Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication systems in Zigbee Personal Area Networks (PANs) require centralized data management, limiting user flexibility in creating and transferring User Created Contents (UCC) such as advertisements, multimedia, and text messages, as users need peripheral devices or PCs to access and transmit data.

Innovation Solution

A mobile communication terminal equipped with a Zigbee communication module, context engine, and controller that extracts tags from contents data to generate profile information, allowing for broadcasting of profile and contents data, enabling users to edit and transfer UCC independently within a specific space.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If centralized data management is used in Zigbee PAN, then data storage and access control are simplified, but user flexibility in creating and transferring User Created Contents is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser flexibility in creating and transferring UCCVSAvoiddata management architecture
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the centralized data management architecture into distributed data storage across multiple mobile terminals. Each terminal can independently store and manage UCC locally, eliminating the single-point bottleneck while maintaining data accessibility through peer-to-peer communication within the Zigbee PAN.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism where mobile terminals act as both clients and servers, enabling direct data transfer between users without requiring external peripheral devices or PCs. This intermediary capability allows users to optionally edit and transfer UCC flexibly while maintaining simplified access control through built-in authentication protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If peripheral devices or PCs are required to access data, then centralized control is maintained, but user convenience and accessibility are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenience and accessibilityVSAvoidrequired peripheral devices
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements multi-functionality by enabling mobile terminals to perform both client and server roles simultaneously. Each terminal equipped with Zigbee communication module can independently access, store, and transfer data without requiring external peripheral devices, thus improving ease of operation while reducing device complexity requirements.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables self-service capability where mobile terminals automatically manage data access and transfer operations. Users can directly edit and transfer UCC using their own terminals without needing external assistance from PCs or peripheral devices, thereby enhancing user convenience and accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If users can optionally edit and transfer UCC independently, then user flexibility is improved, but data management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser ability to edit and transfer UCCVSAvoiddata transmission and management system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic data management where the system architecture adapts based on user needs. Mobile terminals can dynamically switch between data creation, storage, and transfer modes, allowing users to optionally edit and transfer UCC independently while the system automatically manages the complexity through adaptive protocol selection and resource allocation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
