Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless network technologies face challenges in synchronizing data presentation across multiple peripheral devices connected to a user equipment (UE), due to varying processing and transmission delays.
Innovation Solution
A method where the UE receives synchronized data signals, extracts the data, determines transmission timing based on device delays, and transmits the data to ensure approximate synchronization across connected devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If data is transmitted to multiple peripheral devices connected to a UE, then the quantity of devices supported increases, but synchronization of data presentation deteriorates due to varying processing and transmission delays
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by determining processing and transmission delays of peripheral devices in advance, calculating timing adjustments before data transmission, and configuring presentation timing offsets to compensate for device-specific delays, thereby achieving synchronized data presentation across multiple devices
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes timing parameters dynamically by adjusting presentation timing based on determined delays for each peripheral device, modifying transmission timing and processing schedules to compensate for varying device characteristics and achieve synchronization
2Manufacturing precision
If transmission timing is adjusted to synchronize data across devices, then synchronization quality improves, but system complexity increases due to delay measurement and timing calculation requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by enabling peripheral devices to autonomously determine their own processing and transmission delays, calculate required timing adjustments, and configure their presentation timing without requiring complex centralized control, thereby reducing overall system complexity while maintaining synchronization precision
3Productivity
If data is transmitted simultaneously to multiple devices, then transmission efficiency is maintained, but presentation synchronization deteriorates due to identical transmission timing not accounting for device delays
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by configuring device-specific timing parameters and presentation offsets tailored to each peripheral device's characteristics, allowing simultaneous transmission to multiple devices while achieving synchronized presentation through localized timing adjustments at each device

AI summary
A method includes receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a first signal from a first apparatus, the first signal comprising a first data for presentation by a second apparatus and a second data for presentation by a third apparatus, the first data and the second data being synchronized with each other in time. The UE extracts the first and second data from the first signal, and determines a timing for transmitting a second signal that comprises the first data to the second apparatus and for transmitting a third signal that comprises the second data to the third apparatus, the timing configured to approximately synchronize in time presentation of the first data and second data by the respective second and third apparatuses. The UE transmits the second signal to the second apparatus based on the timing, and transmits the third signal to the third apparatus based on the timing.
