Solution Overview

Problem

When mobile phones distribute data into multiple links for transmission, mutual interference between wireless modules occurs due to similar or identical frequency bands, leading to increased error and decreased data transmission rates.

Innovation Solution

A WiFi hotspot management method that involves obtaining network information of an initial network resource, sending a hotspot enabling command to an external device, and connecting to a target WiFi hotspot with a staggered frequency band, thereby reducing inter-frequency band interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If data are distributed into multiple links for transmission through similar or identical frequency bands, then data transmission capacity is increased, but mutual interference between wireless modules occurs leading to increased error rate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission rateVSAvoiderror rate
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the frequency band parameter of the WiFi hotspot to be different from the initial network resource's frequency band. By adjusting this critical parameter, the system avoids mutual interference between wireless modules while maintaining multi-link data transmission capability, thus resolving the contradiction between transmission rate and error rate

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces frequency band differentiation as an additional dimension for link management. Instead of using multiple links at the same frequency level, the system creates links operating at different frequency bands, effectively adding a dimensional separation that prevents interference while preserving parallel transmission capacity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Productivity

If multiple wireless modules simultaneously receive and transmit data in similar frequency bands, then concurrent transmission capability is enhanced, but mutual interference increases leading to decreased data transmission rate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconcurrent transmission capabilityVSAvoidmutual interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the frequency band parameter of the WiFi hotspot to differ from the initial network resource. This parameter change enables concurrent transmission across multiple links without mutual interference, as each link operates in a distinct frequency band, thereby resolving the contradiction between concurrent capability and harmful interference

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the frequency spectrum into different bands for different transmission links. By dividing the frequency resources into separate segments (different frequency bands), the system allows multiple wireless modules to transmit concurrently without interfering with each other, thus resolving the contradiction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
