacent function layers are two random adjacent function layers in a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) 7-layer model. Therefore, a user can use equipment normally when power consumption of wireless terminal equipment is reduced.
