Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current cloud management systems lack the ability to seamlessly integrate portable devices with cloud computing for diverse IoT applications, particularly in providing a plug-and-play function for remote device management.
Innovation Solution
A cloud management system and method that allows remote devices and mobile devices to share the same login information for cloud access, enabling data transmission and automatic activation of applications on mobile devices when external devices are connected, using a push notification mechanism through a cloud server to identify and control external devices for monitoring and remote control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If cloud management systems integrate portable devices with cloud computing for IoT applications, then the versatility and functionality of the system is improved, but the complexity of device management and integration increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal login mechanism where multiple portable devices (remote devices and mobile devices) can access the cloud server using the same login credentials. This allows different device types to be managed through a unified interface, reducing management complexity while maintaining versatility across diverse IoT applications
Solution Approach 2:
The cloud server acts as an intermediary that mediates between multiple portable devices and external devices. It handles device identification, authentication, and coordination of data transmission, thereby simplifying the management complexity by centralizing control functions in the cloud rather than requiring complex local management on each device
2Ease of operation
If push notification mechanism is implemented to automatically activate applications upon device connection, then the ease of operation is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-configures the relationship between device identification information and corresponding applications in advance. When a device connects, the cloud server already has the mapping information ready, allowing immediate push notification and automatic application activation without requiring complex real-time decision-making or user configuration
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables automatic application activation through push notifications without requiring manual user intervention. The mobile device automatically receives the notification, identifies the connected device, and activates the appropriate application autonomously, simplifying operation while the backend complexity is managed through automated workflows

AI summary
A device management method for use in a cloud system including a remote device, a mobile device and a cloud server is provided. The method includes the steps of: using, by the mobile device and the remote device, a same login information to log in the cloud server; sending, by the remote device, a push notification message to the mobile device through the cloud server when detecting that a first device is connected to a connection port, wherein the push notification message includes first identification information corresponding to the first device; and in response to receiving the push notification message, identifying, by the mobile device, the first device according to the first identification information to activate a respective application so as to perform data transmission with the first device through the respective application.
