Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple cable lines are used to connect peripherals and user input devices to multiple host computers, then reliable connections are established, but the assembling complexity and occupied space are increased
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple cable connections into a single wireless communication channel by using a communication dongle that aggregates data from multiple host computers and transmits it through one wireless connection to a terminal device, thereby reducing assembling complexity while maintaining connection reliability
2Reliability
If multiple cable lines are used to connect peripherals and user input devices to multiple host computers, then reliable connections are established, but the occupied space is increased
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple physical cable connections into a single wireless communication stream, eliminating the need for multiple cable routes and reducing the occupied space in the system while maintaining reliable connections through the communication dongle's data aggregation capability
3Device complexity
If a communication dongle is used to simultaneously connect multiple peripherals and user input devices to a host device, then the assembling complexity is simplified, but communication between multiple host devices is not enabled
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enhances the communication dongle's functionality to serve multiple host computers simultaneously by enabling it to aggregate data from different hosts and transmit it to a terminal device, thereby achieving multi-host communication capability while maintaining simplified assembly
4Ease of operation
If control switching between host computers is implemented via a communication dongle, then user experience is enhanced, but additional software and signal interception mechanisms are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a communication dongle as an intermediary device that mediates between multiple host computers and the terminal device, handling control switching and signal routing through its aggregation and transmission functions, thereby enhancing user experience while concentrating the software complexity in a single component

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a wireless communication system including a first host computer, a communication dongle, a second host computer and an input device. The communication dongle is connected to the first host computer via a USB interface, connected to the second host computer via a Bluetooth interface, and connected to the input device via a wireless interface. The first host computer has first application software for intercepting the operating signal(s) of the input device and transferring, via the communication dongle, to the second host computer to be executed thereby. The first application software also controls the first host computer to ignore the operating signal(s) during the operating signal(s) is being transferred to the second host computer.
