Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing terminal devices are fixedly connected to a Wi-Fi network, preventing network switching when the network rate is low, leading to suboptimal performance and user experience.
Innovation Solution
A network connection control method that acquires network hotspot information of a second network with a higher rate, sends a prompt for user intervention, and automatically switches to the second network if not connected within a preset time, ensuring the terminal device connects to the optimal network.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the terminal device is fixedly connected to the 2.4G network, then the penetrating power and signal radiation capability are improved, but the network rate is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic network switching by enabling the terminal device to automatically transition between 2.4G and 5G networks based on real-time signal quality and rate conditions. The system monitors connection parameters and dynamically selects the optimal network, resolving the contradiction between penetration reliability and network speed by adapting to changing environmental conditions rather than being fixed to one network type.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes operational parameters by switching frequency bands based on detected network conditions. When the 5G network signal is blocked or quality degrades, the terminal device changes the operating frequency parameter to 2.4G, and vice versa, thereby optimizing both penetration power and network rate according to actual usage scenarios.

3Speed
If the terminal device automatically switches between networks, then the network rate and signal quality are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling the terminal device to autonomously monitor its own network connection status, evaluate signal quality and rate parameters, and automatically switch between 2.4G and 5G networks without requiring external intervention. The device performs self-diagnosis and self-optimization of its network connections, reducing the need for complex external control systems while maintaining high network performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring network connection parameters such as signal strength, data rate, and connection stability. Based on this feedback information, the terminal device automatically adjusts its network selection and switching decisions, creating a closed-loop control system that optimizes network performance while managing complexity through intelligent decision-making algorithms.
4Speed
If the user manually switches networks, then the network rate can be optimized, but the operation time and user burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling the terminal device to autonomously monitor its own network connection status, evaluate signal quality and rate parameters, and automatically switch between 2.4G and 5G networks based on detected conditions. This eliminates the need for users to manually intervene in network switching operations, saving time and reducing user burden while maintaining optimal network performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by proactively monitoring network conditions and preparing for potential switches before performance degradation occurs. The terminal device continuously evaluates signal quality and rate parameters, and can initiate network switching in advance to maintain optimal connectivity, preventing rather than reacting to performance issues.

AI summary
A terminal device acquires network hotspot information of a second network when connected to a first network, where a network rate of the second network is higher than a network rate of the first network. A prompt message is sent to prompt that a network hotspot of the second network exists for a user to connect to if the acquired network hotspot information of the second network satisfies a preset condition. The terminal device is automatically connected to the second network if it is detected that the terminal device is not connected to the second network within preset time after the prompt message is sent, so as to automatically switch the network of the terminal device to the second network, so that the terminal device can be connected to a network with a highest rate.
