Solution Overview

Problem

The creation of new Bluetooth profiles for implementing additional functions is complex and costly, requiring consideration of interoperability across all devices, which hinders the efficient integration of new functionalities.

Innovation Solution

A system utilizing a single first functional profile that allows a command issuing device to generate coded messages, enabling a command receiving device to execute multiple functions by modifying the profile's second part to activate different functions based on received coded messages, such as switching between a key search and a photo function.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a new Bluetooth profile is created to implement an additional function, then the function can be executed across all Bluetooth devices, but the development complexity and cost increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunction execution capabilityVSAvoidprofile creation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by enabling a single existing Bluetooth profile to execute multiple different functions through the execution unit. Instead of creating separate profiles for each function (key search, photo, video, etc.), the system allows one profile to universally handle various functions by interpreting different coded messages from the command issuing device, thereby reducing development complexity while maintaining versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If a new Bluetooth profile is created for each additional function, then each function can be properly implemented, but the development time and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of executable functionsVSAvoidprofile creation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The execution unit serves as a universal component that can interpret and execute multiple different coded messages corresponding to various functions (key search, photo, video, etc.) within a single profile framework. This eliminates the need to create separate profiles for each function, significantly reducing development time while maintaining the ability to execute multiple functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges multiple function-specific profiles into a single unified profile that handles key search, photo, video, and other functions through one execution unit. This consolidation combines what would traditionally require separate profile developments into one integrated solution, reducing both development time and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple profiles are used to implement different functions, then each function has dedicated support, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunction diversityVSAvoidprofile management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The execution unit acts as a universal interpreter that handles multiple function types (key search, photo, video, etc.) through a single profile. This eliminates the need for the system to manage multiple separate profiles, reducing profile management complexity while maintaining support for diverse functions through unified message interpretation and execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A system including at least a first command issuing device and at least one second command receiving device, each including a control unit and a short-range radio communication unit, the system configured to use at least a first functional profile allowing execution of a first function, the first profile allowing the first device to generate a first coded message, the first function being executed by the at least one second command receiving device upon receipt of the first coded message by the second device. The system is further configured such that the second command receiving device can execute a second function in response to receipt of the first coded message.
