Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently extracting and processing data from payloads of data packets, leading to delays and inefficiencies in data implementation and usage, particularly due to the need for separate data definitions for each device and lack of dynamic editing and reuse of data definition structures.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a method that uses data definitions to interpret and process data packets in wireless communication systems, allowing devices to generate and extract data from payloads based on specific data definitions, with the ability to dynamically edit and reuse these structures across multiple devices, independent of the device type, using a server to provide and manage data definition files.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If separate data definitions are created for each device, then data extraction accuracy is improved, but device complexity and maintenance burden increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata extraction accuracyVSAvoiddata definition management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal data definition structure that can be applied across multiple devices and communication scenarios. Instead of creating separate data definitions for each device, the system uses a single data definition format that can interpret data from various sources (sensors, actuators, communication protocols), making the data extraction mechanism universally applicable while maintaining accuracy.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates reusable data definition templates that can be copied and applied to multiple devices. Rather than manually configuring separate definitions for each device, the patent allows data definitions to be instantiated from templates, reducing the overall complexity while maintaining the precision needed for accurate data extraction from each device type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Stability of the object's composition

If data definitions are fixed and pre-defined, then system stability is improved, but adaptability to new device types and data formats decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem stabilityVSAvoidadaptability to new devices
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic data definition capabilities that allow the system to adapt to new device types and data formats while maintaining structural stability. The data definition system can be dynamically updated, extended, or modified to accommodate new sensors, actuators, or communication protocols without requiring complete reconfiguration, thus balancing stability with adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The data definition structure is segmented into modular components that can be independently configured and combined. This segmentation allows the system to maintain stable core data definition elements while allowing flexible addition or modification of specific device-related segments, enabling adaptability to new device types without compromising overall system stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Manufacturing precision

If manual data extraction methods are used, then implementation precision is improved, but processing speed and efficiency decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata extraction precisionVSAvoiddata processing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring data definition templates and structures before actual data extraction occurs. These pre-defined templates contain the necessary rules and formats for extracting data from various sources, allowing the system to quickly and accurately process data without requiring complex manual extraction logic during runtime, thus improving both precision and efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The data extraction system performs self-service by automatically applying the appropriate data definition templates to incoming data streams based on device identification or data type. This automated matching and extraction process eliminates the need for manual intervention while maintaining high precision, thereby significantly improving processing efficiency and productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A system, a method, and a computer program product for processing data using defined data definitions in communications systems. A communication link is established between a first device and a second device. At least one or more data packets are exchanged between the first device and the second device. The first device uses at least one first data definition to extract data from one or more payloads of the one or more data packets when the data packets are received from the second device. The second device uses at least one second data definition to extract data from one or more payloads of the one or more data packets when the data packets are received from the first device.
