Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication devices face challenges in maintaining proper interactive operation between main and auxiliary electronic devices, especially when they are separated by a significant distance, as they often require cables for connection and may not function properly without direct proximity.

Innovation Solution

A communication service operating system that includes a main electronic device, an auxiliary electronic device, a service supporting device, and communication networks, enabling communication service data transmission between them through established communication channels, regardless of distance, using both direct and indirect modes of data transfer via short-range communication modules and network communication modules.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If cable connection is used to connect electronic device and accessory device, then reliable communication can be achieved, but the devices must be located within a predetermined distance and the operation becomes inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoiddevice portability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical cable connection system with wireless communication systems (Bluetooth, WiFi, cellular networks). The main electronic device and auxiliary electronic device establish communication channels without physical cables, using radio frequency transmission instead of mechanical connectors. This substitution eliminates the distance constraint while maintaining communication reliability.

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

2Ease of operation

If wireless communication is used to extend operating distance, then device mobility is improved, but communication stability may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice mobilityVSAvoidcommunication stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements multi-functionality by equipping electronic devices with multiple communication modules supporting different protocols (Bluetooth, WiFi, cellular). The system can automatically select or switch between communication channels based on environmental conditions, distance, and service requirements. This multi-channel capability ensures communication stability while maintaining device mobility across various scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Speed

If direct connection mode is used, then communication speed is fast, but the devices must maintain close proximity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission speedVSAvoiddevice separation distance
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSLength of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces network infrastructure (base stations, access points, servers) as intermediaries in the communication path. When direct device-to-device connection is not feasible due to distance, data can be transmitted through these intermediary nodes. This mediator approach enables long-distance communication while maintaining efficient data transmission speeds by utilizing optimized network routes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
