Solution Overview

Problem

The increasing mobility of wireless devices poses challenges for networks in providing effective services, as existing technologies struggle to efficiently manage and analyze the vast amount of wireless signals from various devices, leading to complexities in delivering new and better services.

Innovation Solution

A wireless name system (WNS) is introduced, which includes a registry, an application programming interface (API), and a data management platform that receives, stores, analyzes, and acts upon information from wireless enabled devices (WEDs), using wireless identifiers to segment devices into groups and subgroups based on common criteria such as frequency of detection and geolocation, enabling targeted advertising and content delivery.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If wireless devices are deployed to provide services to mobile users, then service coverage and accessibility are improved, but network complexity and difficulty in managing wireless signals increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that receives wireless signals from multiple wireless signal detectors, processes the data, and manages the registry datastore. This intermediary architecture allows the system to handle complex wireless device management tasks centrally, reducing the complexity burden on individual detectors and enabling broader service coverage without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If wireless signal detectors monitor and detect wireless identifiers, then device tracking and pattern awareness are improved, but data processing complexity and computational requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice tracking accuracyVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data processing tasks by distributing wireless signal detection to multiple independent wireless signal detectors, while centralizing the complex data processing, analysis, and pattern recognition tasks on a server. This segmentation allows detectors to focus on simple signal reception and forwarding, while the server handles the computationally intensive tasks of data processing and analysis, thereby improving tracking accuracy without overwhelming individual devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The server acts as an intermediary that receives raw wireless identifier data from multiple detectors, processes this data through structured operations (querying, updating, generating records), and produces refined output. This intermediary processing layer simplifies the computational burden on detectors while enabling sophisticated pattern awareness and device tracking capabilities through centralized data analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If a registry system stores and manages wireless identifier data, then information retrieval and targeted advertising are improved, but system resource requirements and operational complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation retrieval efficiencyVSAvoidsystem operational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The registry system implemented in the patent serves multiple functions: storing wireless identifier data, enabling pattern awareness analysis, supporting proximal deduction, facilitating targeted advertising, and providing information retrieval. By designing a universal registry that handles diverse operations through a unified data structure and interface, the system improves information retrieval efficiency across multiple applications without proportionally increasing operational complexity for each specific function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
