Solution Overview

Problem

Existing device registration methods in healthhouses require manual input of device information to a backstage server, leading to inefficiencies, data loss, and difficulties in achieving plug-and-play functionality, especially when devices are replaced.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for device registration that automatically detects device information, generates a unique serial number, and sends it to a server for registration, eliminating the need for manual input and enabling seamless device integration and data transfer.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual input of device information is used for device registration, then device registration can be completed, but the registration process is inefficient and prone to errors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice registration efficiencyVSAvoidtime for device registration
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The device automatically performs registration by detecting its own information and sending it to the server without requiring manual intervention. The device serves itself to complete the registration process, eliminating the need for operators to manually input device information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical input process with an automated electronic detection and transmission system. The terminal detects device information electronically and transmits it automatically to the server, substituting the manual writing or typing process with an automated digital system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If manual input of device information is used, then device registration can be completed, but data loss occurs and device replacement is difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accuracy in device registrationVSAvoiddevice replacement capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

When a device is replaced, the new device automatically detects its own information and sends it to the server for registration. The system self-updates the device information without requiring manual intervention, ensuring data accuracy and enabling seamless device replacement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The device registration system is designed to be dynamic and adaptive. When devices are replaced, the system automatically updates the device information in the server, allowing the system to adapt to changes in device configuration without manual reconfiguration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If device information is not pre-imported to the server, then device deployment is flexible, but the server cannot receive and process device data normally

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice deployment flexibilityVSAvoiddata processing capability of server
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The device information is automatically detected and sent to the server as a preliminary action before the device needs to process data. This automatic preliminary registration ensures the server has the necessary device information ready to receive and process data without requiring manual pre-importing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The manual process of pre-importing device information to the server is replaced with an automated electronic detection and transmission system. The terminal automatically detects device information and transmits it to the server, eliminating the need for manual data entry while ensuring the server can receive and process device data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
