Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication devices can only connect to a single type of wireless network, lacking the ability to seamlessly switch between different types of wireless networks, such as LAN and PAN, upon disconnection, which limits their functionality and user convenience.
Innovation Solution
A wireless communication device equipped with a detection section to identify network disconnections and a storage system for multiple types of wireless setting data, allowing it to automatically reconnect to the last connected network type or switch to an alternative network if the primary one is unavailable, using an obtaining section to acquire identifiers from nearby access points or terminal devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the wireless communication device stores multiple types of wireless setting data for different network types, then the adaptability to reconnect after disconnection is improved, but the device complexity increases due to multiple storage sections and reconnection logic
Solution Approach 1:
The storage is divided into multiple storage sections, with each section dedicated to storing wireless setting data for a specific type of wireless network. This segmentation allows the device to efficiently manage and retrieve appropriate network settings based on the detected network type, resolving the contradiction by organizing complexity in a structured manner while maintaining high adaptability
Solution Approach 2:
The device pre-stores wireless setting data for multiple network types in separate storage sections before disconnection occurs. When disconnection is detected, the device can immediately retrieve and use the pre-stored settings for the detected network type without requiring manual reconfiguration, thus improving reconnection capability while keeping the control logic manageable through advance preparation
2Ease of operation
If the device automatically detects and reconnects to available networks, then user convenience is improved, but the loss of time for network identification and selection increases
Solution Approach 1:
Wireless setting data including network identifiers and connection parameters are pre-stored in multiple storage sections corresponding to different network types. When disconnection is detected, the device quickly identifies the current network type and retrieves the corresponding pre-stored settings, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual configuration or extensive network scanning, thus achieving fast automatic reconnection
Solution Approach 2:
The device creates and stores copies of wireless setting data for multiple network types in separate storage sections. These copies contain all necessary connection information, allowing the device to rapidly replicate the connection process for the detected network type without requiring real-time network parameter negotiation or manual input, thereby reducing reconnection time while maintaining ease of operation

AI summary
A wireless communication device communicable with a first type and a second type of networks based on a first type and a second type wireless setting data respectively, includes: an obtaining section obtaining an identifier of an access point when a detection section detects the disconnection with the second type network through a certain access point; and a trial section trying to connect with the second type network through the certain access point if at least one second type wireless setting data stored in the second storage includes the obtained identifier, and the trial section trying to connect with the first type network through the certain access point any of the second type wireless setting data stored in the second storage does not includes the obtained identifier but the first type wireless setting data stored in the first storage includes the obtained identifier.
