Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication devices struggle to maintain communication quality when network conditions deteriorate, as they fail to balance bandwidth allocation among multiple users, leading to low network speeds and unsatisfied user experiences, especially in environments with high network loads or severe wireless attenuation.
Innovation Solution
A wireless communication device with a network-side speed monitoring module and a Wi-Fi access number control module adjusts the maximum number of Wi-Fi accesses based on network performance, dynamically changing the number of supported users by analyzing network speed and type, using formulas to determine optimal access limits and incorporating a time stability factor to prevent fluctuations.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the maximum number of user accesses is increased to meet surfing requirements, then user experience is improved, but communication quality deteriorates when network conditions are poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adjustment of the maximum number of user accesses based on real-time network conditions. The system continuously monitors network parameters (signal strength, data rate, network type) and adjusts the access limit accordingly, transitioning from a static configuration to a dynamic control mechanism that adapts to changing environmental conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback loop where network performance metrics are continuously measured and fed back to the access control module. This feedback mechanism enables the system to automatically adjust the maximum number of accesses based on actual network conditions, ensuring communication quality is maintained while maximizing user access capacity.
2Reliability
If the maximum number of user accesses is limited to ensure communication quality, then communication quality is maintained, but user experience deteriorates due to insufficient bandwidth allocation
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameter of maximum user accesses based on network conditions. By adjusting this parameter dynamically according to measured network parameters (signal strength, data rate, network type), the system optimizes the balance between maintaining communication quality and providing sufficient bandwidth allocation for user activities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different access limits to different network conditions locally. Instead of using a uniform access limit for all scenarios, the system determines specific access limits based on the current network environment (e.g., 2G/3G/4G networks, indoor/outdoor locations), allowing optimal bandwidth allocation for each local condition.
3Stability of the object's composition
If a fixed access limit is applied to maintain network performance, then network stability is improved, but adaptability to different network conditions deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from static access control to dynamic adjustment based on real-time network monitoring. The maximum number of accesses is continuously adapted according to measured network parameters, enabling the system to maintain stability through controlled adjustments rather than rigid fixed limits.
