Solution Overview

Problem

Mobile communication devices face interference between third-party signals and Wi-Fi signals, leading to potential data loss, increased Packet Error Rate, and user experience issues when communication is aborted between either Wi-Fi or third-party services.

Innovation Solution

A mobile communication device and method that dynamically adjusts Wi-Fi receiving gain based on estimated simultaneous Wi-Fi and third-party communication to prevent interference, allowing concurrent reception of both signals without aborting either communication type.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If Wi-Fi communication is aborted to avoid interference with third party signal receiving, then third party communication reliability is improved, but Wi-Fi data transmission completeness deteriorates and packet error rate increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethird party communication reliabilityVSAvoidWi-Fi data transmission completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adjustment of Wi-Fi receiving gain based on real-time detection of third party signal activity. The system transitions from static communication modes to dynamic control where the Wi-Fi module adjusts its receiving gain parameter in response to detected third party signals, allowing adaptive coexistence of both communication types without abrupt aborts

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the physical parameter of Wi-Fi receiving gain dynamically. When third party signals are detected, the system adjusts the Wi-Fi receiving gain to an appropriate level that prevents interference while maintaining Wi-Fi communication integrity. This parameter adjustment resolves the contradiction by allowing both communications to coexist with acceptable reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If third party signal receiving is aborted to avoid interference with Wi-Fi signal receiving, then Wi-Fi communication reliability is improved, but third party data transmission completeness deteriorates and latency increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveWi-Fi communication reliabilityVSAvoidthird party data transmission latency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs dynamic detection and adjustment mechanisms that monitor third party signal activity and respond in real-time. Instead of aborting third party communications, the Wi-Fi module dynamically adjusts its receiving gain based on detected third party signals, maintaining continuous third party communication without interruption or retransmission delays

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary detection of third party signal activity before Wi-Fi reception occurs. By detecting third party signals in advance and proactively adjusting Wi-Fi receiving gain, the system prevents interference before it occurs, avoiding the need for aborts or retransmissions that would cause latency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If Wi-Fi receiving gain is increased to improve Wi-Fi signal reception, then Wi-Fi communication quality is improved, but interference with third party signal receiving increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveWi-Fi communication qualityVSAvoidinterference with third party signal
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the system continuously monitors for third party signal activity and uses this information to adjust Wi-Fi receiving gain. The feedback loop detects when third party signals are present and automatically reduces Wi-Fi receiving gain to appropriate levels, preventing interference while maintaining optimal Wi-Fi communication quality when third party signals are absent

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes the Wi-Fi receiving gain parameter based on detected third party signal conditions. When third party signals are detected, the receiving gain is adjusted to an appropriate level that eliminates harmful interference. This parameter adaptation resolves the contradiction by making Wi-Fi reception quality conditional on third party signal presence

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
