Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems lack efficient methods for secure and seamless information sharing and synchronization across multiple mobile wireless devices and servers, particularly in managing privacy and access control within share groups.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a wireless architecture that includes a group coordinator and wireless servers capable of managing and securing information dissemination among mobile devices, utilizing secure communication channels, unique identifiers, and privacy states to control access and sharing of informational content across multiple servers and devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If wireless servers route information through external domain servers, then information can be exchanged between different domains, but information security and privacy control are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation exchange capabilityVSAvoidinformation security
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a domain server as an intermediary that enables information exchange between wireless servers of different domains without requiring direct peer-to-peer connections. The domain server acts as a trusted mediator that receives information from one wireless server, validates it against privacy policies, and forwards it to the appropriate wireless server in another domain. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining security through the intermediary while enabling versatile information exchange.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If wireless servers implement strict privacy control and access management, then information security is improved, but information sharing efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprivacy controlVSAvoidinformation sharing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by establishing privacy policies, access control rules, and authentication mechanisms before information exchange occurs. Wireless servers pre-configure their privacy requirements and domain server forwarding rules in advance. When information needs to be shared, the pre-established policies are automatically applied, eliminating the need for real-time security negotiations and significantly improving sharing efficiency while maintaining strict privacy control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Speed

If wireless servers establish direct peer-to-peer communication channels, then information sharing speed is improved, but system complexity and security management increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation sharing speedVSAvoidcommunication architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses domain servers as intermediaries that simplify the communication architecture. Instead of requiring every wireless server to establish direct peer-to-peer connections with every other wireless server (which would create exponential complexity), information is routed through domain servers that manage the connections. This maintains relatively fast information sharing while dramatically reducing system complexity and centralizing security management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Reliability

If wireless servers implement comprehensive access control policies, then privacy protection is improved, but processing overhead and latency increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprivacy protectionVSAvoidprocessing latency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-evaluating and caching access control decisions. When a wireless server wants to share information, the domain server checks pre-established privacy policies and access rules that were configured in advance. For commonly accessed information, the access decisions are cached, avoiding repeated policy evaluations. This maintains comprehensive privacy protection while significantly reducing processing latency compared to real-time policy evaluation for every information exchange.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
