Wireless Communication Mode Switching for Weak Chip Performance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices with weak wireless chips face challenges in simultaneously operating multiple communication functions such as wireless infrastructure, WFD R1, and WFD R2, leading to performance degradation.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device is designed to enable either a first or a second version of direct communication methods while disabling the first communication method, thereby limiting simultaneous functions to two, ensuring optimal performance even with low processing capability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If wireless infrastructure, WFD R1, and WFD R2 are operated in parallel, then communication versatility is improved, but device performance deteriorates due to weak wireless chip processing capability
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the number of simultaneous communication functions based on the operational state of the first communication method. When the first communication method is enabled, only one version of the second communication method is allowed; when it is disabled, both versions can operate simultaneously. This dynamic configuration resolves the contradiction by adapting system behavior to current operational conditions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple communication functions are simultaneously activated, then communication coverage is improved, but processing load increases causing performance degradation in weak wireless chips
Solution Approach 1:
The system allows partial activation of communication functions by limiting the maximum number of simultaneously operable functions to two. This partial action approach ensures that the wireless chip is not overloaded while still providing adequate communication coverage through selective activation of appropriate functions based on operational needs.

AI summary
An electronic device having a communication device capable of communication using a first communication method of wirelessly communicating with an external device via an external access point, and communication using a second communication method of wirelessly communicating directly with an external device without going through an external access point. The electronic device enables both a first version and a second version of the second communication method in a case where the communication using the second communication method is enabled while the first communication method is disabled, and enables one of the first version and the second version of the second communication method in a case where the communication using the second communication method is enabled while the first communication method is enabled.
