Wireless Device Vendor Verification for Power-Efficient Connection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication devices often use a common communication protocol for connections, which may not meet the specific power-saving requirements of certain devices, leading to inefficiencies.
Innovation Solution
A wireless communication device and method that allow for the exchange and verification of vendor information, enabling devices to switch between different communication modes based on vendor compatibility, thereby optimizing power usage and connection efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a common communication protocol is used for all devices, then connection stability is improved, but power efficiency for specific devices deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The communication protocol is segmented into two parts: a common base protocol ensuring stability and vendor-specific extensions optimizing for particular device types. This allows devices to use the stable common protocol while optionally activating vendor-specific power-efficient modes when compatible vendors are detected.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication mode dynamically switches between common protocol and vendor-specific protocol based on vendor identification. Devices can adapt their communication behavior in real-time, selecting power-efficient vendor-specific modes when appropriate while falling back to the stable common protocol when needed.
2Use of energy by moving object
If vendor-specific communication modes are implemented, then power efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Vendor identification information is exchanged during the initial connection phase before full communication begins. This preliminary vendor verification allows devices to prepare and switch to appropriate communication modes in advance, avoiding the need for complex runtime decision-making and reducing overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The common communication protocol serves as a universal base that all devices can use, while vendor-specific extensions provide additional functionality only when needed. This multi-functional approach allows the system to handle both general and specific cases without requiring completely separate protocols for each device type.
3Adaptability or versatility
If vendor information verification is added, then communication optimization is improved, but connection establishment time increases
Solution Approach 1:
Vendor information verification is merged with the existing hand-shaking procedures of the common communication protocol. By combining these functions into a single integrated process, the system avoids the overhead of separate verification steps and reduces total connection establishment time while still achieving communication optimization.

AI summary
A wireless communication method includes the following operations: adding a data message of a vendor of a first wireless communication device to a frame of a packet through a physical layer; transmitting, by the first wireless communication device, the packet to a second wireless communication device; analyzing, by the second wireless communication device, the packet to obtain the data message; determining, by the second wireless communication device, whether both of the vendor of the first wireless communication device and a vendor of the second wireless communication device are a predetermined vendor according to the data message; if both of the vendor of the first wireless communication device and the vendor of the second wireless communication device are the predetermined vendor, performing, by the second wireless communication device, a specific communication mode of the predetermined vendor to connect to the first wireless communication device.
