Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data processing apparatuses face challenges in miniaturization and power consumption due to the need for multiple connectors to transmit data processing information for each data byte, which increases size and power usage.

Innovation Solution

A data processing apparatus and method that utilize a unified connector to transmit group data processing information for a data group of bytes, encoded based on connector allocation information, allowing for efficient processing and reduced power consumption by allocating data bytes to groups and using a single connector for data processing information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If multiple connectors are used to transmit data processing information for each data byte, then data processing capability is improved, but device size and power consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing capabilityVSAvoiddevice size
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple data processing information channels into a single unified connector. Instead of using separate connectors for each data byte's processing information, the invention merges these channels so that one connector can transmit processing information for multiple data bytes simultaneously, thereby reducing the total number of connectors and device size while maintaining data processing capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The unified connector is designed to perform multiple functions by transmitting data processing information for multiple data bytes through a single interface. This multi-functional connector replaces what would traditionally require multiple dedicated connectors, achieving both size reduction and maintained functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Productivity

If multiple connectors are used to transmit data processing information for each data byte, then data processing capability is improved, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing capabilityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

By merging multiple data processing information transmission channels into a single unified connector, the invention reduces the number of active transmission interfaces. This consolidation decreases the total power consumption associated with maintaining multiple separate communication channels while preserving the ability to process multiple data bytes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Volume of moving object

If a unified connector is used to transmit group data processing information, then device size is reduced, but connector complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice sizeVSAvoidconnector complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing data bytes into groups that share the same processing information. Each group is assigned to a specific unified connector, allowing the system to manage complexity through organized grouping rather than requiring a completely complex single-channel system. This segmentation approach maintains manageability while achieving size reduction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Volume of moving object

If data bytes are grouped and processed through a unified connector, then the number of connectors is reduced, but operation flexibility may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of connectorsVSAvoidoperation flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The invention implements dynamic connector allocation where data bytes can be flexibly assigned to different groups and unified connectors based on processing requirements. This dynamic grouping capability allows the system to adapt to different operation scenarios while using fewer connectors, maintaining operation flexibility despite the reduced connector count

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
