Solution Overview

Problem

Existing Bluetooth-automatic authentication functions primarily facilitate convenient connections between Bluetooth terminals but lack the ability to provide users with varied conveniences and adapt user interfaces (UIs) based on authenticated terminals.

Innovation Solution

An apparatus and method that automatically converts the UI of a terminal by setting terminal IDs for authentication and storing corresponding UI configuration information, allowing the UI to be automatically updated when a preset terminal is authenticated, thereby reflecting the preset UI configuration information onto the current UI.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If Bluetooth-automatic authentication function is implemented, then connection convenience between Bluetooth terminals is improved, but user interface adaptability and customization capability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection convenienceVSAvoiduser interface adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-stores multiple UI configuration information sets corresponding to different terminal IDs in the memory unit before authentication occurs. When automatic authentication succeeds, the controller directly retrieves and applies the pre-configured UI settings, enabling rapid interface adaptation without requiring real-time configuration or user intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system establishes a feedback mechanism where the authentication result triggers automatic retrieval of corresponding UI configuration information. The controller continuously monitors authentication status and dynamically updates the user interface based on the authenticated terminal's profile, creating a closed-loop system that adapts the UI according to the connected device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple UI configurations are stored for different terminals, then user interface customization capability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interface customization capabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The memory unit is designed to store multiple UI configuration information sets, each associated with a specific terminal ID. This universal storage structure allows the system to handle different terminal types and authentication scenarios using the same hardware resource, avoiding the need for separate configuration modules for each terminal.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The controller automatically retrieves and applies the appropriate UI configuration information based on the authenticated terminal ID without requiring user intervention or manual configuration. The system serves itself by autonomously matching the terminal ID with the corresponding UI settings and applying them, thereby reducing operational complexity despite storing multiple configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

An apparatus and a method are provided for automatically converting a user interface (UI). A Bluetooth-automatic authentication function is performed so as to automatically convert a current set UI to a stored UI corresponding to an authenticated Bluetooth terminal. In order to automatically convert UI of a terminal which is automatically authenticated in a short communication mode, at least one terminal ID for automatic authentication and UI configuration information corresponding to the terminal ID are set. When a terminal ID for automatic authentication is searched in a short distance communicating mode, a terminal corresponding to the searched terminal ID is automatically authenticated. The present UI configuration information corresponding to the automatically authenticated terminal is automatically applied to a current terminal UI, so that a current UI such as a main screen and a main menu category can be automatically converted to a preset UI corresponding to each authenticated Bluetooth terminal.
