Solution Overview

Problem

The final 500 feet of communication signal distribution to homes and small businesses is challenging due to the need for invasive installation, requiring penetration of structures and specialized labor, which is time-consuming and disruptive.

Innovation Solution

A wireless communication system using an outside transceiver to transmit signals through a building's perimeter to an inside transceiver, reducing the need for physical penetration and minimizing installation time and labor costs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If communication lines are installed by penetrating through foundation and perimeter walls, then reliable signal distribution is achieved, but property damage occurs and installation becomes time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesignal distribution reliabilityVSAvoidinstallation time

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces mechanical drilling and physical penetration of walls with a wireless communication system. The outside transceiver communicates wirelessly with the inside transceiver, eliminating the need for physical holes through foundations and walls, thereby reducing installation time while maintaining signal distribution reliability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an outside transceiver as an intermediary device positioned outside the building perimeter. This transceiver wirelessly transmits communication signals to an inside transceiver, serving as a mediator that eliminates the need for direct physical penetration through the building structure

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If communication lines are installed by drilling through walls, then signal distribution is achieved, but property damage and disruption to clients occur

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesignal distribution reliabilityVSAvoidproperty damage and client disruption

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The wireless communication system replaces mechanical drilling operations with electromagnetic signal transmission. The outside transceiver sends signals wirelessly to the inside transceiver, eliminating property damage from drilling while maintaining reliable signal distribution without disrupting clients

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The outside transceiver acts as an intermediary that enables signal distribution without direct physical contact with the building structure. By positioning the transceiver outside the perimeter and using wireless communication, the system avoids harmful effects on property and client disruption

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If traditional communication line installation is used, then signal distribution is achieved, but specialized labor and high installation costs are required

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesignal distribution reliabilityVSAvoidinstallation ease and cost

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces complex mechanical installation processes requiring specialized labor with a simplified wireless system. The outside and inside transceivers can be installed without drilling or penetrating walls, making installation easier and reducing labor costs while maintaining signal distribution reliability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

By introducing the outside transceiver as an intermediary, the system simplifies the installation process. Instead of running physical lines through walls requiring specialized skills, the wireless intermediary enables straightforward installation while maintaining reliable communication signal distribution

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

The invention comprises an outside transceiver relaying digital television, internet, and/or phone data from a provider through an exterior wall of a personal residence or building to an inside transceiver, the inside transceiver used to distribute the data to one or more interior devices. The outside transceiver is optionally a small, AC-powered, weatherproof, high-speed, high-bandwidth transceiver configured to transmit and/or receive physical and/or wireless connections with remote services, that is positioned outside of a structure and used to encrypt and/or transfer the data over a limited range through an exterior wall to the inside transceiver, which is a small AC-powered device configured to decrypt and distribute the received transmitted signal, such as wirelessly, via an HDMI port, via an Ethernet port, via a co-axial cable, via a fiber optic line, and/or to any Wi-Fi enabled device within a transmission range.
