Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional near field information transmission methods, such as two-dimensional code scanning, GPS positioning, voice transmission, and manual input, are inconvenient and inaccurate due to complex operations, high requirements for data accuracy, and susceptibility to noise interference.

Innovation Solution

The method employs a personal hotspot's service set identifier (SSID) for near field information transmission, where a random number generated by the information system is used as the SSID, broadcast through a wireless communication protocol, allowing the information receiving client to acquire the SSID with the highest signal intensity without complex user operations, ensuring accurate and secure data transfer.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If two-dimensional code scanning is used for near field information transmission, then information can be transmitted, but the operation becomes complex and requires light conditions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation complexityVSAvoidtransmission reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces optical scanning mechanisms (camera-based 2D code scanning) with electromagnetic signal-based detection (WiFi signal strength detection). This substitution eliminates the need for light conditions and complex camera operations, while maintaining information transmission capability through automatic SSID matching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables automatic information transmission without manual intervention. The terminal automatically detects nearby terminals via WiFi signal strength, automatically matches SSIDs, and automatically completes information exchange, eliminating the need for manual code scanning or user operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If GPS positioning is used for near field information transmission, then location-based information can be transmitted, but data collection accuracy requirements are high and it is difficult to determine the transmitting party when parties are very close

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning accuracyVSAvoiddata collection complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the detection parameter from GPS coordinates (latitude/longitude) to WiFi signal strength (RSSI). This parameter change enables accurate near-field detection without the high positioning accuracy requirements of GPS, as signal strength naturally decreases with distance and provides sufficient discrimination for nearby terminals.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of using GPS to determine location and then identifying nearby terminals, the patent inverts the approach by using WiFi signal strength to directly identify the transmitting terminal. The terminal with the strongest signal is automatically identified as the transmitting party, eliminating the complexity of GPS-based proximity determination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

3Ease of operation

If voice transmission is used for near field information transmission, then information can be transmitted orally, but noise interference affects voice collection accuracy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission convenienceVSAvoidvoice collection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces acoustic transmission (voice) with electromagnetic transmission (WiFi signals). This substitution eliminates susceptibility to noise interference while maintaining automatic detection capability, as electromagnetic signals are not affected by acoustic environmental factors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

4Reliability

If manual input is used for near field information transmission, then information can be entered, but it is inconvenient and error-prone

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission accuracyVSAvoidinput convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically performs information exchange between terminals without manual input. The terminal automatically detects nearby terminals, matches SSIDs, and completes information transmission, eliminating manual typing errors and improving both convenience and accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
