Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of digital devices face inconvenience when trying to install remote control applications to connect and control peripheral devices, as they must manually search and download these applications, which can be cumbersome, especially for those not familiar with device control functions.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that enable a TV device to detect system information from a mobile terminal, create a list of executable connection programs, and transmit this list to the mobile terminal, allowing for automatic installation of necessary connection programs, including updates, by using a communication unit and program detecting unit.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a user manually accesses an application providing site to search, purchase, and install a remote control application, then the application can be installed in the digital device, but the process becomes inconvenient and time-consuming for users not accustomed to device control functions
Solution Approach 1:
The TV device performs preliminary actions by automatically detecting the mobile terminal's system information, creating a filtered list of executable connection programs, and transmitting this list to the mobile terminal before the user needs to install anything. This eliminates the need for users to manually search, purchase, and install applications, directly resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and time consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by allowing the TV device to autonomously identify compatible connection programs based on received system information and automatically transmit the appropriate program list to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal then automatically installs the necessary connection program without requiring user intervention in the search and installation process, thereby improving ease of operation while reducing time loss.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the TV device provides all connection programs to all mobile terminals, then compatibility is maximized, but the data transmission volume and processing complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The TV device applies local quality by customizing the connection program list according to the specific system information of each mobile terminal. Instead of providing a universal list to all devices, the system filters and transmits only the programs that are executable on the specific terminal based on its OS version, processor architecture, and other system characteristics. This maintains high adaptability while reducing the complexity of program list management by transmitting only relevant programs.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes parameters by dynamically filtering the connection program list based on the mobile terminal's system information parameters (OS version, processor type, memory capacity, etc.). The TV device adjusts the program list according to these parameters, ensuring compatibility while managing data transmission volume and processing complexity efficiently.
