Solution Overview

Problem

Electronic devices face interference and deteriorated communication performance due to improper selection of frequency bands and bandwidths for wireless communication connections without considering the surrounding environment, leading to channel interference.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device determines a recommended bandwidth by comparing data rates with interference levels in the maximum and reference bandwidths of an external device, using a communication circuit and processor to control wireless communication connections based on capability information.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the electronic device selects the frequency band and bandwidth to perform wireless communication without considering surrounding environment, then communication connection is established, but channel interference occurs and communication performance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication connection establishmentVSAvoidcommunication performance
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The electronic device performs preliminary actions by scanning for external devices and measuring interference levels before establishing a wireless communication connection. The processor determines a recommended bandwidth based on pre-measured interference levels in different bandwidths, ensuring the connection is established with optimal parameters already selected, thereby avoiding channel interference and maintaining communication performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If the electronic device uses maximum bandwidth for wireless communication, then data rate increases, but interference from other external devices increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata rateVSAvoidinterference from other external devices
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The electronic device changes the bandwidth parameter dynamically by measuring interference levels across different bandwidths and selecting the optimal one. The processor compares interference levels in the maximum bandwidth versus reference bandwidths and determines a recommended bandwidth that balances data rate and interference, adjusting the parameter based on actual environmental conditions rather than using a fixed maximum.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The electronic device implements feedback by measuring actual interference levels in the environment and using this information to determine the recommended bandwidth. The processor receives capability information from external devices, measures interference across different bandwidths, and selects the optimal bandwidth based on this feedback, creating a closed-loop system that adapts to real-time environmental conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
