Solution Overview

Problem

Users face increased operational burden and reduced user experience due to the need for manual switching between connected and disconnected wireless connection states in wireless terminals.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that automatically detect the connection status of a wireless terminal to a bearer device, disconnecting or reconnecting the wireless data connection accordingly, utilizing modules for detection, disconnection, and reconnection, and incorporating a processor to manage these operations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual switching between connected and disconnected wireless connection states is implemented, then connection control is achieved, but user operation burden increases and user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewireless connection switching operationVSAvoidautomatic connection state switching
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The wireless terminal automatically detects connection status changes and switches connection states without user intervention. The terminal monitors whether it is connected to the bearer device and autonomously establishes or disconnects wireless data connections based on detection results, making the system serve itself rather than requiring manual user control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal implements a feedback mechanism by continuously detecting its connection status to the bearer device and using this information to automatically adjust the wireless connection state. The detection result feeds back to the connection management logic, which then triggers appropriate actions (establishment or disconnection) to maintain optimal connection state.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Extent of automation

If automatic detection and switching is implemented, then user operation burden is reduced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic connection state switchingVSAvoidconnection management system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The connection detection and connection management functions are merged into an integrated system within the wireless terminal. The terminal combines the bearer device connection status detection with the wireless data connection establishment/disconnection logic into a unified automated process, reducing the need for separate complex control mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal's existing detection and control capabilities are leveraged to provide self-service connection management. Rather than adding complex external control systems, the terminal uses its own detection modules and processing units to automatically manage connection states, keeping the added complexity minimal while achieving automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
