Problem
Short-range wireless communication apparatuses face issues when multiple communication interfaces are simultaneously connected, leading to inappropriate sound data transfer due to compatibility limitations between the apparatus and the communication counterparty device.
Innovation Solution
A short-range wireless communication apparatus with multiple connection devices and a control device that selectively outputs sound data using one communication interface while disconnecting another, ensuring appropriate sound data transfer by maintaining connection with the interface requested for output.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple communication interfaces are simultaneously connected between the short-range wireless communication apparatus and the communication counterparty apparatus, then the apparatus can provide multiple functions and increase adaptability, but the communication counterparty apparatus cannot appropriately transfer sound data due to compatibility limitations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic connection management where the short-range wireless communication apparatus actively monitors connection status and sound data transfer requests, then dynamically disconnects or reconnects communication interfaces based on real-time requirements. This dynamic adjustment allows the system to maintain multiple interface connections for versatility while ensuring sound data transfer reliability by selectively activating only the appropriate interface during transfer operations.
2Productivity
If multiple communication interfaces are simultaneously connected, then the system enables sound data transfer through multiple paths, but compatibility issues prevent appropriate sound data transfer from the communication counterparty apparatus
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a control mechanism that acts as an intermediary between multiple communication interfaces and the sound data transfer process. This intermediary monitors transfer requests, determines compatibility status of each interface, and selectively activates appropriate interfaces while managing disconnections for incompatible ones. This intermediary layer resolves compatibility limitations while preserving the productivity benefits of multiple transfer paths.
3Ease of operation
If the apparatus maintains simultaneous connections with multiple communication interfaces, then it can respond to sound data output requests from any interface, but the communication counterparty apparatus experiences transfer failures due to its specification limitations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by proactively monitoring connection status and sound data transfer requests before actual transfer operations begin. The system预先 determines which communication interfaces are compatible with the communication counterparty apparatus specifications, and pre-configures the appropriate interface for sound data transfer. This preliminary assessment prevents transfer failures while maintaining the operational flexibility to handle requests from multiple interfaces.
Data Source
AI summary
A short-range wireless communication apparatus is disclosed. The short-range wireless communication apparatus comprises: multiple connection devices and a control device. The connection devices are capable of simultaneously connecting multiple communication interfaces to a communication counterparty apparatus to enable sound data transfer. When the control device determines that, in cases where the communication interfaces are communicably connected, there arises a request to start outputting the sound data transferred by one of the communication interfaces, the control device disconnects another one of the communication interfaces while keeping the one of the communication interfaces connected and causes a sound data output device to output the sound data transferred from the communication counterparty apparatus by the one of the communication interfaces.
