Automatic Application Launch in Short-Range Wireless Systems
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current short-range wireless systems require manual selection and launch of applications when pairing wireless devices or accessories, which is tedious and disrupts continuous entertainment experiences when moving between locations.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for automatically launching applications on a wireless device when paired with a client device, using authentication and key exchange protocols to associate and launch applications seamlessly across different locations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual application selection and launch is used when pairing wireless devices, then application control and security are maintained, but user operation complexity and time consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-establishes application associations between device profiles during initial pairing. When devices are paired, the target application is automatically selected and launched based on pre-configured associations stored in the devices, eliminating the need for manual application selection and reducing operational steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The wireless devices automatically perform application selection and launch based on their own stored profile associations when pairing occurs. The system serves itself by autonomously determining which application to launch without requiring user intervention, while still maintaining security through pre-established trust relationships.
2Productivity
If manual application launch is required when pairing devices, then application security and user control are preserved, but continuous entertainment experience across locations is disrupted
Solution Approach 1:
Application associations are pre-configured in device profiles during initial setup. When a user moves to a new location and pairs with a different device, the system automatically retrieves and launches the associated application based on pre-established profiles, ensuring continuous entertainment without manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adapts to different locations and devices while maintaining entertainment continuity. Device profiles and application associations are flexible and can be updated as users move between locations, allowing the system to automatically launch appropriate applications on different devices based on current context.
3Loss of time
If multiple manual steps are required for application launch (password entry, select application, launch application, choose playlist), then security and user control are maintained, but operation time and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
All application selection, password authentication, and configuration steps are performed in advance during initial device pairing. The system stores these decisions in device profiles, so when devices are paired later, the application is automatically launched with pre-configured settings, reducing the process to a single pairing action.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple separate operations (password entry, application selection, launch, playlist choice) are merged into a single automated process. The system combines these discrete steps into one unified automatic application launch sequence triggered by device pairing, significantly reducing the number of user interactions required.

AI summary
Method, device and computer readable storage medium for managing applications on a wireless device by providing applications on the wireless device. The wireless device is used in a short-range wireless system with an effective range. The wireless device and a client device are brought into proximity and thereby into the effective range of the short-range wireless system. The wireless device and the client device are connected and associated. The application is associated with the client device. The application is then automatically launched on the wireless device.
