Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing connection setting methods for wireless devices, such as network printers, are complex and time-consuming, requiring repeated manual input of parameters for successful connection, which is inconvenient for users due to compatibility issues across different manufacturers.
Innovation Solution
A connection setting method using a barcode pattern where one device generates a barcode with connection parameters and another device captures and decodes it to automatically perform the connection settings, reducing the need for manual input and simplifying the process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual connection setting is used for each user equipment, then connection parameters can be accurately configured, but the connection setting process becomes complicated and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device performs connection settings in advance and stores the configured connection parameters. When other user equipment needs to connect, they can directly obtain these pre-configured parameters through barcode scanning, eliminating the need for repeated manual configuration and significantly reducing connection setting time while maintaining parameter accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection parameters are copied from the electronic device to other user equipment through barcode transmission. Instead of manually re-entering parameters, user equipment captures the barcode containing the connection information and automatically obtains the parameters, thereby reducing both time consumption and manual operations while ensuring parameter consistency.
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual input of connection parameters is required for each device, then connection settings can be customized, but the operation process becomes complex and inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device automatically generates and outputs a barcode containing its connection parameters. Other user equipment can independently scan this barcode and automatically obtain the connection settings, eliminating the need for users to manually input parameters or navigate complex setting interfaces, thereby significantly improving operational convenience while preserving connection adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
A barcode serves as an intermediary carrier between the electronic device and user equipment. The connection parameters are encoded into the barcode, which acts as a medium to transfer configuration information automatically. This intermediary mechanism simplifies the interaction process while maintaining the ability to convey comprehensive connection settings.
3Reliability
If repeated connection settings are performed for multiple user equipment, then each device can be properly configured, but the process becomes time-consuming and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device pre-configures connection parameters and stores them for reuse. When multiple user equipment need to connect, they all obtain the same pre-configured parameters through barcode scanning, eliminating the need to repeat the configuration process for each device. This maintains configuration reliability while dramatically improving efficiency when connecting multiple devices.

AI summary
A connection setting method using a barcode pattern, a connection setting system and user equipment (UE) thereof are provided. The method includes the following steps. A connection application is installed in each of at least two pieces of UE respectively. First UE performs setting for connecting to an electronic device by a default mode and generates the barcode pattern accordingly. Then, an image capture unit of second UE is activated to capture the barcode pattern. The barcode pattern is analyzed by the connection application of the second UE, so as to obtain a plurality of parameters of connection setting in regard to the electronic device. Connection setting is performed automatically according to the parameters, such that the second UE connects to the electronic device and performs data transmission.
