Solution Overview

Problem

Edge servers in non-standard environments often lack wired network interfaces, making it difficult to access networks, which is a significant challenge in the rapidly developing industrial internet.

Innovation Solution

A wireless communication module is integrated into servers, using a carrier to electrically couple wireless communication units, such as LTE or 5G, and Wi-Fi, directly to the server, allowing network access without wired cables, and includes temperature and positioning units for monitoring and data exchange.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If edge servers are deployed in nonstandard environments without wired network interfaces, then server deployment flexibility is improved, but network accessibility deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveserver deployment flexibilityVSAvoidnetwork accessibility

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a wireless communication module as an intermediary device that bridges the server and wireless network. This module includes wireless communication units (LTE/5G, Wi-Fi) that enable the server to access networks wirelessly through standardized interfaces, resolving the contradiction between deployment flexibility and network accessibility reliability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If wireless communication units are directly integrated into servers, then network access without cables is achieved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenetwork access convenienceVSAvoidserver structure complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the wireless communication functionality into a separate, standardized module that interfaces with the server through standard buses (PCIe, USB). This modular approach allows network access convenience to be achieved while managing device complexity through standardized, replaceable components rather than custom integrated solutions

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple wireless communication units are integrated into a single module, then adaptability to different network environments is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenetwork environment adaptabilityVSAvoidmodule manufacturing complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal wireless communication module that can support multiple wireless standards (LTE, 5G, Wi-Fi) through standardized interfaces and bus connections. This multi-functional design achieves network environment adaptability while managing manufacturing complexity through standardized component integration and modular architecture

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
