Solution Overview

Problem

Current wired data-connections face limitations in capacity, leading to latency and delays when transmitting large files, as they often exceed the bandwidth capabilities, resulting in prolonged transfer times or connection timeouts.

Innovation Solution

The method involves parsing data into multiple parts and transmitting these parts over both a primary wired data-connection and auxiliary wired data-connections connected via a wireless mesh network, allowing for improved data transfer performance and redundancy by utilizing the bandwidth of multiple connections.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If data is transmitted over a single wired data-connection, then the transmission is simple and reliable, but the transfer time is prolonged when the data exceeds connection capacity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transfer timeVSAvoidconnection structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides large data into multiple packets and transmits them simultaneously over multiple wired data-connections (primary and auxiliary connections). This segmentation allows parallel transmission, reducing overall transfer time when data exceeds single-connection capacity, while maintaining manageable complexity through systematic packet routing and reassembly protocols

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If multiple wired data-connections are used to transmit data, then the data transfer speed increases, but the system complexity and coordination overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transfer rateVSAvoidmulti-connection system
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple wired data-connections (primary and auxiliary) into a unified transmission system that operates simultaneously. By merging the capacity of multiple connections and using coordinated packet distribution, the system achieves higher aggregate data transfer rates while managing complexity through integrated control mechanisms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where transmission status, packet delivery confirmation, and connection performance are continuously monitored. This feedback enables dynamic adjustment of packet routing, retransmission of lost packets, and optimization of multi-connection coordination, reducing overhead through intelligent adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Loss of time

If wired data-connection capacity is increased to handle large files, then the transfer time is reduced, but the connection cost and infrastructure requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelarge file transfer timeVSAvoidconnection bandwidth
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of requiring a single high-bandwidth connection, the patent segments data transmission across multiple existing connections with moderate bandwidth. This approach achieves equivalent or superior transfer performance for large files by utilizing aggregate capacity of multiple connections, avoiding the need for expensive high-capacity infrastructure upgrades

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
