Wireless Peripheral Connection Polling Inactive Links
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless peripheral connection systems typically allow only a single computer to communicate with a breakout device via wireless video connections, leading to communication timeouts and disconnections for additional computers, limiting system functionality.
Innovation Solution
Establishing a plurality of wireless video connections between a computer and a breakout device, with at least one connection remaining inactive, and actively polling these inactive connections within a specified time interval to maintain their status and readiness for activation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If only a single wireless video connection is established between a computer and a breakout device, then the connection is stable and simple to manage, but additional computers cannot connect without causing communication timeouts and disconnections
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the connection management by creating multiple independent wireless video connections between different computers and the breakout device. Each connection is treated as a separate entity that can be independently managed, polled, and reactivated without affecting other connections, thereby enabling multiple computers to connect simultaneously while maintaining connection stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by establishing and maintaining inactive wireless video connections in advance. These connections are kept in a suspended state with periodic polling to maintain their status, so when a computer needs to connect, the connection is already prepared and can be quickly activated without timeout or disconnection issues.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple wireless video connections are established simultaneously, then multiple computers can connect to the breakout device, but inactive connections may timeout and disconnect
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements periodic action through a polling mechanism that periodically checks the status of inactive wireless video connections at specified time intervals. This periodic polling prevents the connections from timing out by maintaining their active status through regular communication, allowing multiple computers to connect without experiencing connection timeouts.
3Productivity
If inactive wireless video connections are maintained through polling, then connections remain ready for quick reactivation, but system resources are consumed for maintaining these connections
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies partial action by polling only the inactive wireless video connections at specified time intervals rather than continuously monitoring all connections. This selective polling maintains the necessary connections ready for quick reactivation while consuming minimal system resources, achieving a balance between reactivation speed and resource usage.
