Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data transmission methods over public networks, such as the Internet, often result in variable and decreased data transmission rates due to intermediary devices that are not under the control of the sending or receiving devices, leading to delays and errors.
Innovation Solution
A data transmission system that utilizes geographically distributed endpoints to communicate with devices on both the public and private networks, dynamically selecting endpoints nearby to the source and destination devices to minimize the use of public networks and optimize communication through stateful connections, thereby increasing data transmission rates.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If data is transmitted through public networks with intermediary devices, then network coverage and accessibility are improved, but data transmission rate and reliability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces private network intermediary devices (gateway devices, edge computing devices) as mediators between public networks and endpoint devices. These intermediaries establish stateful connections that maintain communication context, enabling faster data transmission while preserving broad network accessibility. The intermediaries act as controlled bridges that bypass the limitations of traditional public network routing.
Solution Approach 2:
The network transmission path is segmented into multiple stages: public network access, private network intermediary processing, and endpoint delivery. By dividing the transmission journey into segments with different characteristics (public vs. private networking), the system optimizes each segment for its specific function while achieving overall high-speed transmission.
2Ease of operation
If conventional public network transmission is used, then device compatibility and ease of connection are improved, but transmission speed and consistency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
Private network intermediary devices serve as compatibility mediators that maintain ease of connection for endpoint devices while enabling high-speed transmission. The intermediaries handle protocol translation and connection management, allowing standard devices to connect to the optimized private network infrastructure without modification.
3Adaptability or versatility
If intermediary devices on public networks are used, then network flexibility and routing options are improved, but transmission reliability and control deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces private network intermediary devices as controlled mediators that provide both routing flexibility and transmission reliability. These intermediaries maintain stateful connections that track communication context, enabling reliable data transfer while offering flexible routing options within the private network infrastructure.
Solution Approach 2:
Stateful connections implemented by intermediary devices provide continuous feedback about transmission status and network conditions. This feedback mechanism enables dynamic adjustment of routing and transmission parameters, simultaneously achieving routing flexibility and transmission reliability through informed decision-making.
4Ease of manufacture
If stateless public network protocols are used, then protocol simplicity and ease of implementation are improved, but data transmission efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the protocol implementation into two layers: simple stateless protocols for public network access and sophisticated stateful protocols for private network transmission. This segmentation allows endpoint devices to use simple protocols while the intermediary devices handle complex stateful communication, achieving both simplicity and efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
Intermediary devices act as protocol translators that convert simple stateless public network protocols into efficient stateful private network protocols. This intermediary layer preserves protocol simplicity for endpoint devices while enabling high-efficiency stateful transmission over the private network.
Data Source
AI summary
Systems and methods are described that enable high-data-rate network communications by use of a data transmission system, which can at least partially redirect data transmitted between two computing devices on a public network to a private network. The data transmission system may include a variety of endpoints at different locations, such that source and destination computing devices may pass information into and out of the data transmission system via the endpoints. To ensure that endpoints are able to communication with each computing device via a path of sufficient network quality, the data transmission system may dynamically generate additional endpoints within points of presence of the system. Where no endpoints or points of presence have a connection of sufficient quality to a source and destination computing device, the data transmission system may decline to transmit data, and instruct the source or destination computing devices to utilize traditional communication channels.
