Solution Overview

Problem

Current data transmission methods, such as cellular mobile networks and Wi-Fi, often experience significant network delays and instability during gaming processes, leading to poor user experience due to competition for wireless link resources.

Innovation Solution

The method involves determining the transmission state of voice data packets in a game application and establishing an additional communication link when the primary link suffers from large network delays or instability, allowing data packets to be transmitted through either the primary or secondary link, or both, to improve data transmission speed and reduce delays.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If cellular mobile network or Wi-Fi communication is used for data transmission, then data communication capability is provided, but network delay increases and transmission stability deteriorates due to competition for wireless link resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission speedVSAvoidnetwork transmission stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple communication links (first communication link and second communication link) into a unified transmission system. The voice data packets are transmitted through both links simultaneously, merging their transmission capabilities to achieve higher productivity while maintaining reliability through redundancy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically adjusts the transmission path based on network conditions. When the first communication link experiences high delay or instability, the system dynamically switches to or incorporates the second communication link, making the transmission system adaptive and flexible in response to changing network environments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Loss of time

If a single communication link is used for data transmission, then device complexity is low, but data transmission delay increases under heavy network load

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission delayVSAvoidcommunication link management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-establishes a second communication link as a backup before the first link becomes congested. This preliminary preparation allows for rapid switching or parallel transmission when needed, reducing transmission delay without requiring complex real-time decision-making processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system monitors the transmission state of voice data packets and uses this feedback to determine when to switch between communication links. When the first link shows signs of congestion or instability, the feedback mechanism triggers activation of the second link, creating a closed-loop control system that manages complexity through intelligent decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A method for data transmission, an electronic device, and a storage medium are provided. The method includes the following. A transmission state of voice data packets of a game application running in a foreground of the electronic device is obtained. A first communication link established by the electronic device is determined and at least one second communication link is established, upon detecting that the transmission state satisfies a preset condition, where the transmission state satisfying the preset condition indicates that the first communication link suffers from a large network delay or is unstable. The voice data packets are transmitted through at least one of the first communication link and the at least one second communication link, where some or all data packets among the voice data packets are transmitted through at least one target communication link in the at least one second communication link.
