Battery Pack Identity Broadcast for Automatic IoT Reconnection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The frequent replacement of battery packs in IoT devices necessitates repeated manual re-establishment of network connections, making operations cumbersome and inefficient.
Innovation Solution
A battery pack with a wireless communication module automatically broadcasts its connected terminal device's identity information, allowing an electronic device to automatically reconnect without user intervention upon replacement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a wireless communication module is arranged on the battery pack to enable wireless connections, then the need for wired connections is reduced and space restrictions are eliminated, but the cost increases due to each tool needing its own module
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by making the battery pack the universal platform that carries the wireless communication module. Instead of each tool having its own module, the battery pack serves multiple tools through a common interface, allowing one module to serve multiple functions across different devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The battery pack acts as an intermediary between the electronic device and the tool. It provides the wireless communication capability that bridges the gap, allowing the electronic device to communicate with tools that don't have built-in wireless modules by using the battery pack as a mediator.
2Duration of action of moving object
If the battery pack is frequently replaced during long-term operation, then the tool can continue operating, but the network connection must be re-established each time making operation cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-storing the terminal device's identification information in the battery pack's memory before replacement. This pre-stored information enables the electronic device to automatically recognize and reconnect to the battery pack without requiring manual reconfiguration after replacement.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service through automatic reconnection. The electronic device autonomously detects the battery pack replacement, retrieves the stored identification information, and automatically re-establishes the wireless connection without user intervention, making the system serve itself rather than requiring manual operation.
3Reliability
If manual re-establishment of network connection is required after battery pack replacement, then the connection can be re-established, but the operation becomes more cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The battery pack performs preliminary action by storing the terminal device's identification information in advance. This pre-stored data enables rapid automatic recognition and reconnection, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual re-establishment operations while maintaining connection reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback mechanisms where the battery pack broadcasts its presence and the electronic device detects this information. The stored identification information serves as feedback that confirms the correct battery pack is detected, enabling automatic verification and reconnection without time loss.

AI summary
The present invention provides an IoT system and a control method therefor. The IoT system comprises a battery pack provided with a connecting terminal and wireless communication module, a terminal device and an electronic device. The battery pack is configured to be capable of establishing an electrical connection and communication connection with the terminal device, and by means of the wireless communication module, can issue broadcast information comprising identity information of the terminal device. The electronic device is configured to be capable of receiving broadcast information, and can operably establish a wireless connection with the battery pack. The electronic device is further configured to be capable, in a state of having established a wireless connection, of storing identity information of the terminal device, and in a state of the wireless connection being broken, on the basis of the identity information in the received broadcast information matching the stored identity information, automatically establishes a wireless connection with the battery pack which issues broadcast information. According to the present invention, in a scenario in which a battery pack is replaced frequently, the electronic device is capable of automatically, by means of the replaced battery pack, wirelessly connecting to the terminal device connected to the battery pack.
