Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing application management methods for smart interaction tablets are inefficient, requiring manual management of applications on multiple devices, which reduces efficiency when managing multiple smart interaction tablets simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
An application management method and system that allows for unified control instructions to be sent to multiple smart interaction tablets, enabling silent updating and management of applications across all devices, using protocols like MQTT or IOT, and incorporating management applications to classify, add, or delete applications and devices, improving management efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual management methods are used for applications on multiple smart interaction tablets, then individual device control is maintained, but management efficiency deteriorates when managing multiple devices simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple device management operations into a single unified management interface. The management terminal aggregates application lists from multiple smart interaction tablets and allows centralized control operations, combining what would otherwise require separate manual interventions on each device into one coordinated action.
Solution Approach 2:
The management terminal serves as an intermediary between the user and multiple smart interaction tablets. It receives user instructions, processes them centrally, and distributes appropriate control commands to target devices, eliminating the need for direct manual management on each tablet and significantly improving management efficiency.
2Productivity
If unified control instructions are sent to multiple smart interaction tablets, then management efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases due to coordination requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments management functions into distinct modules: device discovery, application list aggregation, control instruction generation, and command distribution. Each module handles a specific aspect of the management process, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining unified management capability across multiple devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The management terminal implements universal control capabilities that can manage multiple types of smart interaction tablets through a single interface. It provides multi-functional operations including application installation, updates, and deletion across diverse devices, reducing the need for device-specific management procedures and simplifying the overall system architecture.
3Ease of operation
If silent updating is implemented for applications across all smart interaction tablets, then user intervention is reduced, but reliability may deteriorate due to lack of user confirmation
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the update execution mode based on user preferences and device states. It supports both silent updating for automated operations and confirmed updating when user verification is required, allowing the reliability mechanism to adapt to different operational contexts and user needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the confirmation parameter state based on update scenarios. For routine updates, confirmation is disabled (silent mode), while for critical updates or when anomalies are detected, confirmation is enabled, dynamically adjusting the reliability safeguard based on the specific update context and risk level.
