Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless devices do not optimize data access based on the speed of the wireless network connection or the type of data being sent or received, leading to inefficient data transfer and increased network overhead.

Innovation Solution

Implementing software applications that allow for the setting and management of access criteria for wireless devices, enabling them to control the type and amount of data sent or received based on the connection speed and data type, by formulating queries and modifying data transmission accordingly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If wireless devices transfer all data types without filtering, then complete information is received, but network overhead increases and wait time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata completenessVSAvoidwait time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the necessary data portions based on access criteria and data type classifications. The system identifies and retrieves only relevant data elements from the network, excluding unnecessary data, thereby reducing wait time while maintaining data completeness for essential information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different data transfer qualities and levels of detail based on local conditions such as connection speed, data type, and access criteria. Critical data receives full transfer priority while less critical data is selectively omitted or compressed, optimizing the balance between completeness and time efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If wireless devices download complete files regardless of connection speed, then data integrity is maintained, but network bandwidth is wasted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata integrityVSAvoidnetwork bandwidth
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent dynamically changes data transfer parameters including data type classification, access criteria thresholds, and transfer completeness requirements based on connection speed measurements. This allows the system to maintain data integrity for critical parameters while reducing bandwidth consumption for non-critical data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial data transfer actions based on connection capabilities. When bandwidth is limited, only essential data portions are transferred rather than complete files, maintaining sufficient data integrity for functional use while conserving network resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Ease of operation

If network caches large files for slow connections, then user access is enabled, but network overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser accessVSAvoidnetwork overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary classification of data by type and importance before transfer, and pre-establishes access criteria based on connection characteristics. This preliminary organization enables efficient data retrieval and transfer without requiring extensive network caching infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Loss of information

If wireless devices send all data types without filtering, then complete information is transmitted, but transmission time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidtransmission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and transmits only the essential information elements required for the communication purpose, filtering out redundant or non-critical data. This extraction process maintains information completeness for essential content while significantly improving transmission efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments data into different types and priority levels, allowing selective transmission of critical segments while deferring or omitting less important segments. This segmentation enables efficient use of transmission resources while preserving essential information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
