Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless transmission systems face challenges in optimizing data rate and transmission distance when multiple transmitting ends transmit data to receiving ends at different distances, leading to uneven data reception and potential security loopholes, as they cannot accurately adjust transmission power to account for varying distances and power distribution among multiple receiving ends.

Innovation Solution

A wireless transmission system comprising a main wireless apparatus with a data rate analyzer and a master controller, which detects data rates between the main and secondary wireless apparatuses and adjusts transmission power to optimize data rate and transmission distance, ensuring all receiving ends receive data at a standard rate while conserving power by decreasing power to higher-rate transmitters and increasing power to lower-rate transmitters.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the transmitting end transmits data by the same power to all receiving ends, then the transmission power distribution is simple and uniform, but the data rate and signal reception quality become uneven when receiving ends are at different distances

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission power distributionVSAvoiddata reception quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by assigning different transmission powers to different wireless modules based on their specific transmission distances and data rate requirements. Each wireless module's power is individually adjusted according to its local conditions (distance and data rate), rather than using a uniform power distribution, thereby optimizing signal reception quality for each receiving end.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamics by making the transmission power adjustable and adaptive. The master controller dynamically adjusts the transmission power of each wireless module based on real-time distance measurements and data rate detections, allowing the system to adapt to changing transmission conditions and maintain reliable data reception.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Length of stationary object

If the transmitting end increases transmission power to extend transmission distance, then the signal reception quality improves, but the power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission distanceVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by adjusting the transmission power parameter based on the actual transmission distance and data rate requirements. Instead of using a fixed high power setting, the system dynamically modifies the power parameter to match the needed transmission distance, thereby extending range when necessary while minimizing power consumption when possible.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by continuously monitoring the data rate and transmission conditions, then using this information to adjust the transmission power. The master controller receives feedback about signal quality and distance, and accordingly modifies the power output to achieve optimal transmission distance with minimal power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Device complexity

If the manufacturers assume equal transmission power for all wireless modules, then the device complexity is reduced, but the system cannot adapt to different transmission distances and data rate requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower distribution controlVSAvoidtransmission distance adaptation
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-equipping each wireless module with the capability for independent power control and by implementing a master controller that can manage multiple modules. This preliminary setup allows the system to adapt to different transmission distances and data rate requirements without adding complex hardware, as the control infrastructure is already in place.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements universality by designing a master controller that can manage multiple wireless modules with different transmission characteristics. The system provides a universal control mechanism that adapts to various transmission scenarios (different distances, different data rate requirements) through a single integrated control architecture, avoiding the need for separate control systems for each module.

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