Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Developing an app capable of operating multiple types of industrial sewing machines on an information terminal requires significant effort and cost, leading to the potential need for multiple apps, which complicates the operation and management.
Innovation Solution
An industrial sewing machine system that includes a web server providing an operation screen simulating an operation panel through a web browser on an information terminal and a sewing machine control part controlling the sewing machine based on operation data, allowing operation without installing multiple apps.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple apps are installed on the information terminal to operate different types of industrial sewing machines, then each sewing machine type can be operated, but the number of apps increases and management becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal web server system that can operate multiple types of industrial sewing machines through a single web browser interface. The web server receives operation data from the web browser and transmits it to the corresponding sewing machine control unit, enabling one information terminal to control various sewing machine types without installing multiple dedicated apps.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a web server as an intermediary component between the web browser on the information terminal and the sewing machine control units. This web server acts as a mediator that receives operation data from the web browser, identifies the target sewing machine type, and forwards the appropriate control signals, thereby eliminating the need for multiple direct communication channels.
2Device complexity
If a single app is developed to operate multiple types of industrial sewing machines, then the number of apps is reduced, but significant effort and cost are required for development
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-service architecture where the web server automatically identifies the type of sewing machine being accessed and routes operation data to the appropriate control unit without requiring manual configuration or complex development for each machine type. The system adapts itself to different sewing machine types through automated identification and routing mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The web server is designed as a universal platform that can handle multiple sewing machine types through a single interface. Instead of developing separate apps for each machine type, the web server provides a unified access point that automatically adapts to different machine types, significantly reducing development effort and cost.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple apps are installed on the information terminal, then different sewing machine types can be operated, but operation and management become complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The web server serves as an intermediary that simplifies operation by providing a unified web-based interface for controlling multiple sewing machine types. Users interact with a single web browser interface instead of switching between multiple apps, and the web server automatically routes commands to the appropriate machine, greatly improving ease of operation and management.
