Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple wireless direct functions are provided to enable various direct communication methods, then communication versatility is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit automatically determines which wireless direct function to operate based on the frequency band being used. When the 6 GHz band is detected, it automatically selects the second wireless direct function without requiring user intervention or manual configuration, thereby reducing operational complexity while maintaining versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes its operational parameters by selecting different wireless direct functions based on the frequency band. The control unit monitors the frequency band parameter and switches between first and second wireless direct functions accordingly, enabling adaptive behavior that simplifies user interaction while providing multiple communication capabilities.
2Ease of operation
If automatic control of wireless direct functions is implemented based on frequency band, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit is pre-programmed with the logic to automatically select the appropriate wireless direct function based on the frequency band. This preliminary configuration of control logic eliminates the need for users to manually configure settings, significantly improving ease of operation while the complexity is contained within the pre-established control unit architecture.
3Speed
If wireless direct communication is enabled in 6 GHz band, then communication speed is improved, but compatibility with existing standards decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically selects between different wireless direct functions based on the frequency band. When operating in the 6 GHz band, it activates the second wireless direct function optimized for high-speed communication, while maintaining the capability to use the first wireless direct function for better compatibility in other bands, thus achieving dynamic adaptation between speed and compatibility requirements.

AI summary
A communication apparatus including a wireless direct function to perform direct wireless communication with a peer device without an external access point includes at least one memory storing a program and at least one processor that, upon execution of the stored program, is configured to operate the wireless direct function of a first method, operate the wireless direct function of a second method including a connection process different from a connection process of the wireless direct function of the first method, communicate with the peer device via the external access point, and perform control to operate the wireless direct function of the second method but not the first method when the third execution unit performs communication in a 6 GHz band.
