Analysis Apparatus Parameter Setting via Relay Medium
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing analysis apparatus requires cumbersome user input for setting parameters and user authentication, which can lead to errors, and the integration of communication functions increases product and operational costs, while compromising data confidentiality.
Innovation Solution
The apparatus uses a relay medium, such as a contactless IC chip or two-dimensional code, to convert and record parameters and user information in a specific format, allowing for import and decoding without a keyboard, enabling setting and authentication without communication functions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If parameters are manually input through keyboard before measurement work, then the analysis apparatus can be operated, but the operation becomes troublesome and user errors increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring all necessary measurement parameters, application programs, and user authentication credentials in a relay medium before the measurement work begins. The user simply needs to import this pre-prepared data package, eliminating the need for manual parameter input and reducing errors.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a relay medium as an intermediary that stores and transfers parameter sets, application programs, and user authentication information. This intermediary eliminates the need for direct manual input through keyboard, serving as a bridge between the user and the analysis apparatus parameter settings.
2Adaptability or versatility
If communication function is integrated into the analysis apparatus to obtain application programs from cloud system, then the user can access remote resources, but product cost and operational cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the communication function from the analysis apparatus itself and relocates it to an external relay medium (such as a smartphone or portable device). The analysis apparatus only needs basic data import capability, while the relay medium handles all communication with the cloud system for downloading application programs and parameter sets.
Solution Approach 2:
The relay medium serves as an intermediary between the cloud system and the analysis apparatus. It downloads application programs and parameter sets from the cloud, then transfers them to the analysis apparatus through simple data import, eliminating the need for the analysis apparatus to have built-in communication functionality.
3Reliability
If user authentication is implemented through keyboard input of ID and password, then data confidentiality is protected, but the authentication process becomes troublesome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring user authentication credentials (user IDs, passwords, and group information) in the relay medium before the measurement work. During authentication, the system automatically retrieves these pre-stored credentials and submits them, eliminating the need for users to manually type passwords and reducing authentication errors.
4Adaptability or versatility
If multiple parameter settings are required for different measurement types, then the analysis apparatus can handle various measurements, but the setting operation becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple parameter settings, application programs, and user authentication information into a single integrated data package stored in the relay medium. Each data package corresponds to a specific measurement type and contains all necessary configuration elements, allowing users to import a complete set of parameters with a single operation rather than configuring each parameter individually.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring complete parameter sets for different measurement types in the relay medium before the measurement work begins. Users can select and import the appropriate pre-configured parameter set based on their measurement needs, eliminating the time-consuming process of manual parameter configuration.

AI summary
The analysis apparatus according to the present invention is capable of setting parameters and user authentication, which do not require key input. When a specific analysis apparatus is set so as to measure a specific type of data, a plurality of required parameters are converted to data having a format suitable for a relay medium and the converted data is recorded in the relay medium. An importing unit imports the plurality of parameters from the relay medium. A restoration unit is used to obtain, from the imported parameters, each parameter in the pre-conversion format thereof. The individual obtained parameters are transferred to a setting unit and set to a required setting destination. This being the case, the replay medium is created according to the support from a management device of a manufacturer and a repeater.
