Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical wired connection system with a wireless communication system. Wireless devices with integrated wireless chips communicate via electromagnetic signals instead of physical cable connections, eliminating the need for manual cable setup, connection, and maintenance while maintaining reliable data transmission between datacenter components.

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

2Reliability

If wired datacenter networks are used, then stable physical connections are achieved, but disruption from loose connections or faulty cables requiring on-site support increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvephysical connection stabilityVSAvoiddowntime due to physical issues
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent eliminates mechanical cable connections and replaces them with wireless electromagnetic communication. This substitution removes the source of physical connection issues such as loose cables, faulty connectors, and cable damage, thereby preventing the downtime and on-site support requirements that arise from these physical failures.

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

3Ease of operation

If hierarchical switching structure is used for wireless communication in datacenters, then organization and routing capability are improved, but data flow bottlenecks in certain systems increase

Engineering Contradiction:
