Solution Overview
Problem
Existing automatic network connection and disconnection technologies often result in erroneous connections due to signal strength, leading to inconvenience for users when they intend to connect to a specific device within a geographical region.
Innovation Solution
An automatic connection and disconnection system that uses peripheral devices to form a geographical region, sending identification signals, and a determining device to locate the electronic device's position based on signal intensity, ensuring accurate connection only when the device is within the intended region.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If automatic connection is established based on signal strength, then connection convenience is improved, but connection accuracy deteriorates causing erroneous connections
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the connection decision process into two independent parts: (1) signal strength measurement for detecting connecting devices, and (2) position verification by checking whether the electronic device is located within the geographical region formed by peripheral devices. This segmentation allows the system to maintain automatic connection convenience while adding position-based accuracy verification to prevent erroneous connections.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary verification mechanism (geographical region position check) between signal detection and connection establishment. The determining device acts as an intermediary that validates whether the electronic device's position, derived from signal intensity measurements of multiple peripheral devices, falls within the expected geographical region before allowing connection to proceed.
2Speed
If connection is established to the closest device, then connection speed is improved, but connection reliability deteriorates due to wrong device selection
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary position verification before establishing the connection. By calculating the electronic device's position based on signal intensities from multiple peripheral devices and verifying it lies within the geographical region, the system ensures the correct device is selected before connection occurs, maintaining speed while improving reliability.
3Extent of automation
If signal intensity measurement is used for location determination, then automation level is improved, but measurement precision deteriorates due to signal interference
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges measurements from multiple peripheral devices to determine the electronic device's position. By combining signal intensity data from at least three peripheral devices forming a geographical region, the system achieves more precise and reliable position determination than would be possible with a single device, reducing the impact of signal interference while maintaining high automation.

AI summary
An automatic connection and disconnection system and an automatic connection and disconnection method are provided. The method includes the following steps. A connection signal sent by an electronic device is received by a determining device. The connection signal includes intensity information obtained from measuring at least three identification signals by the electronic device. The at least three identification signals are from at least three peripheral devices, and the at least three peripheral devices are placed to form a geographical region. Also, a first position of the electronic device is located by the determining device according to the connection signal. Next, whether the first position is within the geographical region is determined by the determining device. When the first position is within the geographical region, the electronic device is communicatively connected to a connecting device. The connecting device is located within or outside the geographical region.
