Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication networks lack an efficient method to integrate and manage items that wirelessly transmit network identifiers and product identifiers, limiting their ability to provide targeted services and applications based on geographic location and product information.

Innovation Solution

A wireless communication network system that detects and processes network identifiers and product identifiers transmitted by items, using an Application Programming Interface (API) to select appropriate wireless network slices and distribute this information to associated Distributed Applications (dAPPs), enabling efficient integration and service delivery.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If wireless communication networks integrate items that wirelessly transmit identifiers, then service targeting and application delivery capability is improved, but network complexity and management difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice targeting capabilityVSAvoidnetwork management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the network into specialized wireless network slices, with dedicated slices for IoT devices, mobile broadband, and critical communications. Each slice is optimized for specific identifier types and service requirements, managing complexity through functional division while maintaining high adaptability for different item types and applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces API functions as intermediaries between identifier detection and service delivery. These API functions translate detected identifiers into appropriate service requests, mediating between the diverse item identifiers and the network services, thereby improving service targeting capability while abstracting away network management complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If the system detects and processes multiple identifier types from items, then information completeness is improved, but processing time and system response delay increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentifier information completenessVSAvoidservice delivery time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent pre-configures multiple wireless network slices before identifier detection occurs. When an item transmits its identifier, the system already has appropriate network paths and service functions ready, eliminating the need for real-time network configuration and reducing processing time while maintaining complete identifier information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different processing qualities to different identifier types based on their service requirements. Critical identifiers receive prioritized processing with dedicated network slices, while less critical identifiers use shared resources, optimizing the balance between information completeness and response time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A network controller authenticates receiver circuitry and transfers an Application Programming Interface (API) to the receiver circuitry. A wireless radio wirelessly detects a network identifier and a product identifier that were wirelessly transmitted by an item at a geographic location.Based on the network identifier, the receiver circuitry selects the API that is associated with a wireless network slice. Based on the selected API, the receiver circuitry generates an API call that indicates the product identifier and the geographic location for the item. The receiver circuitry transfers the API call the wireless network slice. The wireless network slice receives the API call from the receiver circuitry. The wireless network slice selects an application that is associated with the item based on the product identifier. The wireless network slice transfers the product identifier and the geographic location for the item to selected application.
